I love Todd's logos wit the birds, but its still neccessary for you to take off the word "team" becasue we aren't a team. We are just South East Michigan Airsoft. You could even write somethign cheesy like "We are Airsoft" at the bottom. But don't, jsut take off team.
Todd write Gestapo's name right so he stops bitching, and nobody else get an attitude on here, becasue it ruins the soothing environment that proboards usually manages to present to me.

I do like this one for an official logo/insignia ![](http://pic5.picturetrail.com/VOL90/2128115/5612216/92764598.jpg) But to honest, I still like Gestapo's piece for a T-shirt. ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/apgecho/teamSEMIA.jpg) I was not kidding about the warm fuzzy "Slayer" ablum cover feel.

mine isn't in vector so printing would not look good.

what can i do to make it look less "penguinish"? Since your going to critique be helpfull. - use straight lines on the beak? - use straightlines alltogether? - change the colors? - what? i think in order to make it look less "penguinish" you could make the wing tips more pointy and instend of a blue black blind you could try a brown dark brown blind but its up to you

Sorry I couldn't elaborate more, I was alrady late to class. Birds of prey, hawks, eagles, falcons, whatever, usually don't have a straight line going from the tip of their beak around their heads and to their backs. There is an elevation where there eyes are because their eyes on on the front of their heads in typical predator fashon. Animals (birds included) who are more typically prey, have eyes on the sides of their head to facilitate a wide range a vision to watch its ass. To do it, they sacrifice depth perception. Animals that are typically predators (once again, birds included), have eyes on the front of their heads to they can have better depth perception to focus on their prey. To facilitate ths set up, they need to have a brow so the eyes can face forward. Check out this eagle for reference: www.northislandwildliferecoverycenter.org/Eagle%20Head%20Shot.JPGAlso, like firefox said, make the tips of the feathers on the wing more pointy, and dark brown might be a better color. A different curve underneath the eye might help too. Perhaps something more joined with the beak.

![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/apgecho/reallycoolSEMIAlogo.jpg) i think people will think of SOCOM when they think of this, and when they think of SOCOM.... they think of stealth and amaizing weapons skills and a really cool video game ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

^ exactly why i used the socom cover as a general guide to the color. I had to cool down the feeling of the logo. I figured the best way would be to add some cool color which reflects the above attributes.
Allready- i'll modify the bird a bit and see what comes out of it.

Can we merge TZ's bird With Gestapo's latest piece?

another rule of thunmb- don't use transparencies.
I know they look cool and all but, when printed- its not a pretty sight at time s belive me i know. Furthermore, i got hammered for using them in one of my designs. Even though it looks good.... don't do it.
The logo needs to be as visable as possible.
Gestapo what type face did you use for yours? or.. did you just copy cut paste a socom 2 logo from the net and to some editing? If that is so i wil trace the letters and we will have our very own CUSTOM typography,lol. ;D
- personaly i like gunplay more.... thats actually the name of the type i used in my design.
ahh........... and don't basterdize my wing. If your going to make a logo please use your own graphics. ;D
The promblem with ptting that wing behind there though is now its not visable. We need the identity to stand out just like the text. We are not trying to confuss our viewer but convey information clearly.

this logo is just for the site and stuff isn't it, not for shirts and stuff.

I think they should match. And who said we were getting shirts?
