    version 1 has the strongest combination/use of typography. Having strong typography is, in my opinion, really important on a resume – as it is, simply, type.

    The language needs a lot of work. "neato" and "sweet" are not only silly, but why use adjectives to describe your own work? A bit like patting yourself on the back – let your work speak to your talent.

    Also, I do favor the use of your name, large, on the resume – however, you likely don't need your name 3 or 4 times on the resume.

    get a return address on that envelope. point size is debatable, the US postal service will put up with a lot – but if its going out of the country – don't fuck around as only you will lose out.

    My final piece of advice is to DROP the personal logo. I don't understand these personal logos – and honestly, its not that strong. Most of these end up being sad excuses for logos that aren't even necessary.
