Have you ever wanted to create a superhero shield in Adobe Illustrator? Well, sure you have. I mean, it's Captain America's shield, for crap's sake. And just in time for the Fourth of July! I mean, seriously, who on the face of this red, white, and blue planet is more patriotic than Captain America? Iron Man's too wrapped up in himself. (Hey, like me!) Thor is an alien, and therefore ineligible to run for the office of Patriot. The Hulk just wants to smash (honestly, I gotta come up with a technique for this guy). Black Widow and Hawkeye are not superheros (altho Black Widow has a superbutt). And Loki hates our freedom. Okay, clearly, Nick Fury is a patriot, but he shoots at airborne enemies with a pistol, which makes him an idiot. So, really, the only one left standing is Captain America.

Better still, U.S trademark law does not protect his shield, so we can riff on it all we want.
