Whoa! I don't really like Len but this one looks really cool. The way the flowing thingy (ribbon!? spilled paint!?) move about, the use of steel floor pattern and boxes in the background that give the futuristic feel to the graphic, the lighting that focus from below-upward and the quote: everything just match and flow together to form a very beautiful sig
*grabby paws* Me wants it *drool*

wooooow very pretty

1] I love how you took the flat looking image and REALLY brighten it up. I love the color glows and the background is awesome I love the bright blue and just all the colors. I think maybe a small text caption or something else could have been added to this, but really the colors and how you changed the original image to this is beautiful on its own. great work.

2] very nice colors as well. I love the flow and how it easily leads your eyes across the piece. the lines around the character are a bit pixelated, i suggest maybe using the blur tool and smooth out those lines. The border and how you blurred those parts out is really awesome, although something seems off about it. I'm not sure, but I'm still liking how you blurred it out

anyway both pieces are fabulous and the colors are beautiful in both, really I love how you both used them!

But my vote goes to #1 :]

Vote: Sig #1

Sig 1: I love the colors and the styling--I wish it had next though.

Sig 2: Very pretty, but the border on this totally kills it for me.

My vote: #2

1 - Beautiful colors, it's bright and vivid and lovely. I like the mix of tools used, and the end result is very eye-catching, but the blurred parts seem somewhat strange to me.
2 - Awesome result! The tool use is more subtle, elegant, and the end result is fabulous; every part of it makes sense, the color combination is very eye-catching, and I especially like the emotional response it evokes.
Congrats to both gfx artists for their work!

My vote: Sig 1As soon as I saw it, I couldn't take my eyes off of it. It's beautiful, and seems to have a life of it's own. I like how bright it is, and it's simple, nothing too complex. It doesn't take away from the render. I love this signature

Okay someone break the tie ;D
