The left side is bothering me a lot.. It looks like an arm or something? I personally think it should be in front of the focal point to make it look like you are looking past it and are focused on the knight(focal). But anyways hope that helps you out some and I think you should get rid of the text and just stick with the logo, IMO.
As well for me, the left side is grabbing my attention and really bother my eyes, i would suggest trying to move that towards the back of the sig or cover it up somehow
