First, start off with a 500 x 126 canvas.

Press ‘D’ on your keyboard to reset the foreground and background colors.
Fill the canvas with black.
Press: Ctrl + Shift + N to make a new layer.
Press ‘X’ on your keyboard to switch the foreground and background colors.
Now, select “brush” and change the brush to ‘fl2.png’ and change the Master Diameter to 453 px. (Brushes are included in the ZIP file which includes the PSD also at the end of tutorial.)

Now, apply the brush onto the canvas where ever you like or apply it similar to mine:

Now, duplicate the layer by pressing: Ctrl + J
Make another new layer by pressing: Ctrl + Shift + N
Select the brush tool but change the brush to “Soft Mechanical 100 Pixels”

Now, select the foreground color as: 00ccff which is a light blue.
Apply the brush onto the canvas so it is on top of the brush we applied earlier. Look at the image below for more clarification.

When you are done, change the blending mode to ‘Color’.

Your sig should now look something similar to this:

Make a new layer by pressing: Ctrl + Shift + N
Press ‘D’ on your keyboard to reset the foreground and background colors.
Go to Filter > Render > Clouds
Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and set the radius at 14.

Then, change the blending mode to ‘Vivid Light’

Your sig should now look similar to this:

You are almost done. Now, time for some text to go along with your sig.
Select the Text Tool and write your text. I will be using ‘Benox’. Add any layer style(s) on your text and you are done!
This is my final result:

Hope you enjoyed the tutorial and found it helpful. I will be attaching the PSD so you can see more of how I made the sig.
