I don't know much about design, so that's all I can really provide as for feedback. But I think it looks good.

Just kidding, you're fine. I just wanted to chip in on one thing I noticed- the new design took all the texture out of the flames along the bottom! I'm against this! Not only for subjective reasons either- I think the color texture in the bottom design makes it less obvious that it repeats going outward from the middle. I can't say just why that repetition strikes me as a negative... and I don't suppose it strictly is, but without the color texture it makes that bottom thing seem a little underwhelming. (Begging the question: Should it be overwhelming? Well, no, but there's times when there should be more going on, and I'm trying, with great difficulty for some reason, to explain that it seems to me that this is one of those times.) Maybe these are all subjective reasons after all.
Anyway, good luck with it all, and I hope you aren't stressing too much about it. Remember- people who give hard answers to aesthetic questions are salesmen and answer-mongers.
