artwork Logo input needed-Pure Evil products

[salsalady]

Hey gang,
 
We're working on revamping the Pure Evil product line, new website, and updated look. 
 
The existing Pure Evil capsaicin drops have black on red labels like #1, and I've used the same black on red for promotional materials in the past.  For the new items, the labels will have yellow on black like picture #2 below.  These are the colors used on product labels. 
 
PE Logo/Label #1

PE Logo #2

 
 
I'm looking for a Logo color design to use for t-shirts, promo materials, website, and I've put together the following two designs. 
 
What do y'all think?  One of the following 2? or keep the original black-on-red even though there will be 2 design color schemes for the different products? 
 
Logo #3

 
Logo #4

Damn SL. That last one, the Yellow w Red outlined letters is poppin!!! Just catches the eye and looks evil. I vote for the bottom most.

I like #4 with red stroke as it emulates flames/heat but also stroke the bottom line or the yellows actually look different. Or are they? On a phone.

OR #4 and bottom line all white or all red.

# 3 is my Favorite. Almost has a Simspons theme, like something
Homer would pick up from the Kwik-E-mart. On the other hand, less variations of the logo might be more manageable so then I would say #2

I like #4 the best. The yellow on black really stands out, and the red outline suggests fire, and is a nice touch IMO.

#4 with .5 stroke outline in red for both-

 

[The Hot Pepper]

SL yes for some reason non-stroke makes it look like a greener yellow.

IMO you are there but lessen the stroke thickness on line 2.

 

[salsalady]

.5 stroke on the bottom line above, .25 stroke on the bottom line below
 

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Perfection.

 

[salsalady]

Even on my screen the non-outlined line looks like a different color yellow, even though they are all the same using CMYB by number. 

 

[The Hot Pepper]

How did you do that so fast lol u musta been thinking the same

 

[salsalady]

I think I need to move the bottom line just a smidge right.

-LOL- yea, the .5 stroke looked too heavy, was already working it in Adobe. 

 

[The Hot Pepper]

It's real damn close may even reduce stoke on line 2 a hair. Overall it's the one.
It's funny how the color combos play tricks w/your eyes.

 

[salsalady]

Adobe only has down to a .25 stroke.  Don't know how to get a lighter stroke than that.  I enlarged the logo x800 to about the size of a t-shirt print, and it looked good.  The next two samples are for placement of the 2nd line.  Top design is what's above, bottom design has the line skooched right 2 bumps.

Winner winner pure evil dinner

 

[salsalady]

Which One in post #14???   

 

[The Hot Pepper]

I'd go with scootch to even out placement under the last L.

Ann - I've checked it for accessibility, and it looks good, fits WCAG 2 guidelines.

  Thanks G~!  I know I can always count on you do that extra bit of checking. 
 
 
 
for giggles, I did a center/align with the 2 rows of text and it moved the bottom line way left almost touching the bottom of the P.  Just goes to show that visual balance is different than just centering everything.

#1 and #4 for sure!!!
