Extra notes: Hello Fellow Designers,

I need you to help me to design a powerful, unique, iconic logo form my new business.

The business name is Angry Beard.

I'd like to create a logo which is beard character / mascot. The design should be beard only, so no other face elements like eyes etc. It should look really angry, epic, bad-ass, majestic perhaps a bit evil. Think pirates, Vikings, epic fantasy warriors - especially dwarfs, Rasputin. I'm after quirky and stylish visual - definitely not Disney style cartoon. I hope this will point you in the right direction. If you have any questions, please ask.

I've created a Pinterest board to give you a better visual clue. Please see it here: http://www.pinterest.com/idesignwebsites/beard/

It would be helpful if you could show me portfolio bits that match the style described above.
