I've rated each collection of sigs, not for quality (which has to be subjective) but for how complete I believe the collection to be.

***** Contains pretty much the definitive collection of quotes from the selected theme
****
A huge selection of themed sigs
***
Not a bad selection of sigs
** This archive could do with some more additions
* Abject apologies for such a pitiful collection of sigs, please send me some more to remedy the situation!
