I like both of your ideas ....
fyi ..... STAGE 72 is a small elegant, recreation of a 1930's Movie Palace Theater.
If you look at the original jpg photo that I attached ... you can see our beautifully designed stage ...
I think taking your stage idea and making it look more like our actual stage would be very interesting.
Also, lets put STAGE 72 on one line ...on the top
and then project Step Into The Unexpected - centered on the curtain
We need to maximize the space for the words .... while keeping the visual artwork.
Can we make it bigger without over doing it?
What do you think? - Rick
