Mart, I even turned my computer upside down....but it had already been turned right side up.

Look at the red above the white...that is the Rooster head and the little white dot is the eye.

This could be for a poultry store, a market, an alarm clock company, etc.....
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

It looks like the lettering might be Sanskrit
