I'll go ahead and contribute some feedback as well.

Layout 1's red navigation bar makes me flinch away from it, which
isn't a good reaction for a nav bar. I don't find any of the three nav
bars perfect, but right now I can't offer a good suggestion for
improving them. A color shift of some kind, probably, but I don't have
a good idea right now. Maybe I'll come up with something later.

I love the color and placement of the "Download Now" button from
layout 1: I think it's by far the best of the three. Layout 2's
"Download Now" button is too far down and doesn't get noticed until
too late in the experience, and layout 3's button is in the right
place, but its gray color is too bland and lifeless. Ideally, the
"Download Now" button should be the second thing you notice (the first
being the banner/logo), and layout 1 achieves that perfectly. The only
thing I'd change about layout 1's "Download Now" button is that
perhaps the text should be black (or a dark color, maybe dark green?)
instead of white, since right now there's insufficient contrast with
the button's light green background color.

I love the large, cutout logo from layout 2. The golden gear on a blue
background is perfect. I might tweak the title a little, perhaps move
it up to the top of the blue banner instead of the bottom, but
otherwise the banner from layout 2 is just about perfect. Add the
"Download Now" button from layout 1 and it would achieve perfection,
in my opinion.

Blue and gold as primary colors, with green and silver secondary,
would be the color scheme that seems to appeal to me the most. All of
those colors are friendly (sky, grass, coins), and none have the
"danger" connotation of that bright red I disliked from layout 1. I'd
keep the green closer to a yellow-green than a blue-green to stay away
from Django's color scheme.

Hmmm. Maybe that's the solution to the nav bar color scheme: use a
light green (leaning towards the yellow-green side), similar to layout
1's "Download Now" button color. I'm not too good at visualizing
colors in my head, so I'd have to see it to see if it works, but it
would be worth a try.

Hope this feedback helps. I'm really looking forward to seeing the new
design, whatever it ends up looking like!
