eddy i know your going for subtlty but i dont much like the soccergrip colour on either, i think raising the opacity on the masked white bit would make it a bit less of an 'annoyance' to the eye n more of a subtle text.
and i dont like the second sig. good idea but the reflection, while always a nice effect, looks messy and out of place with the logo behind it.
im mentioning the negs cos i think thats wat you should change, but take anything i havent commented on as a success ;) mkkk?
