I like that set. I really like the color of wood, and even though the grass is fake, it's a nice touch. The whole thing reminds me of a restaurant I ate at in Kuala Lumpur.

I also like the very modern Sunrise set, even though I'm not a fan of the blue-and-purple background with the Sunrise logos. A more simple orange background would work better IMHO.

BTW, what is that attractive font called?

I like the following look as well -- it's not remarkable in any way, but it reflects contemporary Japanese design and does it effectively:

I'm not a big fan of the blue backdrop, either.

As for the typeface, it looks like it's Gotham with some slight modifications.
