I would like to keep the font easily readable, but I would like a bit of flair to it. Maybe an orange color (or insert copper) to the font, with a dark background (I like the teal as well). Maybe a combination of the distinct logo and the black wolf logo but with a bear instead. Something that would also be easily modifiable to go on hats or shirts.  So if you do the bear outline idea I would like the open spaces to be seen through.  Maybe the bear copper or rust colored.

A very good designer, easy to work with and very open to changes, and very prompt with getting back with you. It was a pleasure working with you and I will display your logo with pride.
