I've had this design in my head for a while now and finally photoshopped it up tonight.  I got the Jolly Roger image from Wikipedia and the AK silhouette from the flag of Mozambique.
eta:  If you think you couud do a better job and want to give it a try, I have linked the images that I chopped above.

Actually what I had in mind was my friend that has a screen printing shop or the local flag shop that does custom flags.

Pretty cool

Looks great. The only thing I would do is center it more evenly between the bottom and top and outline the ak on the right where it overlaps with the one on the left to distinguish them more, like the original one with swords but that would probably take a second to do. Cool pic

might frame the skull better if the AK's were upside down with the mags curving upwards

If you are doing it for print...you need to vectorize it in a program like Adobe Illustrator. It will have clean lines, versus pixels. Unless you are doing it very high resolution in Photoshop...it will look not as clean when printed.

P.S. Very cool though!

Just tried it and it looks a little awkward.

I was gonna let my friend handle that.  He is a graphic designer and runs a screen printing and vinyl decal shop.

I have a ferret skull with 2 crossed AK's behind it tattooed on my person.  *shrug*

I see that logo selling very well on a tee shirt!

This.

It's a bit rough still, but a bit o' cleanup would definitely make it a hot item.

That would be cool to see.

We have 4 ferrets here.  2 sables and 2 dark eyed almost white.

Photobucket album of our collection of ferts

More or less that's the collection as it stands right now

I'll work on getting a pic of the tat.

Find a skull design that's a little more agressive.  The one shown looks too "happy."

The AK should be out front of the AR !!

You know, I think you're right.  I made that when I was way back in college, before I actually, you know, held any gun besides my dad's Schmidt-Rubin.  I may have to make up a better version.

But I'm still in college, 10 years later, and I'm too busy finishing up my PhD.
