We like the idea behind the font in #2 as we are interested in an original, custom font - see updated brief under : Our Ideas and Additional Information. Get rid of the spheres and try primary and secondary colors for the font and border (play with this idea) - as the design needs some spark.
#33: we like what you've done with the font. it looks a little too ethnic though. we're positioning this chain as an accessible, healthy food choice that caters to the masses. we also think the wider outline (similar to #14) better fits the message.
