Opinions on this, please? Really looking for serious input on whether or not to include the grungelike background as well as feedback on the overall look and feel, thanks

like both, but it depends on which one best suits the branding personality. prefer the depth of the first (grungey) one

Thank you for the response, I've decided to upload the images to be easier to see for anyone else, thanks https://imgur.com/a/r4fMi

Love the designs mate, really nice. I'm torn between them, part of me loves the grunge, much easier to see on the link, looks like oil in water, love it. The flip side is the crisper finish, very clean. If I had to choose I would go grunge

Thanks very much... i’m just as torn lol

long time since i addressed and envelope but thought the address was left aligned, not right?!

True, these are only mockups of what the assets could look like, not what they will look like though

From the images on here and imgur I can't tell what the business is/what's the brand? Are they a serious company looking to appeal to professionals? If so, I'd drop the grunge background.

We did drop it thanks, it is a redesign of our branding, I was still not happy with it, so I started from scratch, here is a first-peek look at the new website I have started to design too, we are trying to head for a sleeker, fresh and clean look.

Looks much better.

But I'd rethink the tagline as you do a lot more than just build websites. According to your mockup you do graphic design and SEO as well.

Unless of course this is just a placeholder in which case ignore my comment.

We mostly do websites so generally, most expect you to be able to do graphics and seo anyway, they are more extras of what we could do, but the bulk of what we are aiming at is websites.

Im Loving your stuff. No Grundge but.

I like them both, but for corporate use, I think the one without the grunge background is better.
