I absolutely LOVE the detailed comments you provided explaining your creative inspiration. Thank you.
I particularly like
#13. For some reason, #12 is not resonating with me, although I will allow my partner to weigh in. I DO, however, LIKE the contrast in the color choices used, particularly in the text treatment.
Finally, for #11, two questions: is there a "simpler" version of the logo (I like it, but it seems complex) you could create?
And, for ALL THREE: could you provide b/w so I can see how they would come across in print?
