I have been looking at this logo and #11, and I am leaning towards #11. This is because, the more I look at your design(#2), I see is more as and industrial/commercial brand of a mid-west US seed company. This logo will be the image of a collection of activities, involved with business to business dealings, and I think #11 shows that professionalism. I'm straying away from the larger blocky text. I also like the slight 3D effect of #11. If you have changes or a new logo that can meet this feedback, I'll appreciate your submissions.
