Ok... This sig is pretty simple. There's no clipping masks or anything like that. All you really need is some good c4ds and a nice stock to work with. This technique can be used with a lot of things. SO GOOD LUCK!! :)

Here is the signature were gonna make:

Step 1:

-Make a new canvas... I made mine 400x130.
-it doesnt really matter what color it is because the stock will cover it up

Step 2:

-Click open as layers and open up your stock... i used a stock from the game "Darkwatch" i think it is.
- resize it until you get it to fit like mine

Step 3:


- Here's where it gets pretty complicated... Duplicate the stock layer and then hide the bottom 2 layers.
- Erase around the focal (The darkwatch guy) with a soft brush (the circle brush with the faded sides). Do your best to get rid of the white around him.

Step 4:

- unhide the bottom 2 layers
- On the original stock image, go to filters>blur>guassian blur and blur it at default settings
- Then set the blurred layer to whatever looks good

Step 5:


- Open up a nice effect c4d and set it to whatever looks nice
- Erase where it looks bad

Step 7:


Heres my favorite part... Gradient mapping!!

-Go to edit>copy visible
-Then edit> paste
-make a new layer
-Set both your foreground and background colors to a light blue
- then colors>map>gradient map
- Set to whatever you like :)

Heres what i got
