First of all, I want to thank you for making ToonSig your preferred WoW character signature generator — over 20,000 signatures have been generated at ToonSig to-date! We’re elated to say the least! But enough jibber jabber…to the updates!

We’ve updated ToonSig to support the new Worgen and Goblin races — so when Cataclysm hits the streets, we’ll be ready for you!

Speaking of Cataclysm, the Armory has been updated with some new information available to us and we think that we can make some significant updates to make things more optimal behind the scenes to manage your signatures. Fortunately the changes in the Armory haven’t been so dramatic, in that our app works as-is. But with that said, we’ve got some changes up our sleeves in the coming months.

We want to improve your experience at ToonSig and are going to make the process for creating and updating your signatures easier, faster, and more convenient — in addition we want to provide you some tools for your guild to connect with each other and collaborate. There are a few known issues and bugs, and we’d normally address them with a patch; but we’ve got a re-build up our sleeves and hope to issue that out in the coming months.

Some of the changes include:

• Continued free signature generation (non-hosted)
• Premium hosted signature generation with your armory data stored for quick updates
• New signature themes for premium members
• Guild collaboration tools
• Tiny URL style links for all your signatures and profiles
• Raid calendar for premium members
• And more…

Watch for details here at the Captain’s Log.

I’ve recently put together a video that covers the general features of ToonSig along with highlights on why you ought to become a member at ToonSig. Among the features is the ability to batch update all of your signatures with a single click. Check out our features and tutorial video:

Being an administrator has its privileges — for one I can see a snap shot of the vast variety of guild names across multiple servers both stateside and across the pond. And beyond your run-of-the-mill names like E V I L, Black Death, and Desecration, I’ve seen quite a few guild names that have entertained me nonetheless.

As a treat for hump day, here’s ten guild names that made me lol (and their realm names):

1. we are potty trained (Kul Tiras-EU)
2. Allergic to Stupid (Shadowsong-US)
3. The Happiness Patrol (Graymane-US)
4. from Accounting (Laughing Skull-US and Elune-US)
5. Initech (Cairne-US)
6. Doom and Rainbows (Terenas-US)
7. This guild has talent (Shattered Halls-EU)
8. The Drama Initiative (Dalaran-US) – nice homage to LOST
9. Fission Chips (Proudmoore-US)
10. Amateur Pwnography (Twisting Nether-EU)

Because a 140-character Twitter post sometimes isn’t enough to convey a message, I’ve set up the Captain’s Log for sharing updates, new release notes, future development information, and general World of Warcraft banter. Both the Captain’s Log and our Twitter feed will keep you sufficiently up-to-date with all things ToonSig.

Thanks for supporting ToonSig!
