Thanks for the feedback to my comments. It's good to know things aren't finalized -  I realized I'm just jumping in the process.

It's great to have your input!

I'm happy to explore some more secondary colors, and I previously made an attachment trying out different visual motif colors, but am not sure if you saw it. I'm attaching it to this email again. I realize that the reason I prefer the visual motifs within a shape is because it works as a pattern more than a random addition.

We certainly need to better define how the motifs should be used, and there is some inconsistency: in the examples, the triangles are being used in a couple of different ways. I think that they're more successful when used as a repeating background, as in the website badges [1].

Your designs look good. I think the main thing is how they will perform in practice. There are a few sets of example designs in the marketing repository, such as the one that I linked to below. Would you be able to do a couple of examples, to show how they might look? SVGs are available [2].
