Game logo preference

Hey all so I'm looking for some opinions on which logo design to use of the following:

The game these logos are for is a sci-fi game, who's title (chasing light) comes from the scientific belief that nothing can go faster than the speed of light but very, very close (sorry FTL drive lovers, that's the real truth of the science). The game will feature images similar to the following (granted they will be textured and rendered):

More images and a slightly better description of the game WIP can be found here


Please answer with with either: first, second, or third. It is up to you if you wish to explain why.

The third one is the best out of the three, as it is the most visually simple and direct. Simpler is almost always better. I still don't think it's quite there yet, however. For a game that's focused on the cold hard facts of science with lots of practical ships and environments, the existing logos are awfully loose and organic. Personally, I'd design a logo that is mechanical and precise. The third logo is headed in that direction in terms of its balance.

As a tip, you'll want to design your logo in black and white only, and only move on to color after you've found something that works in monotone.
