Anarchy Symbol Request.

Hello~
I really good friend of mine asked me if I could stitch him this picture he shown me of the Anarchy symbol.
I told him I would glady do it, but I'm no good with making a pattern.
Is there anyone who could turn this into a pattern for me?

I put the image as an attachment, my friend said he would like everything in the picture; symbol, text, and border.
I would like it to be in one solid red color on a black aida, cross stitches for the symbol and the border.
As for the text "AnArChy," would it be possible to keep that "chicken scratch" effect using back stitches?

As for size, he said he would like to frame it once it's finished, would it being 11" x 13" (or perhaps a little bigger if needed) be alright?

Thank you in advance for those who take their time on this request.

Since noone seems to have taken this one on yet, I thought I'd give it a try.

The resulting pattern is about 11.8 by 13.6 inch on 14 count Aida.
I must admit though. I got the chicken scratch letters in by use of backstitches, but those backstitches are often fairly long.
I'm not too experienced with backstitching but I suspect they might cause the fabric to bunch up if they're pulled too tight.
I'm sorry about that, I just couldn't quite get it too look right with smaller ones.

I do hope the pattern is what you're looking for.
I've added both a kgchart and pdf version of it.
