I think this is my favourite of your designs... except for two things:

 1. the way the text starts to slide under the navigation bar section.
    Very few sites do this and that makes it un-expected. And it means
    that the navigation bar is not clearly delineated from the main body.

 2. The navigation is really de-emphasised by being way down under the
    logo. To be honest, I'd prefer people to find our navigation bar
    than our logo.
