What to look for

"Which of these feels most like walking into your office?"

Tone

Does it sound like how you'd greet a new client? Warm & open, considered & senior, or distinct & bold?

Audience fit

Imagine a Cabinet minister, an enterprise partner, and a community leader each opening it — does it serve all three?

Longevity

Which direction still feels right in five years — not just the one that excites today?
