#81 is nice but too simple, since so many don't understand what a spire is... but I really like #87. I probably won't have time to rank stuff until Monday evening, but you should be ranked somewhere toward the top with #87. good work.
Mirror, I liked #87 a bit less when I looked at it today for the second time. it may be too complicated of a "structure" in the spire illustration. However, this design shows me you've got a good eye for illustration. I'd love to see more.
this combination places the imagery into context quite well with a figure next to the building. the curve of the street curb also echos through the curves in the text creating a pattern that compliments itself (the visual) fairly well and triggers the viewers imagination - #147 & #143
