Nice! 42 is definitely better!
I think you should focus on that one and now just try some variations as you see fit.
As an example, Diana thinks the bird is "wrong" so I asked her to provide a picture of an Albatross (quintessential globe circling bird) in flight. The URL for that is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Thalassarche_bulleri_in_flight_1_-_SE_Tasmania.jpgAnd she's also distracted by the swooshing circle line under the bird. That will also make it easier to "see" the bird, just like when you dropped the continents from the top of the globe (in green).
Lastly, I'm having a hard time picking up the sub-title ... so you should try some things to make that more readable please.
You obviously do better with only a "little help" from us so you show us what you think would be some nice builds on your Entry 42.
Going to rank this higher!
