I agree with Boud here. The font makes the logo half text half shape. And I like the movement carried by the font a lot. My big preference goes to the calligra_suite_bellow. I find the concept of mixing the organic font of calligra name with the "technical drawing" type of font for the word Suite very appealing. To my mind it fits very well with our suite: we have applications which are more directed towards the artistic type of creativity, while others are more directed towards a technical type of creativity. Both types in our suite have an intimate relationship, much more than on any other suite out there. Capturing this in the logo is a really nice idea.<br>

</div>Just fine: both markets are totally used to text-as-image -- with many Chinese companies using calligraphy for their logos and Arabic calligraphy is really famous as well.<br>

</div>That sort of mitigates your point 1) -- if it's hard to read, it becomes a shape.<br>
