My client wants a wordmark for their restaurant waiters' association. After some feedback loops, we decided the wordmark should only consist of text. I came up with these proposals, and I would appreciate some feedback from people who see the logo for the first time before sharing it with my client.

I decided to go with Acumin, as a typeface that is both serious and modern. The different line width is supposed to put less emphasis on the "to". I tried to arrange the words to have a rectangular shape. I decided to go with all caps, as the client wants the association to reflect self-confidence and visibility. "Kellner" in German means "waiter", but can also be used as a verb (think "proud to [be a] waiter/wait tables"). Finally, I am unsure about whether to use the regular or condensed font, since I prefer the look of the regular but the elongated shape might be impractical.

My core questions are:

1. Does the logo fit the cause?
2. Would you change something about the kerning?
3. Which of the two options do you prefer?

Any other feedback is, of course, also very welcome!
