Entry #16: I understand what you where thinking, and I like the thought. But, it's just a little too muddled, you lose the presence of the wording.. I love your artistic flair, so what about trying to draw an actual stove, maybe sorta like a "stratford boiler stove" (I tried to attach a pic but it didn't work, maybe you can google it) as the body of a vehicle, still giving the whole vehicle fun, flair, and personality (maybe adding a VERY subtle face to it to give it some personality, sly / cunning). Maybe it's best to leave the wording seperate and strong, like your #9, but somehow try to conserve space, like how in entry #6 he has everything (symbol plus clear wording) in one overall symbol. Sorry, I know that was a lot to say, hopefully it helps??? : )
Thanks again!!! Loving it!!
