Seriously... is there something in the water which graphic artists drink?





IF I were to use this, I'd lose the "professional voiceover" and toss "voiceovers by" in the balloon. Oh yeah, I'd also change it to a balloon since I don't think he needs to THINK about what he's doing but to SAY it!

I kinda like the motif, but frankly... on the whole, it scares me.

Oh yeah... voiceover, not voice-over.

*goes off and grumbles*

/thought that I ought to share my pain with the rest of you

1.) Hats are in. They're hot like...hats. No more baseball caps, just the real deal. If you can pull off a real hat, then you've got real fake class.

2.) So, is that a microphone grill or a George Forman Grill?

3.) Is that a tie, or are you being strangled by a snake.

4.) Yes, blue blue and more shades of blue when you've got no clue.

5.) Sorry about that puddle. It could work. Depends.

6.) How the blazes can he have a shadow beneath him and a collar that dissolves into nothingness?

7.) I'd leave the lavender thought bubble (ARrrGH!) and place the slogan "Hey, Stoopid, I'm Voice-Talkin here!" within.

Everytime I drop acid and stare at old Sinatra record covers, this is what I see. Okay, I do neither of those things. But I do lurve Sinatra.

Frankly, looking at this hath made me perturbed.

But I love the way "ouser" doesn't match up with the H. Real nice.

Greg,

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure God didn't have anything to do with the hat. Laugh

apparently all the good ones are either busy or have died.

On the upside, the person who did my CD and business cards stated that he'd take a whack at this (he is rather talented), but it'd take some time due to new baby, job, etc.

Considering the quality of his previous work, and that he's willing to do it for free... I'm willing to wait another two weeks for a few proofs.

Haven't had the chance as of yet, but he's on the short list.

Anybody else other than Courvo get a quote from him yet?

Quite literally, I've had an easier time picking out a car compared to this (and that process took 7 months!).

Yes, yes... this has become my own personal Hindenburg.



But I shall not let this keep me from finding a sane graphic artist to help me design a logo... regardless of the consequences, as the consequences for acceptance of this level of work are far worse.
