I really like the font height on #1, but think that I like the wheat integrated into the "I" like in #2 better, and like the touch of the top being the blue.
Now that I'm seeing #2 with the wheat as the "I", I'm realizing that it doesn't work well that way. The font seems just right, but it disrupts it just a bit too much. I'm wondering whether it makes sense to preserve the "I" as text, but bring the wheat element in as a break between "BREAD" and "ALIVE", in which case keeping it shorter and clearer (three tall, as in #1) with the circle in top a different color, might work.
How about pulling this style of wheat out of the "I" and, instead, into the middle of the two words? I like the circle on the top of it, though. Just not sold with it replacing the "I".
I see it differently - you were the first to use the name on the colored fields, separated by the different style of wheat (which is the style I prefer.)
I understand and respect that. Between putting the wheat between the words and your style of wheat, though, I would prefer your style of wheat with the circle over the top. Could you give a few more options of that, please?
