This makes me very sad. The Texas Trophy Hunters Association has been using this design for a long time, at least 20 years. And the lousy part is that I knew it, just took awhile to process.
While the designs are certainly similar, to me they seem different enough that you need not abandon the arms you have been developing.
I agree totally with Fr. Dohrman. Thinking this is a duplication would be like saying every lion rampant duplicates every other lion rampant. The Texas emblem isn’t even a coat of arms.
Joseph - Fr. Dohrman - I know it’s by no means a duplicate, it’s just very similar indeed. It gave me pause is all.
So what?
Your antlers are white, the hunter’s yellow and use the skull as well. Yours is on a pile which is on a gold field. Theirs is just a green logo. There are more differences than similarities.
Other similar logos and arms:
<ul class=“bbcode_list”>
<li>Jagermeister uses as stag’s head and green is associated with the brand.</li>
<li>The SCA uses a stag and green for one of its divisions here.</li>
<li>A Canadian grant shows like wise a similar design here.</li>
</ul>
Well it looks like I overreacted. Thank you, sir. 
Yep. Stags are a bit common, so do not fret over someone else having one, as you can see it happens. You have plenty of difference.
It’s a good design.
Besides, my friends, to paraphrase Bob Dylan: "The tines they are a-changin’."

great Joseph!!! now i’ll have that song in my head all day!!! lol
Honestly when I look at the emblem compared to the arms, I don’t really see a whole lot of similarity. It’d be like looking at my arms and the Canadian flag an saying they were identical.

Hmmm. They are really close Joshua. I think it’s time for you to hit the drawing board again. :rofl:

HA! Yeah right…I’m very happy with my design thank you. Besides, I made sure I started registering this design with different places to make sure I wouldn’t back out

Denny,
At least it wasn’t a tune by that great heraldically-named singer, "Barry" White.
Ben - nice to know there’s another wooter out there. I’ve got a bunch of woot T-shirts and that one is about to be added to the collection.
Note: one of my favorites features a DeLorian and Tardis in a mid-time/space collision.
Reviving old thread…
I’ve been mulling over this design since May, I still like it. That’s a good sign, but there is still a feeling like something is missing.
