The font is a total no-no.
Signatures without a border are a total no-no (apart from some exceptions).
The picture in total is actually pretty good (is it tutorialized?).

Change the font to arial black and on each letter lower it's opacity to less than the one before.

I THINK IT HAS POTENTIAL

but needs a total makeover

desaturate it (ctrl + shift + u)

and give it a new life by pressing ctrl + u and then ticking colorize and playing around till you get a color you like.

Also you insist on using these far out fonts, well the only way you're gonna make one of them look good is possibly, by while you still have the font selected, at the top where there should be a drop down box with a list like crisp, strong etc. set that to smooth, then give it an effect, but be subtle, like an outer glow that is similar to the color of the rest of the picture and maybe a very slight emboss or a very slight drop shadow and for the love of christ don't make it baby blue, stick to like, black.

Also, a 1 pixel black border is fine and nicer than this red thing.

I personally think if you follow that you will have a very signature

Actually, the text looks a hell of alot better, would be nicer a few sizes smaller. I do agree, it looks a hell of alot better colorized!

I would give it a decent 7 out of ten after you've cleaned up the text a little :)

If you would get a nice simple font for it i would give you a 9/10.

I didnt think the font you had (on the original colorized version) was all that bad (seemed to match the image), just needed making smaller. However that font's fine, good job.

A lot better IMO. only i think it could use some "hardening" if you know what i mean, maybe make it darker.

He means put it as your signature. And i basically ment that maybe try making the font darker.

I don't like the thick border, but otherwise nice. :) The plain simple font looks much better than the other, the other looked too... too empty? Just didn't match the image. With a simple 1px white border, I would give it 8/10.
