What to fix first

Focus on the changes that matter. Keep what makes the logo work.

1

Refine the integration of gold corners for more purposeful framing or visual connection to photography.

Medium priority Medium effort

Currently, gold accents appear as simple corners; tying them more strongly to a photography or editorial motif would reinforce concept strength without much redesign.

Could enhance originality and visual narrative.
