Thins up the lines of the type a bit, doesn't it... I suppose we could redraw a custom, thinner version, if we want to explore something closer to your original sketch.
I love the thinner lines of this version however, I love the placement of the last. It's edgy, leads your eye out of the circle and it's not centered... A popular choice is centered circle.
Hey Dan! Love the sketch and to see the logo coming along. I'm just gonna throw some ideas in there for fun.
1) What about trying to make the black circle look like an old movie film with some dark grey shape in here, just reallllyy light.
Anyway that was the speaking and giving idea as typing thing. But I would say like some other comment too: thinner line, and I would maybe add some more spacing between the word "Film"?
Thanks Kevin! The project relates to still photography, not motion, so that probably isn't a good direction to head (but solely because of the type of "film" we're referring to). We're going to play with some thinner type and different spacing next, right after posting a few more revisions on this direction :)
A few minor positioning adjustments to both previous versions.
The proportions are much better between "Neue" and the circle in both instances, though we haven't yet addressed the issue of line weight and size of "FILM" — will be playing with that later, after yet another rebound coming next with another approach to formatting the elements.

Illustrator CS5 has that new line weight variation tool that might be able to help. I'm still on CS4 so I can't test it out. :(

Two alternate directions I'm exploring briefly — I'm sorta kinda really digging the bottom proportions... sorta kinda...
