I like the last one, The render blends in. And the text is good

 

I like the first one the most.

The second one isn't too bad, it just doesn't appeal to me.
I don't like the 'noise' effect on the third one.
The last one is good also, it was a tough vote between the first and last for me.

Overall they are all pretty good.

 

The third one wasn't a 'noise' effect at all, it was infact caused by the quality lossed when uploading gif formats that don't support the color in the palette.

 

Oh. My mistake. It really looks like a "noise" effect.

 

The second one, it's a nice one only you shouldn't have stretches the render..

 

Go for the first

The fourth isn't bad, but I don't like the pure black backing. It flattens the depth created by the rest of the sig.

The third is a bit sloppy, and I'm not crazy about the color combinations used in the second or the stretched height dimension.

 

I like the last one like the smoothness of it all

 

all pretty horrible to me but the first is a bit better and cleaner than the rest

 

I don't think I did my best but then again, Signature really isn't proving much skill in Graphic Designing. A little feathering and brushing just make it blend in a bit which is basic. I haven't seen anyone post a good portfolio here yet.
