So yeah, short version is, I'm hosting the generator but I don't want to take on the role of "steward of everyone's signature images" so you can't direct link from the output by design.
But.... zerzhul's post got me thinking. Imgur has a decent-ish API, so I added some functionality so the generator can now post the image to imgur for you and save a couple steps. It needs more testing but seems to be working alright, so I put it up as beta functionality. If anyone has problems with it, let me know. (eg: if it kicks you to the normal generation page when you opt to post to imgur, that probably means something blew up with imgur).

Thank you based people who know how to do this shit
Could be the black back, red number and the BYOC strip in place of the E? I dunno how hard that'd be since it already has the black base for enforcers. And I dunno if the [E] matches the height of the other ones to just plaster it over neatly.
For reference, I've gotten a few requests via PM and other stuff for some changes and features. Now that the new year has rolled over and things have quieted down a bit on my actual job. I'm putting some work in on this again. I should have an update out shortly after I get back from South.
I had a SPG badge this year. Not sure if that is on your list of add-ons
Currently working on:
1. New Badge Types:
Special Guest
Content Creator
Exhibitor
Vendor
All Access/Staff (I doubt this will get used, but you never know)
2. Adding a couple different "styles" for certain types of badges, particularly enforcer.
3. Moving things to GWT (this shouldn't really affect anything for you all, just an FYI)
4. Adding some better options for doing "custom" things with layout etc.
5. Adding support for PAX unplugged
Going to be a bit to finish things, but I am working on it. Maybe this weekend if I really get my shit together.
2/10 Update: Still working on this, got sick unfortunately, and now I'm behind at actual work again, so tabled temporarily until I catch up.
Any chance of getting a Cookie Brigade version? I know it's not a badge type, but since it IS what I do at PAX, I'd love to have a version that represents that. Maybe around the numbers have a tan circle with a chunk out of the top?

Not sure off hand how best to handle this, but I'll see if I can figure something out.
In a signature generator, I would think that cookie brigade would be more something like malgaras has in their sig right now, sort of an overall tag. I'm all for additional stuff but I would think since CB isn't a badge type it might not go on the badge stuff itself? Just spitballing
Alright, so I know I'm OBSCENELY late at this point, and I apologize for that. I'll spare you the details, but short version is I've been busy with real life and have been super strapped for time.
The GOOD news is that I finally got a new version out. Rewrite is still incomplete (learning new frameworks takes a while ) but in the meantime I got 95% of the to-do list taken care of:
Added a bunch of new badge types (Content creator, vendor, exhibitor, vip, speaker, special guest, staff)
Added support for PAX unplugged
Removed the stupid port designation from the URL (minor, but it was bugging me)
It's up now, might need a DNS flush on your side since I moved the server. Beyond that, I'd love any feedback, particularly on the new badge types (the look on some could maybe use some tweaking), and if you find any bugs I introduced that I missed.

The generator worked great for me! So much easier than fiddling with it in a paint program. Thank you for creating this tool. :biggrin:
Added root domain forwarding (paxsignaturegenerator.com works as well now, no "www" needed).
Fixed a bug where wrapped images were being created on a canvas much larger than necessary.
Moved the server again, because I fail at security and keep locking myself out. Site might appear down for a day or so until DNS records propagate. It's here if you need it right now.

Saved the photo, uploaded it to imgur and saved it in signatures and nothing is showing up. Fixed! Also someday I'd like to find out how to change my username, if that is even possible.

Per "The Rules" FAQ : We do not change usernames or delete accounts. Don't ask. Before you pick your username be certain that it is the one you want because it is yours for life. The only time in which name changes are granted is if they are purchased in our annual Solid Saints charity auction and the auction prices are often high.
@Malgaras the signature generator site appears to be unavailable. I'm hitting a connection error and Google cache's last save was April 17, 2018. Any chance this awesome tool will be back up Soon™ ?

EDIT: Also known as this: https://github.com/gespo89/PAXSignatureGenerator/issues/8
EDIT2: For The Aviatrix: https://broadstone.github.io/PAXSignatureGenerator/src/main/webapp/index2.html It doesn't fit your preferred ordering, but it can make the pattern you want. Also the upload option is nonfunctional.

Edit: So apparently a billing issue with AWS. Be back up once I get it sorted out.
Edit2: Back up.
Got my sig updated! Thanks @Malgaras
