Very beautiful mark...I agree that this would be better served with a more complimentary typeface or maybe just customize this one...classy mark, well done :)
I dig the illustration, nicely done, but as for the typeface.. try to find something fancier and has more classic look and feel to complement the illustration, (TRAJAN PRO) maybe??
Absolutely love the style and flow of this. It has a wonderful Japanese feel to it, particularly the b&w. Keep it up! Fave and sprung!!!
