The question was which is rarer.Possibly one logo may be rarer than another.Over to you.

Without looking just a change of design isn't it? Patrice Holloway and the earlier ones on the plain yellow with two bars, several of them withdrawn. The multicoloured a later design.

The rarest VIP 45s in my experience are the West Coast styrene multi coloured promos. Somey of them are also double sided as opposed to having the same song on both sides.  They also look and sound much better. 

 

Here's an example, although this particular one is a same song sided demo:

Just piecing together the different pressing plants, staggered VIP appears on quite a few releases and I believe.
Looking at the Layout, gives a clue to pressing plant.

WEST COAST (Styrene Bold Text) - Expect a Multicoloured DEMO, although some releases are Black / White

STYRENE - Monarch Pressing Plant (DELTA # In Deadwax)

Looking at the Text Alignment on the Label credits, 

The"ARP" press, can usually be determined by the Fully Left or Right Justification.
