My local comic shop made a t-shirt that's a parody of/homage to the Ramones logo; one of their customers is a designer in the shirt business, so he did it because it's cool and because one of the owners is a big Ramones fan. They made a bunch to sell in the store as a promotion, and it's been pretty popular with the comics/punk rock nerd set around here.

Here's the Ramones logo and here's the design of their shirt:

The four names are the two owners and their two most senior employees, and the eagle is holding a comic book and an action figure.

Somehow, probably through a Google Image search, the design made its way around the world to Malaysia, where some bootlegger is selling it on eBay, probably because they think Comix Connection is a rock band:
