Is the logo for web? Letterhead? Print? Billboards?
The lettering looks too light for print or billboards.
Also, needs comma after spine.
Only in our modern, degenerate, promiscuous society.The comma is optional before & or AND during a list.
I'm all for the Oxford comma, but it doesn't look right having one in front of an ampersand.
Logo, then text.
You want the branding from the image to leave an impression before reading the text, putting the text in a better context and light with the well-done image in mind first.
I voted #1 and felt it was the strongest branding.
see, that was my thinking, too.
