Looks Awesome….

  Here's another suggestion, as this is idea time…  Like what you have done and all the ideas….


   How about a silhouette of a fishing Kayak above the HOW logo and below the chapter writing…

  The kayak would be a side angle profile,  but MEAN…  :cwm21:

  Like Seal Team 6 Rigging looking ready to Kill….  Attack….    :smt066

Nice work!

I have a couple suggestions I feel would better unify the art in creating a "logo". Right now it seems segregated in 3 sections, top, middle and bottom. A few spacing and sizing adjustments should bring things together.

- drop one of the soldier silhouettes and increase the size of the others by 25% - 40%.
- increase the size of the HOW logo.
- keep the spacing based on the elements graphical weight.

 I am assuming this all vector?  Vendors will want an eps for print. Once complete I would also extend the branding for tshirts, spot color and B&W versions to meet the needs of all possible medias. 

These are just suggestions I feel will make a great piece of art just a bit better.  I've been an art and marketing director for almost 10 years. Again, great work!

No not vector yet. Once I go vector I'll be doing everything in house right now it's all cut and paste to get an idea of what people want then. The final version will be done in vector. I'll take your ideas to heart and apply them. I haven't done graphics since I was getting my college credits in it. I've been doing this just as a fun project to help out. I'm just enjoying working again its been fun.

Keep pestering me lol. I've got a lot going on but I need to make time for this. You and vanilla need to keep on me lol. Maybe after we hit the water Sunday I'll sit down and work on it. But just keep pestering me until we get a final Draft you and everyone like.
