New Smoking-Meat.com Logo in Progress

[db bbq]

I really think the logo that bbq bubba is using as his avatar is a Great logo..Maybe take out the ribs infront of the "O"....Just my 2cents..DB BBQ

Or make the ribs a little smaller.. so you can see the grill..
P:S: No Bull yet ???

I have 6 new white aprons I'm about to make iron trasfers for before long. Bet I wear them out before the logo gear arrives ...

Nudge ...... >>>>>

My vote besides hats and T- shirts, would be a small decal for my car and truck, defintely some stickers for my tool box, fridge, and helmut, and I like the idea of fridge magnets. I think they would sell.

I sincerely apologize for the apparent dragging of the feet on this.. not to make excuses but I have been absolutely covered up and I can't seem to see daylight here lately...

I know.. whine, whine, whine (as my wife would say)

Anyway.. I am totally open to ideas for this. The only thing I have come up with so far is CafePress which in my opinion is a little overpriced although they do provide dropshipping and almost all of the items that have been mentioned with NO minimum order quantities including:

Bumper stickers
Stickers
Hats
Shirts
Aprons
Mugs
Teddy Bears (gifts for lady friends I'm sure)
Coasters
Clocks
Etc.

Feel free to fill me in if anyone knows of a better option.


As to the logo.. I think the pigs feet are somewhat cartoonish which I sort of like but there does seem to be a lot of complaining about it

I agree with the ribs over the "O".. anyone know photoshop well enough to remove it? Be my guest.

If you need the fullsize files.. send me a PM with your request and I will be happy to share with a person or two who has the required skill set.

I am not a photoshop guy myself and do not have the original photoshop files broke up into layers to make this task easy.

Don't we have someone here that does this sort of thing - advertizing stuff? Damn memory stinks! I know there was someone talking about it back around the Gathering time ...

 

[hawgheaven]

Jeff, I do photoshop and can tackle this for ya'... which logo are you talking about using?

 

[TulsaJeff]

Hawg,

That would be great!

I am forwarding the email to you that I received from the logo company.. it contains a link to download the zip file with a all contents including letterhead, logo, business card, etc.

It has various formats inclding, tif, jpeg, eps, psd, etc. so you can choose the one that is best to work with.

There is no need to edit all of the different ones.. just one that is high res, and I can resize and change the resolution for web logo version.

Thanks!

 

[TulsaJeff]

Hawg,

I forgot to mention... the logo I sent you says Smoking-Meat.com.. I think the Smoking should be left in the top line and then Meat Forum should be placed under it.

If you have a better idea.. let me know.

Thanks once again!

Put the "O" back in SMOKING. Lose the grill & ribs. Pig's feet are fine, it IS a cartoon.

just my 2-cents - on the list of merchandise with the logo on it , how about a FLAG 2' x 3' to fly it high and proudly next to our smokers ????

 

[mossymo]

KENNYMN
I love the idea, I would fly it high !!!

 

[gypsyseagod]

having been in a business where i did merchandise(now i have vista & i'm a comp.idiot again)but knowing how merch can get into overhead & way out of hand w/items quickfast....what about an smf donation or paid download of the logo for say a time protected period(24 hrs) and the person gets their own iron on transfer paper for their printer ???? just a thought.

 

[bbq bubba]

BUMP!!!
Over 6000 member's...........can we get a t-shirt???

 

[deejaydebi]

Running around with nakid aprons .... no T-shirt - no ball cap - heavy sigh ...

 

[hawgheaven]

Okay, my bad... I told Jeff I'd touch up the "official" logo and get it back to him... I still have it partially done. I promise I'll get back on it asap... life happens sometimes.

Stay tuned...

 

[squeezy]

Enough excuses grampa ... let's get with the program ...

 

[flattop]

My sis does t-shirts. I could check with her to see if it's something she could handle and if it would be cost effective for the members here.

 

[bbq bubba]

Bump!!!!!!!

Yeah smoke from the stack. It has to be thin and blue!
