I can't see the details well enough to comment on the design. Though, speaking as an artist, I would suggest a different color scheme than white and red on black. A color scheme that refers to ducks would seem to me to be more effective.

As for the verbal part: It's almost what I might want to call a 'cryptic' message; it seems to have potentially at least three layers of meaning (none of which I can unravel).

1. First, you see Ducks but Guts, whatever that means.

2. Then you notice three red Us, (whatever that might mean).

3. Last, you see the small print that completes the sentence, 'We are called ducks but we have guts', (whatever that says about ducks).

Ducks are not particularly gutless, so it makes no sense. CHICKENS WITH GUTS would be funny. The design suits me fine. I'll take on in XL, please.

Why are the 3 U's in red? Are we supposed to try another vowel?

Ask Mister Micawber about the Apostrophe Protection Society. (hee,hee)
