I like Quinn's first one - he seems to have time on his hands and the requisite skills.
Could the mountains be a little less cartoonish in their angles? And while I like the tang outline, it is definitely an "in-club" depiction (as in, no one else will have a clue what that cutout represents). Have you tried with the actual tang picture in there? Is a Yellow ubiquitous enough, or are there others that would prefer a Purple, maybe with a white outline to set it off?
Just thoughts... nice job!
