A footer includes all data below a certain line as far as i know. So text and images all count :)

An image or even your original logo is much better of course. But since i'm a programmer i stay away from graphics design to prevent people from vomiting ;)

Sorry for sounding like an asshole. I tell you what, I'll make you a footer and send you a follow since I was a shit head. That sound good?

No problem, oh you didn't follow yet? Shame on you :p

Do you have some experience with logo design or something then? You don't have to do it, only if you like doing it.

I'll just jump in right here, since you said we should always look for commenting opportunities. upvoted and followed

Fair enough. What you really should focus on vs what a footer is or not is to put some form of call to action in your post.

You did, you should just make it unique. That was more for your readers than you.
