Mad About MangaveLogo Design Contest

1) Can we do thicker font
2) We want to reposition the words, with "Mad About" on the top half of the circle, and "Mangave" on the bottom half to make it easier to read.
3) Reduce the kerning/spacing of the text.
4) Can we see this design inverted with a white background and blue stroke?

We like the emblem design (The outside), but this might be too plain for us. The inside should be more simple (see other design)

We like your direction. The inside section of the graphic is especially good--however the outside has perhaps too many leaves and too narrow. Here's a photo of what we're thinking of: https://www.waltersgardens.com/variety.php?ID=MAGLL
Could it be more like this?
