The second one is very nice. Maybe the small text under the name could be a sans-serif, try it, it may work. The thing with the first version is that if you use an element like that, you need to make it very strong. Like that, it's only debris.
And one other thing, the gradient is too strong, it'll look awful on a digital print (business cards, print header etc.)
I like it, it'll work.
(the ratings are for the second concept)
