    Yes, totally. My little Gentile/Nagl graphic was meant to be funny.

    Is that a Warhammer 40K mech wearing a Hello Kitty dress? I wonder what the rest of his army looks like...

    Looks like a converted Space Marine Dreadnought to me.

    Default Rough draft

    The text banners, line type, and coloring and fill need some work on this draft.

    Yet, this logo covers some essential elements and borrows heavily on the beast of burden which has been the timeless symbol of the journal / council.

    For a T-Shirt, the entire logo would have to be converted to line art. I am not the artist, I simply sketched out some ideas to a friend.

    I like the trowel, it reminds me of a Masonic apron or something.

    Yeah, you're right. For some reason I was thinking of an Imperial Guard Sentinel but the legs are way too short.

    Yes, it's from a warhammer website. I don't play that game, so I can't speculate as to what model is under the dress

    I like the first one, but only if we put big slashes through each word of "Hold-Clear-Build" and replace with something more on the lines of:

    Wow, nothing's off limits around here, is it? Especially disturbing re: the Master Guns...

    Listen - Think - Act
    certainly has merit.

    How about:

    War is about imposing will.
    Small war is about imposing will, nicely.

    (Consider the older definition of 'nice'; "minute and subtle; precise, critical; minutely accurate")

    For graphics:
    -How about a machete in there someplace? Note Guevara's recommendations for the use of machetes and the applications they were put to in Rwanda.
    -And now that Guevara and Rwanda have been mentioned... How about Tom Odom's handsome visage wearing a Che beret?

    some more concepts.

    "Listen, Think, Act" sounds like an after-school special.
