Excursions logo draft

“Excursions” is an independent clothing collection that launched in 1997 (XCVII=97). The concept of the brand is based around the art of lyrical sampling where short phrases of lyrics from hip-hop are selected and incorporated into graphical interpretations.

They're relaunching the brand this year and in need of a new identity. Here's some initial logos that I proposed.

Feedback is greatly appreciated.
