Good stuff. I do have some suggestions for improvement...

On the Lubbock Reads one, I'm fine with the placement of the icon of the windmill, especially if there is some significance about it. What I don't like about it is that it looks like clipart just plopped down there. The book and sun are stylish and brush-strokey looking, then the windmill is very "cut and paste." If the windmill was redrawn in that brush stroke style, then it would make a better fit. I'd also make the windmill a bit larger, and put less detail in the support structure. As for the text, there appears to be a tad too much space between the L and the U. Also in the tagline, the decender (letter p) interferes with the line below it. If you have a smallcaps version of that font, that would eliminate the decenders. Otherwise, I'd eliminate that line below the tagline.

The climbing one is another good idea, but the fact that the "TT" logo is SO big and blocky, and the climbers are so much smaller in comparison, they look like an afterthought. (which of course they are, seeing as the "TT" logo already existed) Also the ropes look a little like spider webs. I'd go with just one climbing figure, and make him much larger, perhaps as large as 3/4 the height of the "TT" logo itself, and lose the ropes, or do something else with them. Maybe have a few coils of rope hanging from the figure's waist then dangling from there. Were you planning on doing some text along with the logo?
