This sounds like a fun project. Lets see...

It's usually a good idea to place the picture to the left. That
way the poster can add text to the right without having to worry
about messing up the alignment of the picture. So, lets turn him
around:

Then a nice "BUAF" with the poster's name. The sig he already
uses has a nice "rune" like look to it.

Lets take that ship and put it in this new sig. First we need
to get Robby out of there, and I think I'll turn this one around
too, and then it needs to be taller to look good with this new,
taller viking...
