I like those logo on the maXimizer; however, I do not know what a mule kick is.

Richard, I thought the Maximizer was THE most logical placement for the product's logo, especially since you are already using it for your standard X-Breaker logo. I wanted to show the different submissions on the Maximizer, so you would have a better visual 'feel' for how the name and logo would present themselves. Just because a name and/or logo sound/look great on paper, doesn't always mean they will translate well to the placement on the product. I am hoping that you have seen ALL of the submissions I have made with the logos on the Maximizer....I have several favs, as far as logo goes....'Hillbilly Hustler', 'A.C.E'., and 'Mule-Kick'.
Well, 'mule-kick' is just another name for 'moonshine'....as is 'hooch', 'white lightning', and 'liquid stumpblaster'. We Americans come up with some very 'colorful' names for things...Lol. If you got the 'moonshine' just right, it's potency would hit you as if you had been kicked by a mule....hence the name 'mule-kick'.
And a mule (male off-spring of a horse and donkey mating) has the most powerful kick of the equine species. Being kicked by a mule can actually kill you...they have a ton of power in those hindquarters!!! (FYI...the female off-spring of a horse and a donkey mating is called a 'jenny'.)
I put Charlie's name on the 'cueball' that the mule is kicking....and thought it was kinda fun and had impact. I thought it was also fun to have the red 'x' from the X-Breaker logo crossing out one of the 'XXX's. Moonshine/whiskey jugs were often marked with 'XXX' to separate them from the other jugs used to store molasses and other syrups and liquids.
I liked 'Mule-Kick' for the name because I thought that if you looked at the power and speed in Charlie's breaks, they were similar in power and speed to a mule's kick.

I just expanded on the whole 'moonshine has a powerful kick' thing with a name and visual that everyone would be able to understand. Even if you didn't know that 'mule-kick' was another name for 'moonshine'...all you have to do is look at the logo...no matter the nationality or language...and you'll understand that there is power not only in the mule's kick, but also in the X-Breaker stick!! Lol...how was that for a rhyme?!
I hope you have a clearer understanding of what a 'Mule-Kick' is now.
