Mistakes:

Contrast between the render/focal and your background. I looks like a blanket screen over all parts of your signature and turns into an abyss of purple and black that just looks messy.

Although light does not necessarily have to make sense in a signature, when you have an obvious glare on the hat of your render, you should put more work into making it apparent that the light is from the top left corner.

Saturation, well I'm not sure if it's saturation or what exactly you did, maybe the brightness/contrast settings, but please fix it.

Smudge tool, please do not make it as obvious as you did. You want everything in your signature subtle, and keeps the viewer guessing and thinking for a few seconds before realizing what exactly you did. Especially with white on dark, you'll want to be careful of the effects you choose.

Random things that make no sense, cut them out. The most obvious being that purple, for lack of a better term, smudge to the left of your render.

White/Light, once again, be careful when you are using it. The "light" to the top of your render is extremely overwhelming and everyone stares at that instead of everything else. Blend a few effects in with your other colors to lessen the intensity.

Blurred render? You rarely want that and in this case you don't need it. It makes the render too much a part of the background but at the same time sticks out, not what you want.
