Prefer #302. Can't you make the CLARITY text be less heavy - thick. Also can we separate each letter with a mark, dot, asteisk type graphic so it reads like an acronym and word at the same time.
Could you rotate the graphic so it doesn't look as if it is standing on a person's head. Your designs are great. We'll be making a decision Monday or Tuesday of the coming week. You could simply flip the graphic so the blue is on top.
