Default Looking for a mechnical eagle design

I used to have a HD dealer **** that had this very unique eagle design. The eagle wasn't as cartoon looking as the common ones, but almost had a mechanical look to it. Kind of like a cross between an old german iron eagle/new age mechanical look. I have googled and scoured but cannot find it anywhere...anyone happen to know what I'm talking about or have a copy of the design?

Sort of, but the one I had sharper edges and straighter lines. It was super cool and unique. (hence I can't find the darn thing)

It almost was a cross between the German Iron eagle from WWII and the Polish eagle.

Found it! I'd love to get a digital photo of this design.
I guess now that I look at it, its not so much WWII but maybe Star Warish?

Any Commercial/Graphic artist worth their salt could duplicate that image in a format that would be usable for many purposes. Signage, t-shirts, decals, etc.

That said, and as a Commercial/Graphic artist worth my salt, and although I could reproduce that logo quite easily, I wouldn't touch it.

Years ago, I reproduced the HD logo in a shirt design for a Harley dealer. A few weeks later, I got "The Letter" from their legal department. A rather threatening letter as a matter of fact.

two or three black suburbans, with blacked out windows, will roll up, 8 ski masked men fully armed, are going to come thru your door, confiscate you computer, tie you up in an old rug, and just like that, we never hear from you again!!!

Is this what you really want?

Take a picture of it and run it through the photo editor of your choice.

I know that it won't be perfect but if all you want it for is background...........????
