I see.

Well yes, I have not yet dabbled into Photoshop myself, so there are certainly limits of what I can and can not do.
I find the idea of the IDs being placed above the character heads intriguing. Though personally in this case the "up your face" was intentional, I will give this a go, since your point about it being overbearing is a good one. I will play around with it, coz now you got me thinking about it, and there is a merit in testing everything to see how it performs, some of that might stick.

Please keep in mind I never done signatures in my life before (always just used text, and maybe found some pic on the internet), so I do not know the "proper etiquette" to Signature creating

I'll try the changes you suggested on my own sig. and will upload it here when done for consultation, if you'd be willing to take a look at it at that time

Edit: Yes, you made me look alright
