"Nusouth"

As many of my friends know, I'm slightly proud of my "suthern" heritage. I've had this name and design concept idea for awhile: Nusouth. The name signifies the renaissance of the Southern region as a modern economic powerhouse but still full of the things that make it such a great place. I've been fartin' around with logo ideas and this is an early sketch. It's ok, but the balance feels funny. You be the judge... or by the fact that nobody visits this blog, not at all.
