    it looks ok, but that abstract kinda look has been done to death and it has little to no depth, also, try not to use so much text in that big of font. Your well on your way though, read some tutorials to learn a bunch more... 6/10

    yours is actually one of the best abstracty style sigs I've seen, but it's still been done to death and there are better looking ways to have a similar effect but with depth and lighting added to it to make it a really awesome sig. And I didn't say you were using a tutorial I just meant that maybe you should try a few even if you just want to use them as a way to get ideas and learn techniques that will help you make some more professional looking sigs. But as with everything, practice makes perfect, so just keep making sigs and most importantly don't let what any one says discourage you and don't take anything personally because especially if you join some of the elitist graphics forums out there, someone will always have something bad to say about one of your sigs, even if it's perfect...

    Its decent. Blending could use some work. Maybe spot sharpening?

    It's very blue ..... very very blue. But it looks pretty good, I think it looks pretty good as a sig. I wish I had photoshop to make stuff ....
