The second design is too zoomed in, I think there is too much black space in the positive S and too much white space in the negative S. There is also an anomaly on the bottom right that is distracting and taking away the attention.
The second column needs a bit more work because it does not strike a good balance between the white and black. Moreover, the black has more weight for the positive version and the white has more weight for the negative version. You can fix this by zooming a bit and strike a balance.
