haha, the logo is very similar to your style though. Someone must use Adobe Illustrator to make logos, after reading your directions.
P.S. Whenever the New York Islanders move to Brooklyn, they claim they will keep the same logo, colors etc. But their logo represents the county which their current and soon 2 be former arena Nassau Colisseum is located. I personally think, if they ever change their logo, put yourself in their and create it for them. You already did the Buffalo Bisons, why not the Islanders?
You can see the part where the "I" overlaps on Long Island. Also the hockey stick in their new logo unveiled a few years ago, has 4 stripes to represent the four consecutive stanley cups they won in the 1980's.
I think you would make an awesome artist for the Islanders! I think they'll have a change of heart once the time finally comes to leave the island.
