Venue font is really small

just to establish

were it is, but its not

necessarily important

There is a dancing man in the font to show an iconic move

‘Icon’ is in black horizontally not to prominent in a ‘Hollywood movie’ style font to emphasise how iconic

he is

Title is bold and big – in

white to stand out above the

still white so it can be

followed by the title
