I like your style, Tim!
Love this, Tim.
That's a beauty, Tim, I like it a lot.
Very stylish.
That looks right on point, Tim.
Excellent, Tim, my favourite period for fashion and design.
Thanks everyone, I always appreciate the support. Penny, my favorite period for fashion and design too!!!
A really artistic speed bird. Style suggesting movement.

I wondered more about the phrase, 'artistic speed bird'.
also only guessing but 'speedbird' can be used to describe a stylised depiction of a bird in flight, originally specific, but now like 'hoover' and 'biro' used generally [see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedbird]
the shoulderand back together with the head angle have that feel up to a point; agree with paul about the strong pose
Correct link, without closing square bracket:

handrawn and Egg are correct. This was the shape that promoted my comment.
an art deco logo of course; was pretty sure, but being too emphatic here gets me into toruble sometimes :) - thanks for confirming
It was a great emblem in 1932 and is still a great emblem in 2021.Quote:

on that basis Tim if you are going for the art deco look you may want to simplify the face features which to my mind are cluttered [aka too realistic] for that style.. but every thing else is spot on, really good
