Thank you for your entries. Regarding #8, the color scheme is OK, but the image doesn't say anything to us. It reminds us of the Olympics designs that they make for each Olympic games--sometimes they're abstract designs that don't really say anything.
Regarding #9, we like the balance of the two colors in the image but again the image doesn't say anything particularly to us. In comparison, some of the other designs say "people" in them and that's certainly part of what we're about--people teaching other people to be the leaders they can be.
