I was playing around with brushes and I found the one there in the background. It kinda looked like skate gouges on the Ducks side, so I went with it all over. Tried to keep it somewhat blurred and clean in the middle.
Truth be told, I needed something to take away from the horrible cut-out of the Ducks logo. Couldn't find a good version anywhere, had to take that off of the full DUCKS wordmark.
