Drawing on the Gadsden flag as a reference is interesting; a yellow background would make that a stronger parallel.  It does pose an interesting dichotomy since the organization is the World Defense Force, but the Gadsden flag was a symbol of American independence.  Is the logo saying that America is the world's defender?

Talula is right, it's very busy.  Personally, I'd drop the skull.  The guns and the historical context of the snake both say "defense;" the skull says "we like killing people."  Definitely a mixed message.

While I like the designs personally, they do look remarkably like a pirate's Jolly Roger.

If that's the impression you're going for, I'm happy with it.

It's very intimidating and I like talking with people/not scaring the shit out of them.

would it be to late to change the pistol to a 1911? I would think that's more "Americana" than the pistol that's on the design which looks like a berretta.

I dig it.

Like the changes you made.

One thing:
Is that Africa and Europe on the top left and Australia on the bottom right ?

Shouldn't North America be in the background on the globe ?

Looks pretty cool.  It's an individual right so I agree with preserving the original quote and not the Us, only way I'd buy one.  Glad you dropped the World stuff, too collectivist for me as well!

+ 1 with 1911 and maybe place a 2AHawaii logo somewhere in the bottom.  Can't wait to purchase some.  Thanks
