Was killing a little time and started working on a logo for a good friend who got me involved in home brewing. He does a lot of woodwork and uses barn wood in most his work. So I wanted to have a rustic look for his logo. He also mentioned he had the nick name "Rooster" back in the day.

Just wanted to see what yall though....

Suggestions and opinions always welcome.....

What about a barn with the Rooster wind thing on top? That is what I would go for.

I think the rooster is a bit dark on the background, but other than that it looks great. I think instead of changing the rooster though, I'd go with a lighter wood grain instead.

Agreed. The lighter wood will give you more contrast in the details of the rooster. As is the area around the wings and neck gets a little muddled- hard to see the details. Nice design though.

Yea, I debated the dark rooster myself. He mentioned a rooster silhouette, but I wanted to have a tad of detail being the reason I flushed it like I did. Let me go back and see if I can find a slightly lighter wood.

I will try to find a lighter/grayer barn wood. Think that may let the rooster stand out a tad more. I do know I want to go with a barn wood look. Especially seeing how that is the type of lumber he works with 90% of the time.

Nice. A little confusing being "Cox" vs "Cocks", since it is a "Cock" pictured. I assume "Cox" is his real name? Where would the type go? Maybe around the top in the same banner as the bottom?
