Wow, #7 stands out. We like the shape, and Wally font. A few comments: the shapes that Wally is licking doesn't read ice cream to us. Is it possible to incorporate a stronger representation of either a cup or cone? Also, Wally's face doesn't seem as familiar to us as the one originally provided. I think the white streak may be too thick and the eyes not as highly arched. We realize this is just a cartoon, but we'd like it to be distinctive and recognizable as Wally. Finally, the term "Wicked Good" is important--it's a classic, New England description---in our menu we'll be playing up the wicked (as in decadent) and good. As such, we're looking for a bit of a magical quality about it. Perhaps stars, or halo and/or devils tail effect, as examples?
#6 reads "diner" to us...not the vibe we're working toward. Our shop is actually pretty funky--vivid colors, chalkboard menu, cool street signs etc.
Hi, thanks for working with those comments. #20 is definitely moving in the right direction--Wally looks good, the ice cream is more realistic and adds a nice spot of color. Not sure about the moon, starts & heart in the background, rather than the polka dots. It seems a little too busy with the newly magical font---which still isn't exactly right. At first glance, I thought the fires of you-know-where :-).
Wow, these just keep getting better for us! #28, #30, and #26 are equally intriguing for different reasons. Thank you for giving us some clever designs to think about. BTW, what happened to #27? I was looking at it, and it disappeared. Just wondering.
#27 was just a slighlty different version of #28, I forgot to make one small change & I didn't want to leave them both on because they were so similar. Let me know if you would like to see any changes or additions, it the meantime I'll keep thinking as well. Thanks, Don
In the home stretch, it's hard to decide which, #34 or #30 we prefer. They are both really exciting. From afar (i.e. standing down the block from the shop window), we still struggle with the ice cream element. We're not sure it will be clear that Wally's licking ice cream--can we use a cone instead of the cup? Perhaps have it stick out to the side to call attention to it? Everyone loves the wicked and good treatment of the font--that's really fun.
Thanks for providing us with some really great designs.
#48 - I made the entire dog/icream/circle a little larger, added an outline to the ice cream & splattered some ice cream around Wally's mouth. I will try to work on something with a cone later on tonight. Do you happen to serve ice cream in waffle bowls?
