The 1st version is much better. The second version is far too busy. Here's some of my thoughts on the site:
- DO NOT INCREASE THE LOGO SIZE. Show them this video http://www.makemylogobiggercream.com/newsletter.html. I know you can't always win the battle, but keep trying. The logo is plenty big enough on this site.
- The burgundy background would be way too over powering if you made it extend the whole page.I do think you could make the background a bit classier, see this page http://rampchamp.com/. I would think about leaving the bottom half completely white, with no gradient. Then with the use of shadows pop the top of the page off the burgundy background and fade out the shadow toward the middle of the page.
- Finally, the third column looks a bit sparse and forgotten. Try adding some more simple content in there, but make sure the contact info stands out the most.
Great work so far!

Thanks Nate, good points. Client agreed to keep logo same size.
