just copy pasted it out of a screen but it hits my point well enough...
bastet a bit higher than on this example.
other charpic/font/backround/border is no problem...
just to show the basic layout...
//edit.. ah and... dont use too tiny bastet and gate... use the space you have

There's nothing else I can add to the signature except doing the repositioning, at which point it will look just like yours, since you are so zealous about the positions.
