Agreed, the second one seems far more minimal and classy. 

I really like the second one. It's got oranges and it's K.

Whoa awesome job man! Both of these banners are great. If you can just choose one of them though for the final judging from the mods It would help us out a lot. Both of them have the potential to be our header though.

second one is great, simplicity is the best
