I'm typecasting myself again here, but I am super impressed with that first wordmark. (There's nothing wrong with the others but they do for some odd reason make me think "literary magazine".)
And yes, there's something satisfyingly solid about that sword. Like it's more real than the whole world around it.
KT would probably argue with me, but it hasn't been sitting right with me that JazzSwampVoodooLand is already being thought of as a dead civilization that can join the world of imaginary settings with PyramidLand, FlyingCarpetLand, MarbleColumnsLand, PirateLand, et al. So I think it's fitting that you would use your own mythicization to remind this world that New Orleans is still part of it. There's no short way back, I guess.
