#17 is looking good. Could you do a version with a snow cap on the mountain and with either no gradient in the word GEAR of a subtle one like in #12 (just with black).
#44 is really good and it may be the winner. I like the gap between the mountain and the road. I like the way the road ends above the "AR". I like that the mountain is the full width.
I would like to see a couple variations on it: 1. make a version that has that mountain a little taller, as tall as the mountain in #43 2. make a version with a slightly more aggressive mountain, but with the same gap below, and width as #44 (such as the mountain in #13 or #12, but a single color)
