Just another one of me raping the shit out of the blur tool, seem to enjoy this style. What do you guys think. (Note) the text is just a watermark, so no opinions on that please lol, also used the same fractals as the last one, seemed to fit here.

Over using the blur tool is one of the worse things you can possibly do. Sure you can use it to add depth, but usually it's better to use burn and dodge to bring out shadows and highlights in your background to achieve this.

I think it looks like crap.

It has a centered focal, which, while possible, is really hard to make look good. It's easier, and more appealing to the eye to use the rule of thirds.
The rule of thirds is generally a photography skill, but it works in tagging too.

As stated by others you overused the blur tool. This doesn't look good. It just makes the tag look unappealing and boring.
There is nothing going on in the tag. It's not simplistic, but it has nothing.

Use colours. Monotone is really boring, and again, really difficult to pull off well. Even to pull it off well usually requires multiple shades of the same colour.
You used purple and white.

Also your render appears to be floating.

The white c4d has just been blurred.

The border looks silly. it's better to go with no border.

in the end my advice to you is this:
if you want to continue to make crap like this stay in the graphic request forum.
If you want to make good stuff, and want to get better read good tutorials.

I NEED A TUTORIAL FOR YO SIGNATURE

well I lost the .psd to this one a long while ago, however, this tut is for one that was made in a similar style:

That surprises me, all the shapes look like they'd be pentool'd on illustrator

yeah, I wish I was that good at pentool. I'm pretty sure I used another stock for the shapes, and then added the Red stock.

and typo/10

his signature is boring bro.
