in both instances, I think both designs would do better if the yellow background had no texture at all, and was simply flat. Me thinks it would help put it in a better perspective, placing it behind the lettering a little better, easier for the eyes i think. Not sure tho, just a thought. If I had to choose between the two of them, I'd pick the one on the left. Seems to give off a much more focussed air of itself, stronger sense of what Digital Alchemy is, while the one on the right doesn't convey anything to me, personally that is. Seems too busy with itself and its innards or something along the lines of that. Also, the rhyming shapes in the first one (left) are probably somethings that's thouroughly pleasing my eye right now. great stuff man
