New Vertical Signature

Ive taken into account alot of input i have received such as borders, blending and light. I have made this sig with those things in mind.

if someone can point me to a good typography tutorial that would be immensely helpful also, thanks for taking a look

version 2 - i redefined the light source and increased the border from 4px to 6px

That's strange that your border is still doing this. This is possibly your best so far... I'd try adding a light source though.

i added a light source to the top right of the sig, but i think i accidentally blended it too much, i set it to i think soft light about 68% opacity, and yeah that is a straight 4px solid black border there buddy. perhaps its how im saving the image?

The C4Ds look LQ, also there doesn't seem to be any flow. Try blending the render in more with the effects and bg. Also try working on the text. kiu

Well to not have such LQ c4ds etc, you just need to find a pack that doesnt have LQ ones. lol

And try blending the the focal to not stand out so much by adding textures etc.

No, im not telling you to not focus the focal. I'm telling you to blend it with the sig so it creates flow. It seems all you do it make a bg with C4D's and then place the render on the sig and call it a day.

ha ok thats what it seemed like, um i actually do blend just not very well i guess, i dont just slap a render on top like some people seem to think. i'll try some things out and try to blend it in more to the background, i am confused about one thing though, flow implies movement, how would you create flow in a stationary object? What ive been trying to do is since i have a stationary focal to create the sense of flow around it, with this situation, like using the fractal as almost like an air swirling around. so yeah can you please give me an example of how to create flow in a stationary object?
