1. First thing you want to do is make a new document. Go to file>new and make a 400x150 pixel.
2. now, Use Jashin's Brush set and make a background. To make a good background, Fill in the background with black and choose a white brush color. Choose a brush from the set and paint it anywhere, than make a new layer every-time you use a new brush. (layer>new>layer) and fill it in on the blank spots. When you are done, it will look something like this,

4. Now you have to make a new brightness/contrast layer. (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Brightness/contrast.)
5. And Turn Up the Hue to +4 and the brightness -4. When you are done it should look something like this,

14. Now, to make a grunge sig everything must be the same tone, in grunge sigs the tone is sharp. So we will adjust the sharpness of the render. So click on the render layer and go (Filter>Sharpen>Sharpen.) and do this twice. And set the opacity of the render to 65%
15. Now We Will Make The Render Look Nicer. We will add a pretty border. First, We click on the background layer and do (ctrl+a) or (Select>All) than go to (edit>stroke) And Click these settings.
