I'd give it a 2/10 as well
The lack of text is actually an improvement in this sig.
As section said, the flow is weird, and it converges in the middle of the sig, creating a focal point there. The problem is, the render, i..e the thing you want to be in the focal point is too much on the right side.
I actually like the red/blue combo.
Further points, as was mentioned I'd make it smaller possibly with a smaller part of the man, but that part to be far larger. A closeup on in his head for instance. Gives much more detail.
Also the man would be better on the left, since he's lighted from the right side and it would help the flow if you kept that in mind.

My turn
It's also a bit older I know.

I'm going to say a 6/10

I like it, the light source is well done imo. Its more then just a soft, white brush. There is some depth, but I think it could be improved if you carried the orangish color on the right, across the bottom. I think that the sharpening is a tad bit over done on the orange in the middle, and creates a little war for the focal, between the moon and the color. Text placement and style is coolio

This was made a few months ago. It was fun.

8/10 but the white stroke on the right looks a bit odd

not bad, Spartan. Good that you are not stretching the image. Nice color scheme, too. THe grid needs to be more transparent, but its not horrible.6/10

Gini pig
2/10

a) AS you said yourself, it's extremely big.
b) The guinea pig with the gun is extremely low quality. It's blurry, fuzzy and seems to have gone trough a washing machine at being as ruffled as it is.
c) There's virtually no flow or lightning and the depth itself is kinda weird.
d) The text is too focal and doesn't somehow fit it.
e) the guinea pig is a superhero - it seems to just hover in the air without anything to stand on.

Admiral
5/10
It's one of your sigs I've never been too fond of.
While I like the flow, it seems to me just like a stock with a few low opacity vectors added to it.
Maybe if the front was more sharpened... I don't really know.

Section
8/10
That was a sig for national pride wasn't it? :P
I always liked that one. There's a very clear focal, A nice and uniform color scheme,interestingly placed text etc.
The background just feels a bit empty I guess.
