Hey,
I have looked at A LOT of type to pair with this logo and I think I have decided on the the one that works best.
I'm not going to say which, but I'd like to see if others choose the same one I have.

I'd agree that #2 is perhaps best in terms of fitting with the style of the mark (but maybe it's really a tad too spiky); I'd think #3 is too plump. And perhaps obviously, anything [strongly] slanted would make zero sense with that mark, and a name with «balance» in it.
All that said, without knowing the context it's really impossible to say what kind of font you should pick: with a script font this seems more yoga/dance-y, whereas paired with a sans it might come across more sporty or wellness-like. Stylistic matching isn't the only dimension to consider.
I'd like #3, but I'd want the line weight in the illustration plumped up to match.
#2 is good, and does match the line weight better, but with the rigid vertical flag pole, I think the vertical straightness of #3 works better.
Small nitpick on the logo...I'd like to see the hands above not quite meet, just as the feet below don't quite close in .
My choice was #3. I do see that the line weights don't match so I may have to adjust the logo accordingly. Unless someone has a similar type to recommend that matches the weight better. I also think I will tuck the type under the bent knee and try to connect the "b" in banlance to the foot.
A bit of background. This logo is for a golf and yoga seminar company. The target demo is women aged 25+ in a higher income bracket.
Thanks for all of the imput. I will post an upadated version as soon as possible.
I like the mark plumper, for sure. There's still an inconsistency in the line quality between the mark and the type, though.
The type has a variable weight stroke. It might be interesting to incorporate that into the more prominent strokes in the mark (outer two). have the lines a little thinner than now in spots and a little thicker than now in others.
Also, IMHO, the latest lock-up has the mark too close to the type. I think there needs to be some breathing room between the two.
I'm not sure, I think it's more than stroke weight… the figure is balancing and rising up almost like a flame while the x-height region of the type is crouching around on the baseline. But really, maybe it's just me.
The bad news is I suck at scripts, and can't think of anything right now that I'd think might be a better fit. :-\
