Then Paul, you can act as our fearless leader and choose what you like 
best and go with it :p

The issue is like that and depend greatly on the printing shop: The 
second ("complex") design looks much better but is harder to print, the 
first ("simple") is much printer-friendly, while is not bad looking at all.

The second part of the issue is about file formats, if the printer 
insists about a vector format and that vector format is PDF or EPS (and 
*no* SVG[*]) then the "simple" layout probably can be adjusted to look 
acceptable in that format, while for the "complex" layout, I don't think 
is possible for us to provide something else than SVG and/or raster (at 
whatever DPI values they want).

The last part is related to costs: the "complex" layout have more 
colors, will it cost more? Too much?

I think we need the choice above and the exact detail about file formats.


[*] - even if both Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw should be perfectly 
able to open SVG files.
