I like number 5 the best.

It is the only one that easily gets the point across that you are running for New Hampshire House. People don't like to read, so make the most important parts stand out - your name and what you are running for, and that is what the 5th one does.

It is simple and attractive, plus it reminds me a bit of Ron Paul/Rand Pauls logo.

Voters already know what state they're in. #1 doesn't say what position he's running for. I don't understand the face thing. It looks like Pennsylvania, as Snew has already pointed out. #2 looks like it was done in MS Paint. The European Union symbol doesn't help. #3 plays it safe, may be too wordy. #4 has a bad font, way too wordy, misspelling. #5 has a weird font and unnecessarily says "New Hampshire". Overall, #3>#5>#1>#2>#4. It's great that many people tried their hand at this. Practice makes perfect.
 
Here's #5:

#1 works because of visibility; it would need re-tooling for a yardsign. With work it could be made easy for locals the 'get' the silhouette without being told what it was. You would want the text "KELLOGG for STATE HOUSE" to maximize the impact of the visibility you get from the inverse background.

Another consideration is that a white background yardsign disappears if there is snow on the ground.
 
#3 is also superior because it doesn't use gradients. When it comes down to certain kind of printing that requires plates, the number of colors gets very expensive. So #3 is only TWO COLORS; lending itself to things like hats, shirts, coffee cups, pens, business cards, yard signs and everything else a lot easier and cheaper.
 
What I would probably do is make something like post 25 your yard sign, and then the original #3 your campaign logo. Develop a commonality between them, like the font and the star O, so people have this fluid connection between all campaign media.

Additional option from Skyroad

As a yardsign, the original script 'for' actually worked pretty well. Also, unless you are gaining something from it, for a yardsign the fewer colors the better in terms of cost. I'm one to talk with 2 and 3 color yardsigns lol; but the Old Man graphic works well enough by itself on a subliminal level I think, so instead of pulling attention from that, keep the all-white text.

And this is up to you two, but it was my experience that first names in this area were entirely superfluous. Ron Paul used first and last name because his name was so small he needed the text to fill a sign.
 
My vote would definitely go to #3. Clean and concise. Plus I like the white star inside the blue O.

I'm not from NH so I'm not sure how recognizable the image in #1 would be for voters and could end up in some confusion.
 
Well, it's pretty big to the people of NH:

Although it is good to have roots, reminding people of something sad and tragic as a political campaign is a gamble.
