Without modifying the original design too much, I was able to bring in a skeletal arm holding a foamy mug of goodness. I also added minor detail to the background and spiced up the font.
I do like the potential, so we put you in top 5. I don't think this is it though. Not sure if you want to put the time in for a big redesign, but we are really liking the semi scary character that looks like they are enjoying a beverage. Not closed on other ideas, but that is definitely leading the pack.
Thank you for your firm direction and feedback on the previous design. I decided to invest in a major redesign that focuses on a ghostly character with a cold mug. It's somewhat dark and mysterious, but still approachable. I was hoping to steer clear of a "cartoony" look and keep the color scheme simple.
