    maybe just a little, but your attention to detail is to be commended.

    Personally I like all of them with the exception of the Swans. In comparison to all the others I think that one is left lacking that bit of zing the others all have. take away the Knife and he could be their mascot in the Mardi Gras.

    The one for GWS look like four arms from Ben 10, so I will mark him down on that on also.

      Love them. Very impressive.

      The best one's are the Crow, Docktor, Transformer like Bomber, Giant, Demon and definitely the Saint. They all look so menacing.

      I also like the evil vulture like drawings of the Hawk and Eagle, but they are very similiar.

      The Swan is by far the worst, just looks lame and i agree with others that ours would look much better facing the viewer. The Roo also looks poor and if there wasn't blood dripping off the Tigers fist it would look like an Egyptian Tiger that wasn't menacing at all.

      BTW, can anyone find the logo on the Melbourne one? I can't seem to locate it.
      I should leave it alone but you're not right

        I couldn't find it either, but after looking again I think it's in the tail - quite faint though.

          I don't think the blood is needed on so many of them but very creative.

            The Dockers logo is cool...it is the one where he has really done some interpretation in going away from the logo (Docker which was supposed to be a dock worker) and actually go with the iconic 'Doctor' term...it is just awesome and they should adopt it immediately.

            I actually don't like our one much (or the cat for that matter). The side on view doesn't do them justice - would have preferred the dog to look rabid rather than having blood on it's jaws.
            What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

              Thanks GVGjr, I thought I was going to be the only one who had some hesitation about these images. They are creative, but I find them a bit dark/violent...... maybe I'm just old-fashioned?

                They are comic book style. If you see some of the latest batman or xmen type comics you will see a similar theme.

                  I loved the Magpie one, purely for Joffa's hat sitting there looking like a spent cartridge or something, very clever.

                    Freo, Carlscum, Saints and the Power are the standouts for me
                    Would love to see a club adopt something like this as their mascot, the AFL would have a heart attack and all the moral crusaders would be up in arms over it, (please wont someone think of the children) but if i was a kid and there was a team that had one of those mascots compared to all the other mascots i would be all over that team.
                    Shame the doggies one is a little disappointing for me, half way through i was already writing an email in my head to whoever made them asking for permission to use it on a t-shirt

                        Hats off to the artist for their creativity, but they're just not my cup of tea. I respect the ability to create art like that, but IMO the market would be limited.

                            Anyone else think Andrew Wills might've been the inspiration for the Fremantle Doctor?
