Opinions sought on logo versions

Cianos

Howdy,
I'm having another look at my logo that I'm designing for a new music site I'm working on. I know the logo doesn't signify music, but I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing, and it does relate to the feel and function of the site itself. But I'm looking for opinions on which of the 3 versions people prefer, and why.

Any input appreciated



P.S the middle one hasn't been drafted properly, it looks a bit jagged in attached pic

P.P.S...I want to put a font over the logo, of the name of the site (AUDIOGRAFF.COM). I'm not decided about the font of the text yet...but it'll be some kind of Impact type of font I'm quite sure. Any advice on font would also be appreciated

You can see the logo as it is on the landing page of the site here

Cheers

3rd one is great.

I like the third one too.

I think it has just about the right amount of complexity, and the symmetry is more well defined... the four little divisions in the center diamond/square make it easier to resolve visually IMO... it flows better from the inside/outside than the others, like you're continuing the lines more logically or something.

hey! nice work.
i think either 2 or 3, definetly.
3 is a better version of one, it is more dynamic. 2 is great aswell but i think the thicker lines in the third version give it a bit more interest!
Very nice again, did you do these in illustrator?

Number 3.

Although things could change when you put lettering over it. The lines in number 3 add definition at the moment... they could become distracting once you put in the letters.

But as they're shown there.. it's the best for sure.

Thanks very much for the help everyone. I actually stuck with number 1 for the big version of the logo, because I thought the addition of any more lines would distract too much especially with added font. I think the important part of the logo is the effect of the arrows pushing outwards, and the added lines in the centre tended to draw the eye inwards. I reduced the thickness of the inner 'block' so it didn't look so heavy. For the small version of the logo, the font covers most of the centre anyway so it does not make that big a difference. Anyway, here is some samples to show what way the logo will be used;
