About st.pauli totenkopf

A high-contrast, monochrome emblem: a white human skull faces forward, rendered with hollow eye sockets, nasal cavity and visible teeth. Behind the skull two long bones cross in an X (crossbones), aligned roughly through the skull's lower jaw and cheek area. The skull and bones have slightly rough, hand-drawn edges rather than smooth vector fills.

Beneath the skull-and-crossbones is a bold, uppercase wordmark reading "ST. PAULI" in white against a solid black background. The composition is centered and compact, with the symbol above and the wordmark directly below, creating a rectangular overall layout.
