I like the flow and colour palette of #1. The piece is more 2D almost vector like to me, but I think this makes it look striking and bold. Not a huge fan of the text, but I like the fact that the artist tried something different with it.
Hmm...this was actually a tough choice for me. All three have their own distinctive elements going on and I constantly changed my mind. 
My immediate thought was that the 3rd one is the best composed signature, though it's chiefly because I'm very accustomed to its style and how the border is used. Yet I don't feel the centrepiece for it - this sci-fi robot/Arkham Knight-like thing - fits against this ominous background of some woods. It certainly projects a menacing result, but the guy looks lost. It's a wee bit jarring.
I gravitated towards the 1st one in the end as I feel it's the most fitting use of the pre-rendered character. It's taken me a considerably long gaze to decide, but it's comfortably the most striking one. As per usual, I will have to also say that the choice of text here is a little unfortunate in my opinion. I would also like to give an honourable mention to the 2nd entry and while I'm not a fan of the thick top-bottom white border bars, it's an interesting idea to move the layers around in a way that the guy now "pops out", which adds a unique kind of 3D-esque depth to the piece.
All brilliant entries, everyone.
