I chose this design from Nanaimo to represent the Victorian Era. Correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to remember the hand pointing is similar to the style of the washroom signs from this era. Also the "Gates and Gifts" sign has flourishes on the letter forms and beautiful wrought iron decorations around it. Overall I thought these qualities were a close match to the Victorian style in the modern day.
This is my "Starbucks from the Victorian Era" design. I was trying to play off the Victorian painting styles with the way I drew the figure, but it turned out a little, okay a lot, more in my style. However, I am happy with the swirls around the logo - it just reminded me of something that would be on a Victorian logo. I did choose a serif font because in the Victorian era they used a mix of any fonts available and I assumed they would have serifs somewhere in their collections. Maybe it doesn't match perfectly, but I tried and it was fun :)

I think that the border around the logo definitely gives it a more Victorian feel. Great job! Good find on the signs too!
I think your design is the most minimal so far, but that is far from a problem! You kept it so minimal there is zero and no chance of confusing your idea. I like how you completely changed your approach by having the mermaid in a prone position. Nice approach!
