Personal Branding Revision

After receiving feedback on my designs, I realized that abstract pieces are not the best for Logo designs. My personal opinion varies; however, not specializing in design I took into considerations of the designers' recommendations and made a more block style logo.

The Banner Logo

In attempts to add a bit of shading, as if the letters are being folded like a straw wrapper, I tried for a 3-d look to this one.

That wasn't the best in my opinion, so I decided to try a gray background, but the "T" was still not right in my opinion, so I scraped the 3d attempt.
