    I like it but its very messy. I have trouble making it out but I see what you were going for. Also the text is hidden. Its too small and/or light. It took me 30 seconds to a minute to notice it even had the text but like I said its in the right direction and keep messing with it.

    this is actually pretty crazy bro, just try another text, try a heavy/bold sans serif, it goes w/ vic's style the most
    + add a pic of vic and try with some layer blend effects w it

    I agree with @CarolinaFiend adding a pic of Vic in the top left corner will probably work really well

    Edit: @young king you are really coming along. not sure how long youve been doing it but im digging the recent work.

    I still don't like this font.
    I don't know if I'm the only designer that does this, but I personally almost never use lower cases in covers, it just messes up the balance.
    As for the font itself I would suggest bolded/heavy weights of:
    Montserrathttps://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Montserrat
    Proxima nova
    Ralewayhttps://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Raleway
    Source sans prohttps://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Source+Sans+Pro
    Latohttps://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Lato
    Oswaldhttps://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Oswald
    Edit:on mobile, sorry for s-----y formatting lol

    Thanks that was helpful. take a look at the original one more time. You arent the only one. when i first started i was told to always do capital letters which i almost always follow. for this for some reason i felt i shouldnt do it but once they are all in caps it shows why it should be

    also thanks for the feedback.

    Edit: going to go with the black one. took away the shadow. liked it at first but realize it was a bad idea also.

    thanks again for the help

    This is dope, but it needs a different top font. Try spacing the letters out as well.
