I don't know what you're on or what the f*** you're smoking, but you need to leave whatever it is alone.
The first version is way better, and the second version is just okay.
You've got too much going on, overpowering, too big, and too many extras.
The first version has a waaay better look & feel, perfect minimalistic look, small fonts, and color fonts in the right places, which are absolutely perfect.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
