@Kishan Patel - Really? It just doesn't quite sit right with me... but it might just be me looking at it too long. Thanks so much! P.S. love your work.
This is beautiful, but I agree with you! I think it has to do with the weight of the spine. If you just beef up the spine of the S a little it will carry more weight in that area and draw less attention to it. It's just a little lighter than the p, as well as the h, l, r, t, which I think makes it seem off. P.S. my favorite letters are the t and the r. So rad!
Does the 'S' absolutely need the loop? If so, maybe use the loop embellishment under 'Spirit' as a guide. I think the shape would be more pleasing and harmonious. Good luck- it's quite beautiful thus far!
Looks good, but I agree the "S" feels a bit out of place. It's almost there, though. Maybe mimicking the shape of the cross bar on the "t" but a hook instead of a loop, like some of your other sketches. Good stuff, @Dave Coleman.

Digging this. Don't think the S needs the little curly whip at the end though. Just keep it simple. Very nice!

Super digging this Dave... Maybe flip the tail on the S like this?

i'd just smooth the curve on that little loop down the bottom and the inside curve at the top of the S.

If it helps any, I like the bottom left from the sketches. The closed loop seems more subtle and cohesive with the words. Beautiful work!

Holy Spirit - Fixed

Fixed up the 'S', much happier with it now. Also tweaked the rest. Any more suggestions before it goes to the client?
Thanks @Nick Winters, @Anton Warkentin, @Rowan Hamilton, @Derrick Kempf, @Danielle Evans, @Amber Asay & @Greg Thomas for the helpful advice.
