My business partner, Justin "Jud" Kite, and I designed the logo and all the apparel for this newly formed pit bull advocacy organization, headed by Anthony Barnett. Here's a slideshow of the current designs we are preparing for sale on the upcoming Game Dog Guardian site. For several of the tees, the original dog head was designed by Scott Murray.
