orCnC did it as a request... all I used in this sig was the PSD itself. not stocks, no brushing, no "blending options", no pen tool or line tool, I used the eraser but only the soft round one between 20 and 50. it was fun. challenging. oh I didn't use the render for the border or text haha.
Thats pretty nice .. how did you do the lighting with the render? nice text btw gjI prefer the thicker border

(if you want to give it a more old looking effect set layer to saturation (after you desaturate it) and lower opacity a bit.
I like the second one better because of the border but in sigs, I usually don't care for the thick black border, maybe do the 2 px white and then 1 px black??
