I like that you gave me something to consider outside of the red & black color scheme. I'm 75% sure that the final choice will stay with the red, black & white - but it is not a certainty.
The gold on the white gradient background is making me think of the '70's though. Nice font choice. But too text heavy.
I like #131 - but it has the b coming before the a in the graphic portion. I see why you did this - the lines on both letters don't collide this way - but I'm not sure I like that aspect of it.
