CreativeAllies: Sublime 25th Anniversary Logo Design 01

I thought after seeing on the Sublime's Official Facebook page that I would give it a go.  I started to draw similar mixed ideas, adding the hibiscus flower as it originates from Long Beach, California.

Below are a few ideas of my sketches which look similar.  I am trying to see whether it looks good but I will keep doing it until I found the exact one I am looking for before I move onto the next stage.

Below are the final designs as the above two logos looked to simple and plain so I have decided to add more details in making it look more interesting rather then have it plain.  
I have submitted these final designs at CreativeAllies so the audience can vote for the best design which then will become the official 25th Anniversary Sublime logo.
