'Distinctly Southern Furniture and Accessories'

Brief from client
The client sells reproduction 18th and early 19th century furniture, of French, Spanish and Creole influence but very southern USA.
(I'll leave the company name out the text so that it doesn't appear in searches.)
This particular design is proving successful, but I can't help but think it's lacking somehow.

oy, I like it , no i love it. The description is the only thing hard to read and that bothers a little, I would go with another font but in the same manner. Bravo!
How about in lower case? It's got to be something pretty dense horizontally.
I prefer CAPS :P. I will return with a suggestion tomorrow, I am broken right now and can't think properly.
Working on Sunday evening, pah.
I agree, caps is better - I fear I might too be broken. Thanks for your help.
https://www.fontfont.com/fonts/angie/black-italic I would go with something like that, in that manner not necesarly with that font. I wasn't really working, I was drawing something for a personal project and I was working on it for all day. So I was broken in a good way. The suggestion with the font is not to be so condensed OR if condensed is a must make it less massive and more sans....
I agree it is still very hard to read the description. Can you try putting it below the Maison?
The byline is, I agree, a problem.
To me, the byline-at-the-bottom answer leaves a slightly dodgy gap in the middle (although I'm slightly over-familiar with this logo now).
stay with the original position, play with fonts a little and the problems will dissapear. ;)
Or...
Looks good - I also like the second last sample with the text below. The gap doesnt bother me... well done
I prefer a little something like this
Oooooh! I actually really like this set up- very nicely done Monito!
Thanks - sorry - I do like that idea and I would have said so sooner only a I was away from the www.
I'm wary of allowing it to look too French, but that certainly works far better.
I dig it the way you had it originally, BUT I'd totally just change the font of the subtext. Maybe just pick something elegant that doesn't have a serif- the one that appears in the original is just too skinny and tight to be readable. Other than that small change though- I think it looks fantastic. Nicely done!
Nice, but the tag line should never over power the main logo. Like the mix of type and color. I would try moving "Maison" to the right so the C and M meet, rather than the C and A. Then make the tag line as wide as the new title.
Well done!!! And MONITO give you a great idea!
Thank you all for such constructive and complimentary feedback.
