Yeah, that about sums it up.  I know the font sucks, but no clue on how to improve it. So, yeah, rates, constructive flames, and comments appreciated. iycatacombs.com/offsite/new_sig.gif

It's nice, I like the effect in it, but the guy does look a bit weird. =/
The font is better than just a normal unedited text too, just slap a border on it and you're good to go.

Awesome blending. Everything looks good in the image, but I would just have a different font style with better effects. If you haven't done this already (and if you have Photoshop), go into Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options and toy around with everything in there. Other than that, awesome job.

That's how I did the slight Bevel and Emboss on the text. And since when do you know PS SO? o.O Font is like my weakness. I need to improve on it, a lot.

I've been doing coding and graphics for over a year now (or rather, that I've started it back then...). I just haven't gotten very far in either, but I consider myself slightly better in graphics than in coding (which still isn't saying too much). And that's funny. I'm better at fonts than I am in backgrounds. As for the bevel and emboss, experiment in that, especially the different kinds of inner bevels, etc.

I have. I suck at fonts. Remember that college-paper-length review for my site you typed? Half the things you pointed out were fonts XD Not graphics, just fonts. And I meant since when did you know PS and still remember it?

Oh yeah, I remember that...
And I've known PS for...a little over a year, like I've said. I just haven't continually practiced it (same goes for coding), which would explain my...non-improvement. But I've done some stuff there (and in IR).
As for fonts, put a drop shadow, inner shadow, outer glow, and inner glow on them, and change the opacity on each (and the color, too). Then put the bevel and emboss on, and put something like "Chisel Hard," with a size of 2 or 3 (it depends on the size of the font). Put a one pixel stroke on the text too. It all comes with experimentation.
But that background is awesome.
