What do you guys think? Another option is: I should probably state that I am looking for improvements to each one in addition to saying which is better.
Without the white it's just a bit of text on a partially complete black background. What's good about that?
The first one. But match the background color exatly with the one on sythe so it blend with the background like your current
Seem to be too much like your previous ones, and I think you could change it up for the better. I would suggest getting some crack, fire or wood textures and overlaying them on the white text. Mix up some different colours and tones, black and white is really quite boring with 3d text. Chuck some fractals or bubble c4ds for some different effects. Give it some character, it seems too bland and flat!
