Thank you for your submission, Erik. This design is interesting--very different from anything I had imagined. I hadn't thought of using a shield as a background shape, but it makes me wonder about using the outline of a wolf's head instead. I was thinking of a more script-like font and also intersecting the two letters somehow. I do like the wave imagery at the bottom.
yea, for 419 bucks I better get my butt drawing. Plus I love sailing, I wish I was on the west coast. This is a fun contest, I'll work on something this weekend.
