The last couple nights I've been working on a logo for my friend's church. Having a great time, learning tons! Have a fantastically amazing artist friend who helped me until the wee morning hours to come up with this:
For me, the very best part of this design is the awesome font called "Bleeding Cowboy". Yeah, yeah....I already know the jokes. I just think that's the world's coolest font...
