The rough-hewn look of these is really* appealing and a bit affecting. I like this beaver one, since I’m in Oregon (there’s a Duck, too, I think), but they’re all good. Jump to the MocoLoco post I saw, or poke around the web. Maiwenn’s “Liam” mailbox is really good, too.
There’s an acorn I like, too. I think food items would be great hood ornaments – you could always be chasing that carrot. Cupcakes. I think I’m going to steal the idea and put zero work into it – just glue a sturdy plastic pig to my front fender. That idea just cracks me up.
*Superlatives are just lazy writing. Sorry
I love it. “Back in the day” I think fender ornaments were a lot more common. I found an old Durkopp hoodie online and mounted it to the fenders on my Big Dummy: http://problemsolversbike.com/blog/comments/camping_with_the_dummy/

Extreeeemly cool. “Durkopp” sounds like it means “hard head,” which appeals to me, but Google translate says nooo… I like the word “hoodie” for hood ornament, too.
