Nice direction. Any chance #111 or #112 could be semi-3d by less gradient. Not sure if that makes sense. Almost like the colors are more flat (less-gradient), but it is still 3d. Hope that makes sense. :)
#216- like the emblem, not sure what it is about the text we don't like. Perhaps it's the size, kerning, leading? Maybe the color of "Detroit" text can be the darker-blue shadow in the emblem?
