update 7/4: I uploaded a PDF with some examples I've found online that I like. However, they aren't mine, and I cannot use them. Just a point of reference possibly. I am seeing some potential in your submissions. :) But still looking for that "right one".
I own a t-shirt business in a small rural town. I'm looking for a new Ringneck Pheasant mascot to use on t-shirt designs. We are the only "Ringnecks" in the whole USA, a very unique mascot... and a difficult one to redesign. Everything I've done myself looks like a chicken. I need help! I have attached some of my designs. The red one I made and like. The gray one (I designed) but haven't used, since my daughter tells me it looks like a chicken instead of a ringneck. The black tank top and red sweatshirt show ringnecks another t-shirt shop in town are using. The last 3 logos are old, old ones that have been used, but not liked. This is such a difficult mascot. I'm hoping you all can help me!!!! Thank you in advance!!
