I have changed the options in the poll to simplify the voting for a 'style' by removing color options. The color pallet is another question and any of the chosen designs could potentially be modified to match the color style guide once we establish it.
I have also added my version which tim asked for. It is very rough and only depicts the style. If it is chosen I will have a graphic designer actually make it correctly with the right fonts etc...
