OK, me first. ;) And sorry in advance for me being too hard.

   - I don't like that "wave" motive on "D" and "B".
   - Simple idea on "A" and "C" looks fine for me. Except those aubergine
   icons on "C". They just don't have a cover of another aubergine anything. ;)
   - On concept "E" on the other hand the aubergine looks nice. And I mean
   both icons and that stripe on the top of the page. ... well maybe that it's
   a bit empty (stripe) but it's not a big deal.
   - And finally "F" which is with its green WAY out of line. (Wrong link by
   the way).
