Poster Design Ideas

I have chosen do make my logo to represent the Circus the in televsion programme American Horror Story. As the show is set in the 1950/60s I have looked up and found some examples which have that old type look, which I want my logo to resemble. 

This is a poster for 'The Famous Cole' circus, I like the style of the text used as it obvious that it is from around the 50/60s, which is perfect for my logo.

I liked the effect that this poster has with the paper ripping, releasing everyone from the circus. I thought that effect would look good if i developed it into a logo.
