Entry #9. I really like the figure enveloped in the circle and the little shadow that is created underneath. For the name I think I would rather have each word be a different color or to have them fade in to each other in the center. I have a thing about things looking kinda symmetrical. I think I would also prefer that "your" be bolded in the same grey color as the rest of the sentence. I also really like a font that is a little more swirly, like in entry #7.
Entry #10. I like the overall feel of what you're doing, but I don't really care for the blue and orange combination.
