Orcas schmorcas......Wait a second...the centre of the Pacific North West is in CANADA...Washington and Oregon are just crowded southern satellite communities that wish they would...also all the Orcas are in Canada...so the key geographical concept here is CANADA.
And in Canada the most mysterious and elusive, but graceful and enchanting and whispered about pelagic creature...is the Great Saltwater Beaver...or GSB.
Even the Orca fears the GSB, everyone fears the GSB. Cuz the GSB is the meanest mutha in the valley. Here in Canada...we sacrifice virgins every year to the GSB...but the GSB is not naturally, in its own habitat...a voracious carnivore, top predator and pinnacle of the food chain. The GSB actually, except for sporadic yearly virginavorism, a herbivore. Thats right, it doesnt even eat fish...it eats driftwood. In fact if it wasnt for the GSB, the entire coastline of the PNW would be littered with matted driftwood for miles out to sea. Charters would have to go severe offshore to get in a decent diving if it wasnt for the GSB. We divers owe a lot to the GSB.
But the main thing...is the sheer elusiveness of the GSB. This thing is the ninja of the animal kingdom. It makes the sasquatch look like a central park flasher. The sheer mysterioso of the creature just adds to its mojo...it is a thing of great puissance.
So i think the logo should be of a Great Saltwater Beaver jumping on the throat of an Orca and snapping it like a cajun spice chickenwing.
What else could convey, or represent the enviromental stewardship ethos, crossed with the dont tread on me Orca-spanking majesty that represents the great PNW like the GSB?
