Cool, no?

The space at the bottom is for me to add acronyms for other groups I join. :P

It's difficult to read the small blue text properly.

It's blurry and hard to make out. The mecha head looked like some weird cartoon slug or whale smiling and giving a thumbs-up when I first glanced at it. Also, the smaller text is very difficult to make out, specifically the smaller blue text. It would probably be good if you lined up Soundwave's image with the edges of the image itself so that it looks like the crop was intended and not forced. Keep a master version of the file around on your hard drive with the dead space for later group additions, but tighten it up for now and make the maximum use of your space, chopping off anything you aren't using right away.

Also, consider maybe using a lighter background so that Soundwave isn't outlined in white as obviously as he is here.

Its blurry and the left mecha looks pretty bad with the squared off bottom and side. The one on the right is much better, with the background flowing around it. The blue text us very poor, too small, blurred made worse by a shitty choice of color.

DP, darling, your banner is a bit tall. The maximum height for sig banners is 100 and yours is 114. This is in pixels. The width is fine.

Ah, much better. You may want to go with a brighter color for the MM writing on the right. It's a bit hard to make out.

That font so small, combined with the colour means I can barely read it.
