Nice to see the process in action, the comment about the fonts is very valid, fonts that are ambiguous can detract from the message. I have found that good clean simple fonts work best.
Well done on the abnners

yes thats part of designing things I like to try out multiple ways to see what looks. Another thing I learned from playing around with designs is you have to see how they look big and small if the details look good small its good if not it isnt :)
