The design referencing a film "iris" is cleaver, and I like the colour combos / interaction between the symbol and the lettering. Perhaps seeing the design in different colours might be interesting to see as well, pastel, warm quality - blues, greys, bashes, greens.
Entry #2-
Ascetically, I really like the design. It's clean and neat. My only concern is that it may feel a little too cooperate. Not sure what to suggest I'm afraid.
I was not a massive fan of the coloured designs. Think grey's and blue's (more neutral tones).
Is there anyway you could redesign Entry #2 to try and make it more trendy, versus clean and corporate? Would be interested to see a change in stance for that logo. I do like how clean it is though.
