At this point I'm wondering if I should stop flooding the boards with my half assed signature making. >_< But, I'm looking for some kind of feedback, so here's my latest work.

No, not at all. Just taking some time away from the forums here and there.
I like this one, the colors behave well with each other, what I often do is build my signatures around the render keeping with the render's natural properties (colors, lighting, etc). I like the divided corner concept, and the faint lines at the bottom are a nice subtle touch. Text I have mixed feelings on though, same with the black pixel border you used.
Perhaps try a different text style, by decreasing its size and moving it closer to the render (or the focal point) and have it fade a bit. When the text is too far away from the focal point, it can become rather distracting. Here's an example of mine from years ago:
I appreciate the tips. Text and foreground effects are still giving me the most trouble. I have a hard time making text that isn't distracting, as well as pulling the focal point out of the background. I'll try to work on creating more blended texts.
