Alright, I'll finally chime in on this, lol.
I do like all three, but Element in my opinion just has way way too much white
going on. I can see where Relevant is too dark, but I do like the colors of it.
The same goes for Element on the colors thought. Earthblog has a bit of too
much white going on as well. If we use Earthblog, I'd recommend not using the
one that has the tan and green color scheme. It looks a little nauseating on
the eyes. Relevant would work okay with the green scheme. I say Element looks
best as the Developer Pack Bonus.
I rank/vote them in this order:
1-Relevant
2-Earthblog
3-Element

They are all pretty good and would map well to our old website and the
Mothership Freegeek site if needed. I'm a little concerned about the
requirement of Adobe Fireworks to modify images and colors in the Joomla Shack
templates.
I would rank them as follows:
relevant
earthblog
element
