Alright love, Saw this stock and Immediately had the idea of keeping the flower's color and making the rest black/white with a little red mixed in. Did a lot of stuff to it, hope you like it <3

that is extremely smooth
the red totally gives the sig that "pop"
and the black and white gives it the cool factor
great sig :love:

I absolutely love it. For some strange reason, I've always thought guys wearing fedoras / bowler hats looked really cool, haha.

As a gift Sig, it's fantastic. Quite honestly, it's my favorite out of all the ones that you've made. The isolated red looks amazing. I've isolated color like that once - it was a yellow - but it turned out nowhere as nice as yours. And the tangent red line running up the middle left really completes it. I love the clipping masks around the red lines, and the two perpendicular, intersection black lines alongside that. It all gives it a real cool, collected feel - a stranger in the night. I think you really captured the emotion of secretness with this one, as you did with both of your other latest works - Guess and Serenity.
Font is fantastic too, and the white seagull looks beautifully placed.

Overall, I love it. Thanks so much, HOLLAstir. I really, really appreciate it. 10/10 from me, and I'm truthfully not saying that just because it's a gift from you to me. :]

Of course I like it. I even like the size. I think we share the same taste in Sigs.

Kinda off topic, and this might sound really random, but you know that I'm a guy, right? Because everybody always thinks that I'm a girl. And then Shadowman always comes romping around.

I know what you mean. I do it too on AIM. But I was just making sure, haha.

Thanks one last time. It's fantastic! I'm off to wrap up my homework now. One more day, and then its Winter Break!

guh, holla, you outdid yourself on this one. definitely my favorite one you have done. the flow is perfect. the pen tool lines (at least that is what i assume them to be) have just the right contour, and even the tinne motion blur on the trademark seagull is tasty. to be honest, the part i like best is the tiny little dot of a clipping mask that overlaps the red line. just so tasteful.

9.4/10 from me.

Wow, that sig is really sex. I agree with all the positive comments. I'd give it a 9.5 / 10. I like this sig even more than the The Killers sig.

BUT... all your sigs seem to look fairly similiar to me. Try something new? <3

I'm not talking about the style. For example all your sig is a big face in the middle and then effects to the left and right. I'd love to see you do a sprite sig or whatever.

Don't get me wrong though, I really love the sigs you do.

That's just the type of stocks I like to work with. Ofcourse i'll mix it up, but if you expect me to make sprite sigs your mistaken. That's not my style, sorry.

Dig it, classy and simple is always a secure choice and sometimes the best choice. I think it works well with the piece, perhaps because the piece has an elegant nature to it some typography tweaks could be made for a bit more pop.

Sorry if you weren't looking for critique, I know its a gift -- and a damn good one :)
