Ted Kirkpatrick of Tourniquet recently shared the original colored pencil drawing of the band's logo on the Tourniquet Facebook page. You can compare it to the final version of the first album below.
From the Facebook post "A bit of history: Here's the original prototype colored pencil drawing for the band logo. It was done by my Wisconsin friend James Martin. This is what artist Ken Taufer went from to create the actual Stop the Bleeding release cover... Ted" - Ted Kirkpatrick

When asked by a fan about the snake that inhabits the logo, Kirkpatrick stated "I asked him to incorporate the snake."
What do you think of the snake in the logo? Do you prefer the band's logo with or without the snake?
