I have a logo (the swan) and need to choose a font to accompany it. I would like to make two logos:
One where the company name is under the swan logo.
Another one where the swan size is similar to the font size.
I am not sure if the chosen typeface is a good decision. I am afraid the typeface is not readable enough.
Your swan logo and the typeface only match in one aspect and that is featuring round forms. Your logo is simplistic, while your typeface is ornamental. Your logo features flat solid shapes, while your typeface is more delicate, having a lot of thin strokes. Your logo expresses calmness, while your typeface expresses motion. Your logo says constructed, while your typeface says handdrawn.
What you need is probably a sans-serif display typeface with rounded features that comes with a good bolder variant (to have flat, solid shapes), that is not too prominent. None of these are solid requirements, but such a typeface is most likely to fulfil your needs. Just to exemplify this, here is your logo done with a fake-bold Sofadi One:
Mind that this is just the result of a quick search and certainly not the best choice. You can probably find something that is similar with a true bold style, less straight F, b, and i, and a more calm n, s, and e.
