Design practice

Darrell Viner revisited.

After Chris' suggestion of having the exhbition being a tribute, I got straight back to designing and revisited the logo.

I don't wish to steer too far away from the previous logo as I have a pretty solid design.

I first started with adding the words "A tribute" to the initial logo. In this instance, I used lowercase for subtlety but I don't think it works well.

I then tried a different layout for the logo but also decided to keep "A TRIBUTE" uppercase for consistency.  This layout doesn't work as it makes Darrell Viner look like a company logo and doesn't suit an exhbition. I kept with the same typeface (brandon grotesque) for the Tribute type but not too sure if it fits.

I decided to keep with the center aligned layout. I added a line under Tribute too fit with his work but it looks uncessacery.

Removing the 'A' from tribute type. I've also changed the typeface from Brandon Grotesque to 'Apercu'

Not quite sure which works best...

Visually, I prefer the top one but I feel the second logo will be more appropriate.
