Constructive criticism please on my siggy. Thx

It's alright. Very plain and simplistic which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's way too dark for sythe's bg. You should pretty much avoid using black as a main text color if it's going to be one shade since it's so hard to see on here. Change the shade of the blue text to a lighter color or a different color if you want your overall sig to be more cohesive and more legible. If it wasn't for the lighter shade of blue at the top of the text, I wouldn't have noticed it at all.

SIMPLISTIC!?!?!!

I personally like things that are simplistic.. Not trying to be insulting :/. I can tell you put effort into it. It's just that some things look easy to do but are actually way harder you know. I know I wouldn't be able to make a sig like yours.. No idea how to do that in gimp but if it makes you feel better, your sig looks better than a lot of the sigs I see from gfx shops on sythe.

The line.. MY EYES!
Okay, here's the thing: Make things look more organic.
Don't know what organic is? This is an example.

Now, the colours and the font simply curses with the colour scheme Sythe is using, the flare in the O looks kindof akward and the text under it isn't that nice to look at, it makes me want to look away..
I'll sum something up for you to work on:

1) Make the text look nicer and more subtle: You do not want it to look pointy and plain! (There's nothing wrong with pointy in general.)
2) You want the colours to look very nice on the background, this is like haveing a poodle together with a tiger; They don't match, look akward together and it's something that's VERY DANGEROUS to do! The dog will probably get eaten..
3) DO NOT BLUR TEXT!

K, I'll try thanks for the input. Is the color for the 'Phantom866" ok? or is overall all the colors and fonts clashing with the Sythe color scheme?

They both clash with the look in general, it just doesn't look right.
