the punisher shit is awful.  not shitting on your talent x-6 but it’s just wrong for the board.  trying too hard to be edgy.  dickbutt is more our speed. 

Dickbutt definitely more our speed, but probably NWS.  We're more laid back/National Lampoon-type of stuff than angry teens.  I'm not saying the punisher thing is only angry teens (and it's very well-drawn), but that's what it would come across as.

It's not hard to draw a cow/bull, as shown in this image:

No worries. I've expressed my doubts as well. I'll do that more cartoony one and see if people like it. I'm not really emotionally invested in it one way or another. Being a creative for a couple decades disabuses you of the notion that you have to have you heart tied to any one thing.

@Patricio Swayze requested the Danzig icon be reconfigured as a possible brand in the Tapa thread. I've worked on it a little today and came up with the below. Thoughts? I can also look at making banners of this or other elements if there is a need.

To get rid of that black fringing around the picture, set the layer's opacity setting to "Lighten".

I'm using GIMP for the first time to develop this out and there is a bit of a learning curve. Used to PS but dont have it handy on my work computer. I'll do more refining but didn't want to go all out until I know these are actually going to be useful. 

Thanks for the tip though.

GIMP is a good program. It did take some getting used to, at least for me.

Somebody posted a picture of an actual, angry bull. I kind of liked that. Maybe a surlster can snap a picture of his bull that we could use.

Another Tom Lea work that could be integrated into a banner or something. It was commissioned by the government during the New Deal so I think it's public domain.

Take the black longhorn and make him burnt orange and I think we may have something.

As much as I love thujone's logo proposal, I don't think my employer would like it on my desktop too much

I'm not a Longhorn but this is great

Copyrighted, so license fee would have to be paid, but this is one surly fucking horn:

Looks pretty damn good. I sent you a PM. I didn’t necessarily think it should be for this site, I more wanted it for a shirt. Had thought about it years ago but kept putting it off.

I was checking old dm's before I quit shag and there were several guys that wanted to make shirts out of my avatar but never heard any one actually do it.

Here's an image that might be useful to work from. Horns need lengthening, could use some orange tint, maybe some "snort" coming out of the nose, a pair of Oakley's. But it's got a good Surly quality about it. Just don't tell anyone in Durham where it came from.

Just an early preview. Needs a lot more work with fonts, sizing, placing, colors, exposure, etc..

That looks outstanding, but I think "Surly Horns" probably needs to be incorporated into the graphic instead of off to a side.  If it's part of the graphic, it can be rendered much more dramatically.

 

Agreed, but it’s a good fuckin start.

I’m doing a sketch of that graphic. I’ll finish it up when I get back home from this vacation.

I’ve communicated with Xminus6 and informed him that I had a few working ideas and illustrations but I’ve been sick as a dog since that correspondence. I’ll try to get them finished out a bit from the pencils either tonight or tomorrow. Great work, everyone.

Is that an excuse? Put your white hat on and man up.

Here's a pass.

SurlyHornLogo.jpg?raw=1

Put the “surl” to the left of the logo and the “horns” to the right of the logo. Let the logo be the “Y” in surlyhorns
