I think because of the t’s + 1.. that change to the A doesnt really do that much. I think top one if cleaner

@jsiggy to prove you how right you are, this is my favorite proposal for this project (and rejected by the client).

Clients never love the best things ! Yes this one is the best.

Straight A ftw

First one 👌🏼

I actually like the 2nd one because without the cross bar in A the logo just seems much cleaner without distractions. Also meaning the ascenders part in the “t” and “1” are standing out more. Also the counter space / hole in “d” is mirroring the now empty space in “A”.

Top version as it's balanced. The 1 has to be distinguished as the "i" and without and "e" understand what the word is. The A is another thing to decipher if you go with V2. Keep it simple and a good clean read with V1. Nice work.
