Smokey Joe'sLogo Design Contest

Hello,

Here is my initial design idea for your client's new brand: #23. I wanted to limit myself to a strong but simple horizontal layout, so that the store signage would be large and visible from afar. Not to mention, something that would reproduce great on any materials at any size (uniforms, packaging, biz cards, merch, etc.)

Let me know if you have any feedback or specific revisions you would like to see. I look forward to hearing what you think.

Thanks!

I classed it up a bit more, and I also included a subtle flame as the apostrophe: #25

A completely new direction for your review! --> #61

I wanted to have it visually tie in more with the activities and socializing that people partake in cigars during (poker, drinking, etc.)

Let me know what you think. I will see what other ideas I can contribute as well.
Thanks!

#62: I made it bigger, so you can see the details and highlights better. I also added the sub text of "CIGAR BAR" to ensure no mistakes about what people are seeing when they see your new brand.

And a couple more color variations for good measure: #63, #64

I added a white border as well, which will allow the logo to pop on virtually any color so it always looks great: #66, #67

(Sorry to overwhelm you with so many entries and comments, but I've been on a roll today LOL)
