You tried to make it blend in, but you half did it. The colors might be right, but the lightning of the render sucks. The text blends in well! Shouldn't really did that with the background, it is too blurred. Add a little circle of darkness around the tag.
As much of a fan I am of CnC, I gotta disagree with almost everything you're saying.
I didn't do anything to the sprite, actually. It's just copy+pasted in there.
On my screen it sticks out like a sore thumb, but I guess it doesn't on yours 'cause my contrast settings are always wrong.
The lighting should be right. The only thing off about it is the difference in height for the lighting, so it's on top of the sprite but under the orb. But even then, since the horizon isn't parallel, it should compensate for the difference in lighting.
Next, the typo is probably the crappiest part of the tag, besides the blurring. It blends in TOO WELL with the bg. That's a BAD thing.
And I agree with the blurring. Not much I can say about that.
But the last bit: Why would I have a vignette when the lighting is from the side?
