#17 is my favorite of your three designs. What would happen if the white capital C were to disappear and there was only a D and an H? Can we give "life and liberty" some more "pop?" Thanks!
#27 shows promise. I like how you accented the "life and liberty" part. Nice. Still not sure about the left edge. Appreciate your trying a new design. Also not sure about the "sparkle star." Keep at it. Thanks!
