The background colors where to represent the color of the cloak/cape thingy.
Would love to see other ideas.
I'm kind of partial to the logo on the cloak currently in game, IMO. I take it this is a default design though.

I think the closest thing we have to an "official" logo is the one in the top-left corner of the forums (without the word discussion forums, of course.)
Of the four you've shown, although I like the blue and red, I think the red lettering shows up best on the black background.
