Original logo for Sasquatch research project

Track Maker Project

Through our research we are working to identify the "track maker"(Sasquatch) responsible for leaving large, enigmatic "man like" tracks in North America.

Our target audience is the academic community, and citizen scientists.

We would like the logo to stand out among the other numerous "research" groups out there. Most of them are of tracks, or plaster casts, or a cheesy looking Sasquatch.

for my website, I would like the logo to appear white, with a clear background. For business cards, shirts and hats, I would like to be able to make the logo green black or brown.

I would like the family group of creatures to be presented similarly to the file I have uploaded, in silhouette, with little detail, because we do not know what they look like. Unlike the logo I uploaded, I would like them to appear more fluid, "natural" and not so "hurky jerky" or angular looking. I would recommend examining the anatomy of great apes i.e. arms proportionally longer than legs and physical descriptions of sasquatch; head appears to "sit" directly on shoulders, broad shoulders, robust physique.
I would like this logo to appear "serious" reflecting the scientific nature of the project, something that would also look great embroidered on a shirt or a ball cap. The reason the creatures are presented in silhouette form, is because we have no idea what they actually look like, so they should be presented in the logo to reflect that reality. The idea is that the Track Maker Project, will eventually be able to make those details clear one day.

I would like designers to stay away from the Patterson Gimlin Film style where the creature is fast walking with arms at full swing, that has been done to death. I want the creatures in the example I uploaded, redrawn, to look less angular, and more "life like" (if that makes sense). I want the logo to have a "nature" feel and not a "monster" or tabloid feel, if that makes sense, as if it were just another animal in the woods, like the bear and the cougar.

To clarify, I would like a "family group" of 3 creatures like the illustrations I uploaded; a male, a female and a younger one. Something created using the example uploaded.
