If you are engraving on metal, than you are right. The soil particles will get in the engraved part and make it easier to read with a light background. Looking at your pic, is that engraved or stamped? Stamping does not collect dirt like engraving does.

I usually use these with my more permanent additions to the garden. The aluminum tags are easy to indent with a pen and the scribbling is there forever, but they also get bent up easily in time. I've found the tags not to be permanent in this respect. But since you are making them, might I suggest a more graceful curve to the stake?
