I like both of them......

But for right now I say go for number 2. :)

[Cloud]

number 2 is my favourite

[Triceratops]

I like number 2 as well :)

[Origami]

I like them really.
Nice pen effect, or C4D, which ever it is. o_0

Idk, I think I just prefer sigs with and image and less obvious text. Idk, most forums avoid making the focal the text.

8/10 overall.
Nice work. Good text sig.

I like your current sig better than the 2nd.
The first isn't showing up BTW :P

[Antares]

Honestly I like the one you have now :D

[BuryYourFlame]

[Origami]

Wouldn't mind if I made a text sig for comparrison would you? o.o
I've made render sigs, stock sigs, and vert sigs, but I haven't tried text sigs yet.


And what program is it that you're using? Paintshop Pro? GIMP? Photoshop? o_0

[BuryYourFlame]

text sig? not sure what you mean, but ok :)

text sig? not sure what you mean, but ok :)

A text sig is where the main focal point of the sig is the text itself. And the flow tries to guide the eyes towards the text versus the complexity (or simplicity) of the background.
Where as (We'll use my current sig as an example) a "normal" sig has a focal of a render or a stock photo, or some fancy effect. And the purpose in a normal sig (as seen below) is to nearly hide the text, or simply make it blend, so the focus is drawn away.

Example:
