Cover selection

I have 3 proposals for the cover of an event guide I'm working on.
Can I get some feedback from you good folk on them please? Just to get the general feeling.

Indeed it is guys. Well spotted. What a holy fucking shoutfest I'd have done if that got printed. Cheers.

Boss went for No.3 also. Nobody seems to like my curtains LOL

Hard to tell on the jpeg.. But might be worth looking at the dropshadow on the the red speach-bubble logo.

Simply to sort it so you can just about make out the white keyline across the top. imo anyway.

Could even play with a VERY slight photoshop emboss to make a 'sticker' edge. but watch out for it getting cheesey.

That speech bubble is not getting many positive comments so I think I'm going to ditch it altogether from the cover. Thanks for the fresh pair of eyes and pointers, Do Gooder.

Balloons/bubbles/round thingy-me-jigs don't look quite right to me... apart from not quite being recognisable as objects they're a bit too transparent IMO.

Made a few changes to the 3rd one. I'm not sure if something is missing (I removed the red speech bubble) or if I'm staring at it too long.
