This logo is for a campaign, but I don't want it to look like the typical, generic, red, white & blue, American flag, stars, type of logo. I'd like something more unique. Rustic but not country. Retro maybe. Some good examples of the style I'm looking for are - logo for The Trey Blocker Show, logos for various Texas Country music artists - Pat Green, Cory Morrow, Robert Earl Keen, Stoney LaRue, etc.
