Here, let me explain to you.

Sticker, banners and signatures are the three types of MAL's set. It's in order to make other users recognize you easily by having either one of them as your MAL set. Here are the examples how other users on MAL recognized you and your set.

First, when you're browsing the MAL forums, then you submitted a post in any of those MAL forums, which is your post. You'll see your forum set as what has been shown, example like down there.



If you want to get either one of them to make as a forum set, here's the instructions that you'll have to follow:

1 - Open your MAL profile. Example: https://myanimelist.net/profile/yourusername
2 - Hover your keyboard arrow to the very top right of your profile and click "Edit Profile". (Or, you can also click "Forum Settings". It's also the same.)
3 - Then, click on "My Signature". So, that's how you can get or upload an image for your signature. But, if you want an original image on your signature, you'll have to copy any link from a website of an image and paste it here: Click at the "Forum" and paste the link at "Signature".

If you want something stylish and artistic-looking signature(s) but you can't make it by yourself, then you can request it here, at these two optional request forum threads.

1 - SenpieX's "forum avatar and signature creation".

2 - KitKat's "leftovers forum avatars and signatures".

3 - silverwhirlwind's "charming graphics request thread".

Link: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1517480

About the sticker, I'm not really sure what you mean by that but I just only know about banners and signatures. Glad to be able to help you. :)

Sticker sounds like something smaller and/or more square-shaped instead of the shape of a banner (one side much longer than the other). Might also be some of the graphics some people put on their profiles to make them look and feel more important. ;)

But there are also other stickers:

This part may need some more detail.

MAL has two different signature settings, just like two different user-picture settings.

Forum avatar/ userpicture and forum signature settings are found in "Edit Profile -> Forum"

Profile page user picture setting is in "Edit Profile -> Picture"

Then there is "Edit Profile -> Signature" - this is more a signature code generator, that generates the "code" for a signature that derives data from your anime list or manga list and presents it as a picture.

For the generated code to actually be used, you need to copy the code into your forum signature field (see above).
Or from how I understood it, it should also work with any other forum (not MAL) that uses BBCode and that allows URLs and pictures in their signatures.

as example, for me it generates this code
[url=https://myanimelist.net/animelist/BannoBunka_snork&sclick=1][IMG]https://myanimelist.cdn-dena.com/signature/BannoBunka_snork.png[/IMG][/url] 


which will result in this :
*darn, using my right hand is off-limits for a while. Typing with my left hand only is ... eww.*
