SOOOOOOoooooOOOooooo yep this is my submission for  hyenabytes Fursuits logo contest. Their journal can be found here....http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4866561/

It was was made in GIMP 2.

I took a look at  LoopSaberTooth 's account, who is the owner of this fursuit business. I saw that they had faved some Lion King hyena art not too long before & figured working with a hyena design similar to the kind seen in Lion King would be a good jumping off point in improving my odds of him liking it. That was the original idea but it didn't really end up like that.

The contest states that...
"The logo MUST feature a hyena and have the letters HB. You may choose what colors to use! "
So I got the hyena part but I honestly tried working with just the letters H & B but it didn't look good when I tried to do it. At some point I just figured why not just put the full name.... I mean it says it has to have the letters H & B in it but it didn't say that it couldn't have other letters in it, heh. So here they are!

I was going to go crazy with the colors & then I realized well  LoopSaberTooth already uses these blacks, grays & greens in their current icon so that must mean that they like those colors. Why fix what isn't broken? If they like these colors already why not just use them again since I figure they already like them.

I really like the way this turned out & am proud of it. Even though I am proud of it I choose not to sign it. Signing has become a norm for things I am really proud of creating recently. The reason I didn't sign it was because well I couldn't really find a convent place to throw a few pixel signature. I was thinking of hiding it in the teeth at first but when I did it it didn't work with the picture. I mean the picture in general I kept a very pixely look & kept some parts messy but it's an organized chaos . I mean I even did a layer copy & flip of some of the line art so it could look symmetrical & idk help give off a professional logo design. I also chose not to sign it because this is a contest to create a logo for a company. I feel like if  LoopSaberTooth chooses my logo it will be there to represent the company & I should let it go. It will be their's to do what they wish with it. Be freeeee logo! Be free & frolic among  hyenabytes submissions! Hahahahaha. So yep my logic is silly but it works for me.

I tried to center the logo but I didn't want the nose to be the center which is what I originally intended. Since the ears are so big it would look off if I centered it at the nose. I think it looks good where I decided to center it.

I meant for this to be transparency because well I think it will work out better that way if  LoopSaberTooth wishes to use it as a water mark. So click on it to view it as a transparency if you can't see it as one since FA likes to do when you view it at first.

Wish me luck in wining the contest guys!
