I'm new to graphics, so no, I know it's not that good. I made that in Fireworks (the Tomahawk Talk sig) Constructive critism is welcome.

Actually, you should check out some sites like fonts.com and find some stuff that works better with GFX. Most of the default fonts are pretty bland. 2) Play around with some renders. Again, I'm not sure how this helps with the program you're using, but if you have any filters available just copy an image and throw a little bit of everything on it. 3) Borders are always good. If you have just like, a 1 pixel pencil available, you can just make an outline around a layer the same size as the sig itself and toss it on top.

Sometimes they look cool, but others, it seems to cut off the artwork rather than make it stand out.
