Like the split colour on the text. I think it makes the text much more interesting. Also, what apeals to me about this desing as opposed to the others is that you rely more on the text, and less on a bounding box.
What we're really looking for is somethign that does something interesting with the text. We'd like it to be simple and appealing. Clean and sexy.
