CBL logo one color

This is the one color monotype - none of these are vectored yet, so please excuse the bitmap roughness. This is a rock cover band which plays parties and events - they wanted a logo that is clean and emphasizes their reliability and professionalism; almost corporate. Not usually what I'm asked to emphasize for a rock band logo.

Please view the logo variations which follow and comment on what you think is good or bad with the logo.
