forum footers - text or image?

So lets assume we are talking about nofollow links, meaning there is no passing link juice.

Which do you prefer to use in your signatures - text links with text descriptions or graphical banners and why do you feel that way?

Personally, I think images are great IF they are not HUGE and look good.

But subtle text can also be eye-catching, especially if there are a lot of images in others' signatures or on site.

Per our TOS:

Signatures
• Signatures must not exceed 180 pixels in height.
• Standard member accounts do not have live links available in their signatures.
• Emulating a signature by posting a signature at the bottom of posts, with or without links, is forbidden.
• In order to have graphics and live links in your signature, you must purchase an upgrade for your account.

Why not a combination?

Haha I tried to make it general enough not to make it to obvious what I was asking. I suppose you saw right through that. You actually gave me a great idea though. Thinking perhaps a banner with 3 text links directly above it showcasing what it is we actually do and how it works.

As soon as I hit 100 messages/posts I will be upgraded - just gathering my ducks in a row so I know exactly what I want my signature to look like.

I normally use text but images work great.
