Entry #2 and #3 graphic is too busy for my taste. I like the simplicity of Entry #5 and #6 but would prefer the main font in the Impact range I'm thinking with the "Beat Market" font something different like in the "headerbg4.jpg" example I posted. I like the styling enhancements. you did.
#15: I like the best. I would like to see brighter orange and a darker blue and some depth, lighting or texture. Something to make it pop color wise and give the word "Grind" something a little ruffed up or something to indicate grinding if you know what I mean.
#23: I definitely like the added lighting style but definitely don't want any black. White background is preferred and I think would look great if done in the white instead of the black.
$36: Just a little too much for my taste. A little too busy I think with the contrasting fonts. I think if you combined the look of number #15 with an orange "Grind" and white background with a dark blue and shading like in #23 you would be damn close to what I had originally thought. All lower case "play" with organge border around the "p", captial G in grind and rest lowercase in orange. Add lighting, and similar type for "BEAT MARKET " in all caps as the original and I think it would nice.
