How to Make a Vertical Gamertag

Gamertags are identifiers that represent gamers. They are automatically built by users when they join Xbox Live. While you can customize elements of the gamertag through Xbox Live, you can customize a tag even more by loading it into an editor on your computer. All gamertags are traditionally horizontal, but you can customize them to be vertical by using a program called EzGt 2.2.
