That big ol' triangle is just begging for a rolled rag or plastic bag texture too...

I personally just plain don't like the secondary font...I would go with like euro extended or something.....

I agree with Joe and Barry. Secondary type font is too tight, and I just plain don't like it either. Experiment with another one and see how it looks.

I like the secondary font but agree with Joe - open the kerning and change the ampersand. Vic G

Funny, everybody is picking on the secondary copy , I find the kerning on the main copy way too tight. Squint your eyes and the negative space between the L&O and the P&E really hits hard, it's there between the F&L but the softer contrast on the background hides it.Those letter combinations should determine how tight the kerning is not the straight sided letters.I'm also bothered by the lack of negative space in the centers of the letters, I'd thin the stroke a little. I'd also thin the outline to rid it of those solid blocks in the E&F&C.
The triangle needs to be wider and dropped down about halfway of the main copy.
