#2How about one in-between? The 'b' is a bit too obscured in the alternate design but I prefer it overall.

#3The first one. It's simple and easier to draw.

#4Personally I think it looks blurry and has too many colours.
Maybe use the second one with the b a little bit further out from under the Q and then make bix all the same colour.

#5I'm not sure if I can put the b somewhere in between the two logos, as that would introduce an ugly white space between the Q and the b.
By the way, does the Q look like a chat bubble to you at all?

#6Neither. The logo should have a one or two points of flare (color, special shape, etc...).
The basic logo design is good, but it looks like you then turned on every photoshop effect (gradient, color overlay, bezel, etc...).
Less is more.

#7Without knowing what the product is it's hard to tell. Typographically the first seems better but it's marginal.
I can gleam that it might be something to do with communication as the Q looks like a speech bubble but it also looks like a penguin looking down (centre hole of the Q is it's eye).
In general I would say they look garish and amateurish.
Having said that, they are fine, get on with making the product, I'm sure you've got more important things to cover.

It does. Could probably make it a little more clear by having the tail of the q a bit more curved, but it's clear enough now I think.
I'm not sure I like the contrast between the fat outline on the Q and the outline-less rest. The shadow looks a bit too pronounced to me.
Overall I like the top one best, though I'd try a few in-betweens, because I like the idea of the bottom one, I just think that one obscures the b too much.
