I'm surprised that it's so easy to read the words in order with this layout - my eye went to the bottom left first as soon as I looked at it.
I really like this one in its shape and simplicity of line, but the message here is more readily parsed as a universal statement of truth, whereas the earlier version made me feel off-balance not just because of its shapes but because it started me thinking about my own identity... whether I know a word to name it or not, whether I'm ready to name whatever it is, things like that.

So you read it as: "Name something & it is born; words have power" ?
Interesting. I may try this again later this month, with a different arrangement, but the same words (including verbs and prepositions), to see how that changes the reading. Maybe a different font... Though the sans serif form of this one works well with the linearity.
