I am not for Papyrus text. This isn't ancient Egypt, Stargate or Avatar. I really like the first two (of the imgur link) with the second (arc cut out) preferred. Clean and modern. Fonts are simple yet clear and the palate is contrasting but conservative. Only change to the first two would be to enlarge the website text by a point or two for emphasis and counterbalance.
