The bad quality of the render really lets down the tag

You could easily shave off a couple pixels off the edge to make it a better quality. Lighting is kinda fake just due to the unnecessary streaking effect that's been done.

It's a really nice concept though.

Fixed...maybe.

I selected a 2 pixel border of the render and blended it with the background. I then made a copy of the render over the original and applied a Soft Light blend.

There's also a Supernova blended between the original render and the zoom blur in attempt to add some dramatic lighting, but it showed to be too bright.

Edited.

I blended in the strokes and did some re-arranging with the background blending. I then got rid of the blending of the original render and adjusted the tone of the whole image to make everything match.

How does it look?

Thanks. ^^

Render still looks horrible, could do with a rerender of it. The outline of it is VERY rough.
