Hercules, hero of song and story.
Hercules, winner of ancient glory.
Fighting for the right,
Fighting with his might,
With the strength of ten, ordinary men.
Hercules, people are safe when near him.
Hercules, only the evil fear him.
Softness in his eyes,
Iron in his thighs,
Virtue in his heart,
Fire in every part,
Of the Mighty Hercules.

Mixing a Goldfish Mermaid, a 20's magazine cover for the model inspiration, and my love for T&C Surf designs from the 80's, this has been one of my favorites to design to date.
A rough, yet elegant banner.
The pattern on the banner holds meaning too. Heihachi, the woodcutting samurai, makes it for them, and it reflects some of his whimsy and quiet mischief. The six circles on the top represent the six "proper" samurai in their company. The symbol at the bottom means "tanbo" or rice paddy. It's supposed to represent the farmers who the samurai are defending. (It's interesting that the samurai each get their own symbol, but the farmers are still lumped into one big group; some class differences are still in place). Between them stands a triangle representing Kikuchiyo: the outsider of the bunch who stands balanced between the samurai and the peasants they're protecting.
One of the best things from my childhood was the G.I. Joe Adventure Team. I've seen this logo done, and re-done, but I wanted to add some depth to mine.
Rogers' Rangers was a company of soldiers from the Province of New Hampshire raised by Major Robert Rogers and attached to the British Army during the Seven Years' War. The unit was quickly adopted into the British army as an independent ranger company.
