The logo on the first one doesn't seem to have any relation or alignment to any other element on the cover, except perhaps being centered. But I can skim the image and immediately understand that "Honor & Intrigue" is, indeed, the title.
The second image is just...I understand why people like it, but it just looks like a chaotic mess to me. Too much stuff criss-crossing. The lack of an "A" before "Swashbuckling RPG" is also annoying.
