First is obviously better, but really, let me know what's what. Overall impressions, what could be done differently, and why it either is or is not nice to look at. Appreciate it guys.
honestly I dig the second SO SO much better (minus the text) the colors flow much better IMO. The first seems like its still a WIP i'd keep playing with it some.
The first one doesn't have as much potential as the second one. One thing that annoys me about the second one is your choice of text . It doesn't fit into this tag, try using a narrow font like Arial or Century Gothic. These look more retro.
Agreed, I'm more into the second one as well. Better colours (more diversity), but not digging the text. I think you should drop the rainbow effect there and posibly go for a less antion-whore-like text. This one tends to lead the attention from the actual sig, solely to the texting. First one has an interesting bg too of course, but there's a bit too much clutter over the stock/render and it seems a bit empty compared to the second one.
