Ditto - the right one says "murder on the orient express" or any other
Agatha Christie film/book.

The left one is better, but a slightly ungainly typeface.

The ascenders/descenders are all of varying lengths.
The G is more of an 8.
The spacing between J & O and e & L could be tightened - to match the tight
kerning of the rest of it - doesn¹t help much with legibility though.

Does it need to be:
the
web
Guy

I know it adds a bit more to the design, but often less is more and may look
better with it on one line.

As posted, could be quite illegible at smaller sizes.
