Layer->New Adjustment Layer->Color Balance
Image->Image Adjustments->Curves
Image->Image Adjustments->Levels
Those 2 both have Adjustment Layer versions that can be found under Layer->New Adjustment Layer.
EDIT: And don't use renders for a while...most new guys will use them in bad ways...as in ways that take focus away from other parts of the sig, take up way too much of the sig, etc.

OH! I'm sorry then...those options are for Photoshop, you might want to go get a free trial of it over at
www.adobe.com
You'll get much better results.

The text doesnt really go with the new one.
I like the background though, and color would help. Unless you want it to be stark.

That kind of background would go GREAT with a gradient. Does GIMP have a gradient tool? If so, you should mess around with it.

Use a pixel font instead. It will look much better.
