+Title: Chupacabras Logos
+
+I would love it if someone could take these sketches
+and turn them into something the team will use,
+because I'd love to have a sticker of this on my laptop.
+
+![Chupas Logo](chupas-logo.png)
+
+I tried to incorporate New Mexico's Zia symbol with the chupacabra:
+a cryptid sometimes drawn as a "grey" alien with claws.
+This logo feels like a real sports team to me.
+It conveys fierceness and mystery, only uses 18 objects,
+and looks great with only one ink color.
+Because all the negative space is connected,
+it's possible to make a stencil.
+
+
+[Here is the source file](chupas.svg)
+for everybody to play with.
+This logo is all yours to do with as you please,
+as long as you share alike
+(see the bottom of the page for details).

+
+Here's what it would look like on a black (or dark-colored) T-shirt.
+This really highlights the use of negative space for the "spooky" feel.
+I feel like the eyes are sort of popping out at me.

+![Chupacabras Medallion](chupas-medallion-bw.png)
+
+Here's a medallion form with the team name.
+I'm not crazy about this font,
+it's difficult to read at a distance,
+although it does match the feel well.

+
+![Chupacabras Medallion](chupas-medallion.png)
+
+A color medallion, for buttons,
+print media,
+web sites, etc.
+
+This uses 4 colors: black, purple, yellow, and red.
+You could change the colors to whatever your teams uses.
