I think launching with the current design is best due to time constraints ... but if there were time to incorporate the curvy panels from your design #1 I'd go for that over the 3D shaded panels in the existing design. Perhaps I'm biased from staring at the greenpeace curvy panels for three months while contracting with them, though.
What do folks think about that? I think the curved borders are just more aesthetically pleasing while adding a bit to the whitespace that separates elements.
The logo from #1 - no way, sorry! :) In fact I don't care much for that top bar at all.
I kind of like Alex peeking out from the Big O in #2 but I also have no problem with our current logo.
It's great to see folks putting forward ideas for design!
