How Do You Get Those Nice "Fanboy" Signatures?

They're really nice. Can I have one?
I seem to be infatuated over the C2 and C3 freighters. They're tough, fast, look great, and can go a very long ways. Very handy ships to have until the Liberties and Victories come along.
POST EDIT::
After a little internal deliberation, I finally decided to brew one up myself. Not too bad, eh?

I'm not cool enough for a fanboy logo so I stuck with a hypnotoad. All glory to the hypno toad!

ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD!
Treetop64, Dixie, Sulu Sea, Rogue USMC and DivePac88 are well-known whizzes at putting these things together. A PM to one of those awesome dudes may be in order. [:)]

I work with a great graphic artist. I just bought her lunch, and provided her with some images and a few ideas and let her do the rest. As for the avatar, I am the official Q&A guy for Federation and Empire by Amarillo Design Bureau (
http://www.starfleetgames.com). The game designer provided the B10 image for me. I just sized each for appropriate space on the forum and put them into my profile via photobucket.

I just asked that amazing Dixie if he could and would do one for me and mentioned the theme. The rest sprang from his very fertile mind. Truly amazing.

Gah! Forgot to give credit where credit was due. DivePac88 was kind enough to put my siggy together a few years ago. All hail DivePac88! [&o]

Next question is, can you upload it to the Matrix forum, or are you going to need to have web space of your own and refer back to it in a URL?
I can make my own, but no point if I end up having to sign up for an account somewhere just for one sig banner.

I have an account with ImageShack. Can use that, right? Though, I would prefer to just save it locally and upload it.

Something I cooked up with a quick Google Image Search and some image-editing:

Actually, I'm gonna take a stab at creating one myself. How hard could it be?
@ Gredinko_2000: Saw your post as soon as I posted.
P.S. - Oh, and what are the size limits for sigs, or will it autosize to the max allowed if too big.

Well, how's that? I now have a sense of satisfaction from doing the job myself.
