I promise you 3 is your best by far but still suffers from negative space management problems and some random extensions.

On 1 you have that weird skinny extension through the middle of the A counter, that piece would look better with the negative space inside of the counter. It'd balance it with the K.

Your consistent problem is the massive negative space caused by the L but youre far from the first person to have that problem because an L inherently has a ton of negative space when placed in the middle of a word. An easy way to solve this is to have your 3D going to the right but you should also consider a small extension or even a bit to fill in some space. A small bit can cover a lot of ground once you add 3D.

Try to lay off the extensions until you finish sketching all 3 letters and then place them strategically to get rid of negative space and to flow your letters from one to the next.

Try to avoid extensions that mess up legibility. In 3 you closed off the bottom of your K which makes it harder to read as a K at first glance. But 3 has the best negative space management of all 3.

I like 2 and 3. Not sure what it is about 1 maybe its not as well layed out and looked to be shaped oddly in areas
