    @otakatun - If you come up with a logo only I will give you half. I like your sketches. I am not sure what else you are asking.

    :D I have not seen it actually maybe it's just a coincidence on the selection. So am I on the right track? I have fun making this one. I can make another one if it's not what they are looking for.

    @zyndtel - You are on the right track, your logo is missing something, not sure what it is.

    Can't wait to see what you come up with.

    I am surprised that there aren't more entries.

    @zyndtel
    Couple things I have noticed. The "bite marks" in the "G" and the "t" are gone. Can those be added back in? The dark sleeves on the one standing can be removed as the tattoos are on the other. (But can be left off)

    @ALL
    I am surprised that there are not more entries in this "fun" contest. Am I not offering enough money? As I like what zyndtel has done, but I would like a choice.

    I've changed the font so I forgot to make the bite marks. :) Here's with the changes.

    Well, this contest was set to expire today. But due to there only being one entry I am going to extend the deadline until Thursday. Hopefully making this extension will allow for a couple more designers to enter and make it a contest.

    I hope to see some additional entries.

    No offense zyndtel
