These are both very good but I'd go with 44 for the simple fact that the caterpillar in 47 is looking <i>at</i> you, which is awkward.<p>I recently asked HN to help with a submission for my upcoming project (<a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1059075" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1059075</a>). I used CrowdSpring and paid $200+$30 for the contest. I got a lot more submissions than you did with 99designs for $150, but it looks like your submissions were in general a lot better quality than the ones I received on CrowdSpring. If I need to get a logo designed in the future, 99designs seems like a good alternative.
