V1 is way better. The colors add a lot of depth, and they're just pretty.

It's very cool, I love what you did with all the shapes and everything. The half-circle at the bottom that the lines are coming out of just doesn't fit quite right, though. It's a little too sharp. I think a softer, light source kind of look would fit better there than just a circle.
The right side of the sig seems a little blank to me. Everything on the left sort of flows from your focal point, but the right doesn't have that quite as much. The shapes that you're using there look nice, but they don't really fit with the flow of the sig.
Also, for whatever reason, I don't really like the text. I'm not quite sure what it is about it, but something seems a little off. Maybe try a little more spacing between the letters, and see if that looks a little better.

Other than those points, it's a very good sig. I love the depth that the colors add, and the shapes are really cool, and fit together nicely.

Yeah, I really like the third one more. Although the light at the bottom is maybe too bright, but overall, a good sig.

I plan to make it darker for the final Sig, but until I've done the necessary adjustments I won't worry about the lighting being too bright. My Photoshop screen to actual forum lighting levels are different, so I have to make it darker on photoshop to make it good enough here.

I don't think it's always bad to have something that's so bright. It works in a lot of cases I think. But this is coming from someone who doesn't really make signatures much.

I really like it; especially how it flows upwards.

FABULOUSSSSS!!

V3 text is a lot better, but it's now too busy. I disagree with Anya about the right hand side and the lighting at the bottom, I think they work great. Though the changes to the lighting in V3 also still look good, it's just that you've now added too much.

Well, I played around with it a bit, added some Gradient maps, erased some of the lighting and brushing, and I made a fun Gradient map for a goofy version.

I love both V4 and V5 xDD.

Though I reckon I'd enter V4, I think that might appeal to more people, if not only because it's more colourful.

Awesome job on these Brandon, they're by far your best yet.

I'd set either V4 or 5 as your default. Great job.

EDIT: watermark them. Now.

Not that it does me any good ¬_¬ XP, but hey, better off trying to deter them yeah? xD

Good Idea, I'll watermark, but I'm adding something else. + I'll default and change SOTW Version.

I love it. Simple, effective; catches the eye. First version. What brushes/effects and/or programs did you use?

8/10
