I like number one alot-even just using the square at times or can u put the word design inside the square and leave out the rest of the text?
for number 5 i’m not sure if i like how the word design is sitting there…
Both are nice, very different looks. For the first one, would make the text smaller and more secondary to the graphic mark, closer to it as well. Right now it overwhelms the main graphic part of the logo since text is more naturally a focus, and anyway you wouldn’t want two equal elements. For the second one, the word design seems like it should be bigger and fit in better, maybe the C could stick out a little from the W and the word design could bit in between those two endpoints more exactly, with added tracking.
