If it was GTA VII Sopranos edition, then the mobster feel would make sense... but if you're going with the resurrection/fighting the dead kinda theme, then there's no reason for Italian.

There's a reason all the other ones have seperation between the logo and title. With GTA, their trademark is that logo. That's why it always stands so boldly in their imagery, with "Vice City" or "San Andreas" or whatever in a smaller and different font... the point is that the game belongs to the GTA family. To make it identifiable as GTA, stick with their current design language. That's all "branding" is, afterall... sticking with a design and running with it... BMW doesn't change their dual halo headlights for a reason.

Remove the Italian and chop it down to 5x8 and I think you'll like it better.
