Hi Marie. Thanks for sending through the first designs. I prefer #2 over #1 at this stage for a couple of reasons. I like fewer colours, and even think that #2 would be better if the yellow was replaced with grey (I don't mind a dark grey and a light grey, together with the blue).
I also prefer the layout of #2, where there is an image to the left of the text. I'm not sure I like either of the images really, but I think this is going to be the hardest thing for me to find something I like.
I like the three lines of text more than just two lines, as it means some of it can be larger and easier to read. I wonder if more lines might be even better, just so the smallest lines could be a slightly larger font size. Alternatively, do you think it might be an option to have three elements to the design all shown horizontally - 1. the image, 2. the company name and 3. the tag line, rather than just the image beside all the text?
