Does anyone know anything about the logo they use on bootlegs, etc. that is a picture of a bird in a circle, in laurel leaves? Is this an Ames Bros. drawing? Where did it come from? What's the significance of it? etc.

    I believe it was first introduced with the release of the 2005 bootlegs and Canada tour. It was also released as a t-shirt shortly after (Gimme T).

    It has been used as a symbol for tickets on the site ever since. My personal interpretation is that it is supposed to represent the fans as hungry chicks, ie, gimme more...!

    It is also a high quality 'anvil" t-shirt, not like the shitty American Apparel gauze type stuff they try to pass off at recent shows. Highly recommended.

    Awesome. Thanks for the info. I somehow passed over the t-shirt on every one of the times I've checked out the goods section. I think it would make a cool tattoo.
