The render looks a lot better this time around. The composition here is pretty nice overall, too.
I would suggest, in the future, try matching the colors and theme of your text with the colors and theme of your signature. White text like this tends to stand out too much, which winds up distracting from the focal. Clipping masks for the text probbaly would have looked great with this piece, to be honest. There's a lot of color and effects in this one, which means a clipping mask would be great for making that text really mesh well with everything else.
Here's how to do a clipping mask: Do your text layer. Create another new layer above your text layer. Go to Image > Apply Image > right click your new applied image layer > click on "Create Clipping Mask." After that, use the Move tool on that same layer and you'll see your signature moving around inside the text; just position it well. Just remember that clipping masks only work well with bold fonts, like the one you have in this signature. They're not good with slim/thin fonts.
Not everyone uses clipping masks for text, but I think they're a great way to make text add on to signatures rather than take away from them. Once you experiment with them I'm sure you'll love using them. They're also great for splatter brushes.

I actually know about Clipping Mask but never really use it for text. Thanks for the tip. I'll try making use of it.
