Logo and Banner Advice (1 Viewer)

Working on a new channel and AI had come up with these ideas:

But I wasn't quite feeling them. The first one looks cool, but overly busy. And I wasn't sold on incorporating actual gaming elements into the logo. While primarily my content will likely be poker related, by using "gaming" I can pivot into video games, casino games, etc. It gives the channel the ability to reach a wider audience by being more open-ended, allowing for more collaborations and not being just pigeonholed into PLO or Poker content.

I made some simpler designs that I felt work, but would love feedback (note the banner image is designed that way to ensure when viewed on mobile devices the logo isn't cut off on youtube

Be mindful of how closely you want your logo/graphics to linked to Rush Limbaugh imagery. Good thing or bad? That's your branding decision. But that was one of the first things I thought of when I saw your artwork. Limbaugh made his "Golden EIB (excellence in broadcasting) Microphone" a central part of his brand.

Many of us are too young to remember. Obviously not me -=- DrStrange

This is what I found, but I doubt it'll be a huge issue, appreciate the feedback either way
