Snapping Turtle Logo for CEO gift

STC

Verum Faucibus

We need a logo for a very special gift for a CEO of a major company. This client talks constantly about "Snapping Turtle Facts" (which are what he calls hard, verified facts and he totally hates people giving any other kind). We are going to have heavy crystal drink glasses made with a logo of a snapping turtle in profile with his mouth open; snapping. We want this to look very serious and kind of vicious, not cartoony at all.

We would like the just the initials STC --(short for Snapping Turtle Club)-- worked into the logo--wherever you think looks awesome. We want the effect to look like a logo for a serious old and exclusive British men's hunting club. Like a crest of a hunting club. Maybe some kind of elegant border or maybe no border?

We also want the slogan Verum Faucibus somewhere, maybe below? (This means "Jaws of Truth" in Latin, which we think is hilarious in a nerdy way)

I like the image from the Britannica I included because the turtle is in profile. I want to capture a real sense of snapping.

I hope you can figure out how to make this look like a serious club's logo or a really expensive bottle of Scotch --we want people to ask him where the glasses are from. We are psyched to see your work!!

Please remember we are going to etch this into heavy crystal glasses. Thanks!!
