Vote for a Banner and Win

I recently attended a Business of Crafts workshop where we discussed several things like, Logos, branding, advertising, PR etc. I got some input that the Font on my Banner/cards etc. didn't speak much about the intricate/detailed/Bollywood/Indian look of my work. My work can be seen at http://creativewithclay.etsy.com

So I am taking a shot of changing the Font and I need your help. The first one is the one I already had and the other two are the new variations. If you can vote which one you think represents my work well and why, I would really appreciate it. You can Vote for the first one too, if that is what you think works the best.

Oil Vinegar Bottles ready to hit the Dance Floor

Oh yes they are ready! I am thankful to the customer who put this idea in my head. She said, I have your butter dish, I have your salt pepper shakers, I have your mugs and bowls and I need some thing more for the kitchen.
I decided to make Oil/Vinegar bottles but wasn't sure what shape/design or how would I incorporate my style to them. Sometimes you just have to try out things to see how they transform.
I made a new die for my extruder and manipulated the clay as it came out. And just like that I knew where this was going.
I tapered the tops to give them a more elegant look and the decoration just empahized the curves and flow of the shape emulating the look of embroidered fabric wrapped around a body.



And I just couldn't decorate one side... they have a different pattern on both sides. The textured slip pattern also helps in getting a good grip on the bottle while cooking.

I like how they came out and would like to read your comments. Getting input on new work is really appreciated. Thanks
