Sports (Always lots of ideas here)
Elements (Can be a very creative one)
Fractal Designs (Can either be designing them or using them in the Sig)
Game Systems (Why not give love to the systems too )
Game Companies (Gotta show the love for our game designers)
Computer Companies (Another love showing one.)


Just a few I've seen done or wanted to try myself. Hope you like.

Until we have more members who are regularly participating in SOTW, it might be best to stay away from very specific themes. For example this time we specifically did Men in Black 3, probably would of received more entries if it was movies in general. Reason for that is that people would have been able to choose from movies they have seen and liked, making them more interested in creating a signature for the SOTW.

[BossAlien]

Thats actually a very good suggestions and I also agree with it Lelouch Vi Britannia. I will make the themes much more easier and open so that we get more members participating in them.

Or how about the winner of SOTW#2 gets to choose the next theme?

[Lelouch Vi Britannia]

I like the idea of allowing the winner to choose the next theme, gives winning greater importance. Be one of the rewards for winning along with being able to showcase you won SOTW in the past with the image rewards you are also giving out.

[BossAlien]

Yep I think it would be pretty good too! xD
