We all called them floppies or just disks! 💾
Once our school librarian (circa 2000) refereed to them as "diskettes" and we had no idea what she meant.

The 2nd one is more saturated so I think it "pops" more. However, I also like the pattern behind the text on the first one too. Maybe combine them?
