Professional logo for large-scale drag show

Crimson & Queens

Crimson & Queens is a large-scale annual drag show at the University of Oklahoma for students, faculty, staff, and the OKC metro area that features local talent and a headliner from RuPaul's Drag Race.

The show started two years ago and has grown to an expected attendance of 3,000 people this year, and it is now the largest drag show in the state of Oklahoma. The show is one of the only opportunities to attend a drag show in the area other than 21+ bars. Drag is a performance art form that plays with the idea and expression of gender, and it's been gaining a lot of mainstream attention thanks to the popular television program RuPaul's Drag Race. Stars of Drag Race don't typically come to Oklahoma either so that adds to the excitement and popularity of the show.

Above all I want the logo to look extremely professional and as much like a realistic sign, that you might see outside of a nightclub or theatre, as possible. The logo I imagine has "CRIMSON &" in marquee letters with "QUEENS" below as a neon sign. My idea behind this is that drag is often very theatrical but mostly takes place in nightclub environments. So, I think a visual combination of those to aspects could be really cool if it worked.

I'm open to other creative ideas as long as they fit the general club/theatre promotion aesthetic and look realistic.

Also, this logo will be used for merchandise such as t-shirts, stickers, buttons, etc. So, I would love for it to work on various backgrounds/with a transparent background.
