Janek, I personally prefer the first one, then the third one, then the second one. The third looks like it's twisting in on itself, but still feels more balanced than the second one, which is tilted too far to the right. I find the first more balanced than the third, but only very slightly. My 2¢

I prefer the second one. In the first, the space outlined by the top loop of the clef and the top line of the staff is too large, and the third just appears too 'grainy' to me for some reason (although I find it hard to spot any differences between it and the second). Brent. On 6 July 2011
