Quick Graphic Design Help

[ToddG]

For the graphic wizards among us...

A buddy of mine was forced to put down an injured owl yesterday. As a Christmas gift, I'd like to get him a t-shirt or sweatshirt with an "Owls Unlimited" logo on it sort of like Ducks Unlimited. And design ideas?

No idea but that's freaking awesome. Good hate. Time for the obligatory joke.

One day there was a man who was walking through the forest and got
lost. He wandered around for over a week, and was beginning to
starve.

He spotted a Bald Eagle who had just caught a fish and chased it,
hoping to get it to drop the fish so he could eat it. Then he saw
the bird land on a tree stump not far from him, so he picked up a
stone to toss at it--hoping the bird would be frightened and fly
away without the fish. But, weak as he was, his aim was off and he
hit the poor bird square on the head, and killing it.

"Well," he thought to himself, "no sense letting it go to waste,
if I leave it here it will just rot, and it could save my life if
I eat it."

So, he built himself a little fire--using a couple of stones and
cooked the eagle to eat. While it was cooking a ranger stumbled
upon the man, and when he saw what he was up to, he immediately
arrested him--because as you know, that is quite illegal!

The man told the ranger what had happened, and asked for a trial
so he could explain the situation to a judge.

So, the day of his trial he told the judge, "Please your Honor, it
was a life or death situation! I was lost and starving, and I
didn't mean to harm the bird--I only wanted the fish! And when I
accidentally killed it, well, I felt terrible but couldn't see any
reason to let it go to waste!"

The judge listened to the man's story and deemed him, "Not guilty,
on the grounds of extenuating circumstances."

The man was very grateful, and thanked the judge for his fairness.

Then, the judge leaned over and quietly asked the man, "Just
between you and me, what DOES a Bald Eagle taste like anyway??"

The man comtemplated this for a moment and then spoke, "Well, it's
kind of hard to explain... but, I would say somewhere between a
California Condor and a Spotted Owl."

Something like this, but with the owl logo modified to look cleaner/simpler. The owls head is shaped differently enough that you can't just use exactly the same layout. Maybe "Owls Limited" instead.


Fonts are something like: Copperplate Gothic (top) and Arial (bottom)





The transparency is okay for white backgrounds. For black or other darker backgrounds, this wouldn't work very well.

here's a freshman effort

HiggsBoson that is freaking fantastic. Capitalize the L(eader) and it's a dead ringer if you ask me. Nice work.

Here's another stab at it.

Looks like the cover of an O'Reilly programming book.

excellent work HiggsBoson!

Here's a take on it. Tried to use a similar font and to create the owl in a way that mimics the look of the duck in the original logo.
