I'm really getting excited... things are looking good. Just wanted to focus on smaller details now. I uploaded some photos of the types of food we serve. Some of the designs we like have steaks in them... I know its had to put pulled pork on a fork but even ribs would work. Thanks again... the designs are really starting to take shape.

#64 and #63 I just wanna say YAY!!!! and thanks for coming back... love that you never give up!!!! Those look great. Only concern is the lettering being so similar to fire. Also, Really kinda want transparent background... makes it easier to put on stuff. Maybe a smoker or some wood, or coals on bottom half for contrast. The other 6 designers look out qcssoft is in the house!!!

By the way... Thank you very much everyone for working on this project and submitting your designs. I've been really busy and have not been able to give the feed back you probably deserve. More then likely I will extend contest so I can focus on it over the weekend. It is still very much alive and anyones to win still. #52 looks pretty good though as of now.

#52 for some reason on my Mac the lines on the stop sign aren't lining up. Can any imperfections be cleaned up? Only concerned cause this will be blown up to at least 6 feet by 6 feet.

#62 kinda Loonie Toons ish. #59 smoke looks like the pigs been eatting the beans not smoking pork. #52 jumps in the lead, maybe some flames and smoke (maybe!). #51 & #50 something is missing, not sure what, not a fan of little clouds as smoke. #24 still making me laugh. #22 might have most potential Ditch the steak in the fork and switch one guitar for a saxophone, like the music element. On #22 is that background part of design or an example of a watermark for stationary?

Really like the road sign style in #39. That is crazy-cool cuz we are a roadside eatery. Not loving the design inside it yet. We smoke our meats, which is not the same as a backyard style BBQ.

In saying that #6 is one funny pig and funny is cool to. Both #12 and #6 are deserving of 3 stars, keep up the good work. Getting closer.

Wish there was a reset button. I'm just a bad communicator I guess. My BBQ is better then my communication skills. Nothing screaming winner. All I can say is Cool, Blues, Southern, BBQ, Pig, Smoke, Canada. Mix them all together and you got "The Smoke Shack". #12 is closer then the rest to what Im looking for.

Thanks for the designs! I'd like to see some in a round, oval or rectangular type shape so that I can have stickers, t-shirts, etc. created. I did notice that I like the lighter type pink...more of a flesh color. Am enjoying seeing the different styles of pigs!
