A co-worker and I made this today at work... I'm planning on having it cut in vinyl and am going to put it on my h16!
It's similar to the "croc one" insignia that he had on his research boat, a 75' powerboat.

Real tears - My favorite. An actual moment of Steve Irwin in action: "Crikey" (as he dodges a striking poisonous snake) "One bite from that little fella and I'da been a goner".... (looks wildly into camera) "Let's follow him" .... (chases deadly viper into the brush) That boy wasn't right, and that's how you always figured he'd go 
Gonna miss him. 
Nice graphics by the way! |

Thanks! It's a tribute to his 'croc one' logo... very simple, yet completely recognizable. Kind of like Steve! I have been a fan since his show hit animal planet/discovery and I always enjoyed watching him work! I never thought his antics were lame or cheesy tactics just to gain attention. His endeveurs were pure and his excitement was true to his cause. I watched a lot of programs and read a lot of articles recently about how it took a long time for the aussies to really appreciate him because initially they thought he was somewhat of a joke. They thought his antics, language, and overall attitude was somewhat of an embelishment on the way that aussies act and talk. After time, they realized that he was just being himself and that he truly was a good guy doing good deeds and not only helping the locals of Australia but also helping to educate the world in the process! His shows helped to bring Australia to the attention of the rest of the world and they know it! His family turned down the option of having a "state funeral" stating, "steve was an ordianary guy and he would want to be remembered for being an ordinary bloke", said his father. Anyways, it's a small thing that I thought would be nice. Now I have to get it cut in vinyl and get it on my boat. |
