Help Me Choose a Temlate

The 2 minute tip blog has been running for two months now with new 2 minute tips every Monday morning!

A month ago I asked you to help me decide on a logo to use for the site.  Thanks!  Now that I have some idea for the branding, I would like to move the site from wordpress.com to its own domain.

In the future I may do a unique design for the site, but since I promised myself not to spend too much time on this site… being as it is about productivity, I am going to use a free WordPress theme.

Please help me decide which one you think I should use.  You can click on the image to see a preview and vote below.

Thanks for your help!

The 2 Minute Logo Decision

The 2 Minute Blog has been going for just over a month now and I thought it would be nice to take some time to do some branding for the blog.

I wanted to have a logo that had something to do with time, so I headed over to istockphoto.com and began searching for clock icons… then I found one for an hour glass.  Ooh! an hour glass is cool becuase it gives the illusion that time is moving slower.  Egg times are three minutes and often come as hour glasses.  You can get a 2 minute task done before an egg timer runs out.  Brilliant.

So I found two concepts that I liked.  The first is a traditional hour glass icon, from my favorite icon designer, Scott Dunlap.  The second is a hour glass with wings on it.  I like this concept because it shows that time often gets away from us, and we can harness our time better by accomplishing our two minute tasks.

Please help me decide between the two logos (note: these are just concepts, not full quality):
