I think the way the second one aligns nicely on the left and right is nice and the chopped t it makes it seem more stylish and unique. I don't think the glow would be a problem if the logo was displayed smaller. I am assuming it won't be this big in use. If you are going to use it at this size then I would consider dropping the blur atleast on the "trio" and maybe keep it on the "design".

I posted an example with no glow.
