Looks good, although the text should be on the left / middle section. Never have the text near corners or near the edges.
Also, needs 1 or 2 more effects.

nice idea for the text placement although you still have to improve on somethings so I will gonna put like "good" "bad"

Good:
The text placement.
The idea for the BG

Bad:
The text color, you could have chosen a color to match the render.
The BG and render doesnt seem the same, the BG looks more like this
and the render more like this
The light source isnt right look at the render before you make or use a stock image as BG look at the light and try to figure out from where is comes out.

- Placement: Seems to be good, 2 renders on each side with a bar in between, nic pop ou-style signature.
-Blending: seems to blend well, especially their arms, they blend into the BG well.
-Colors: colors seem to match, not overly bright or dark colors.
-Lighting: dont really see it
-Effects: the blocks work well with the render.
-Depth: depth seems good with them being infront of the BG part
-Text and decor: text placement is ok ^^

As PeeWee said, the lighting is the only con.
And tbh I would never make a sig of that style because it narrows down the amount of effects and options that you can have.

I felt like making one too ><

in my opinion 3 things are kinda wrong

1. lightsource is kinda if you wanna make it that obvious try adding a C4D effect on that spot and lower down that light

2. try making the text match the render's color

3. that thingy under the renders arm blade

The light source isn't very realistic. Not to mention that the lack of contrast doesn't help it at all. The right bit should be darker to create contrast and the sticking out of the render parts should be dodged and burnt a bit, I'm not getting a very good depth effect coming from it.
I really love the vibrant colours though, and you use them in every sig of yours. How do you do it? I can never get mine to be that vibrant without looking bad and way too vibrant.

Can't exactly tell what it is. The render blends too much and there isn't enough contrast.
Also, the colours aren't vibrant enough.

Vibrant colors huh?
dont they come naturally depending on the render?

But anyway, i usually make the BG twice, then put the second on a layer mode with 50% opacity, preferably linear dodge, or i raise the saturation by 25, and sometimes contrast by 45, and decrease brightness by 5

I see. I usually use a vibrant layer or two merged with the render and it doesn't look too good.

Ahh, i never use adjusment layers, ever.
I just make permanent adjustments straight to the layers.
