  Hello Dann,

  You clearly refer to the initial logo attempts.  I can assure you that the
  recent Beowulf logos depict the monster Grendel as never before.

  Grendel never looked so good!!


  I think they are available on the Arena site.  I could send you a few if
  you like...


  Apparently someone read your first complaint (about the fact that the logos
  typically depicted a wolf's head rather than a man) and did the necessary
  research into the myth.


  Some of those old myths, particularly the German and Norse ones, tend to be
  tragedies with the heroes perishing at the finest hour.

  Later.
