This is awesome. The "T" is pretty much following the strokes of a standard, cursive L (especially having the two loops). The cursive T should have a hard stop and change in direction in both loops.
Since the 'O' is disconnected from the 'r', I could see the same happening with the 'T' and 'h'. May help the eye a bit. That 'Original' looks fantastic.
"Original" is spot on. I like Anthony's suggestion for the T but then that might lead to some work needed on the "h" as well.
Is it the angle of the "shot" or does the "l" in Original seem to be a bit more upright than the rest of the word? I don't know the technical way to describe it, but the other letters seem to skew/lean a bit more forward.
Thanks everyone. I agree the T looks like an L. This is the first go at it so things are rought but I will rework it.
@Shed Labs, I agree, thats a route I will try.
@Anthony, I see what you did there, and I like it.
@Joel, you know, I blacked out for a while, woke up and this was there so... not really sure.
@Rogie, Le Original! I definitely need to start vectorizing these. I think thats my least favorite part because I have to go back to a computer to do it.

New sketch modifying an element from an old one. There are some issues still (the T?) but its getting there.

Yeah, that 'T' might be at risk of 'L' confusion...but loving the look of this overall.

Maybe a smaller bottom loop? Something like this? "Original" looks rad though.

I'm digging this. I think Anthony has a great proposed solution that absolutely increases legibility without detracting stylistically. Tasty.

VERY nice! Strangely, I read it as "Le Original" — I suggest just dropping the "h"
