The effects are good. Though I think I like your old one better. The spatial balance was well done in the old one. In this case, I think having the two Samuses the same size creates a conflict in images. I think that everyone is right about the colors being better in this one, not to take anything away from the interesting use you had in your old sig. The text placement seems a little random too, it doesn't line up with anything. If I may make a humble suggestion: take the open quotation mark out of the first line and make it an object by itself, then manually place it next to the "D." This way the paragraph will line up vertically on the left side with the edges of the "d", "f", and "l". If you're going to use the quotation marks, you should also cite the quotation. To be honest though, I don't think you need either. I think it's understood that it's a quote and you don't need to call attention to it. I also believe the first "to" should be "too."
