As you know, the name Fogelfoot comes from Dan Fogelberg and Gordon Lightfoot, but this has become hard to explain. For a while, we have been toying with the idea of an identifiable logo for the band and an actual character that serves as a logo.

For example, the character Eddie (middle picture), is an impish representation of good-time party band Iron Maiden. See Eddie dwarfing Satan at the end of the world. Ha ha!

Then there’s Jethro Tull’s Aqualung (why did the band, named for the inventor of the seed drill, not write an album about a man named after a seed drill instead of one named for a diving bell? Or a character named E-Z- Bake Oven?

E-Z Bake Oven, my friend
Don’t you start away uneasy
You poor old sod, you see it’s only me, your pal Seed Drill)

Finally, there’s the Gorton’s Fisherman (played here in a Gloucester, MA parade by Don Francis).

Fogelfoot would like an iconic logo figure based loosely on the spirits of these three beloved characters for our t-shirts and (eventual) album covers, and can offer modest payment and effusive praise and credit for the artist who creates the winning logo and character.

If you are an artist who is interested, and have an online portfolio, please get in touch with us via booking [at] fogelfoot [dot] [com].
