Trying to tie all the elements together, and something just seems to be missing:

I'm honestly not sure what. Maybe some more advanced lighting effects? Idk.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Don't look that much alike really. Not what I was going for at least.
Thanks for the critiques so far. I'll try to whip up a new version in a sec w/ more saturation on the letters
 
Looks relatively good! Tho the brushes in the background kinda fight with it.. They don't blend that well..
Also; try to get some lighting in there, now it's kinda dark and dull, make it "BOOM" out more.
 
I like the darkness of it, I think it would lend itself to some really nice fluorescent pink highlights, just streaks along the inside rim of the letters.

Also, the 'i' needs some attention. I think the highlights will give it the pop you're looking for.

thats what i was trying to say in my post just didnt have the words for it lol
 
Obvious changes to make this into a more professional work:

The spacing is nice, but you'll have to make sure that text doesn't run through each other. Your dotted "I" needs to not have the dot run down through the lower piece. Use Photoshop to correct The "S" running through your "I", as well as the "R" running through your "E", and things will look much nicer.

Additionally, consider not allowing the outer material any "plastic" or "metalic" effects. It would look loads better if it looked like stone, but you've got a shine effect running the top of your text that doesn't belong unless there's a piece of glass running along the facing of the text [including over the stone.]

Most of the brushing works with this text idea, as the technical style is almost "construction" themed. I like the color. The circle, however, behind the back could be replaced with, say, a crane. Put a dump truck up front. Go toward the look of today's Ford "F-Series" advertisements and you'd polish this up just as it looks like it should.

P.S.: For the sake of validity, I only used Photoshop to make the "3D" effects on my current signature. No stock images, and only stock fonts were used.

Thanks everyone!

Tried to add more dynamic brushes, better lighting, and more discrete color

I quite like the first one. The texture within the text is awesome! Feel free to make me one similar to it :D
 
the lighting on the left side of the second one seems right but the really bright dot on the right side doesn't look like it should be there
