C4D Tag

So I see allot of people with this Type of Tag/Sig so I gave it a try

Any CnC or rating thanks :)

Its cool but there's too much empty space, render choice didnt really help with that.
Bg is kinda too blurry imo, other than that its cool, kiu!

looks good well executed but that washed-out feel is a NO-NO. Try too control yerr blurring and sharpening.

So something like this W/O the Blur?

Much much better without the blur, I was going to complain about the c4d not being blended well, but removing that blur actually helped imo.
I don't like the text where it is right now, at all really. It is a nice tag though mate, very appealing.

Thanks I think I might just remove the text later as well :I text is always so... lol
