Hey Brendan,
Regarding # 8, Like the design and the font type. Still, I think I would prefer the logo a little more condensed. The type, with the design on top, takes up a large amount of blank space. Maybe a variation with a smaller design to the side of the type, or the design somehow incorporated into the type. Also, while I like it, woud prefer the design's colors to be more subtle with less contrast.
Good Job.
