FUNky

When it does open, I have some funky cheese that's been it my fridge for a couple of months if they need it.

For real, Is that the name?

Never mind I'm just showing my age.

All I know is I'd get paid upfront. With a restaurant with the name "Funk" in it, and specializing in a gimmick that everyone has at home but never uses, I'm not confident in the longevity of the venture. But what do I know. I thought cheaply made Skandinavian furniture would never sell either. But I did think the Twix bar was a great idea since day one. Now I'm rambling, so I.....

Adrian I like that too.
Still freaks me out to see my font.
And I think that other one is by my pal Bill Krupinski.

Thanks Jill. I like the font a lot. I also got A&S Truckin at the same time. The other font is A&S Happy Jack. I wanted to make "Funky Fondue" look like Swiss cheese but I got too busy with work.

I had a job go poo-poo on me and will continue to go poo-poo till its done so I had to do something to get my mind off of it... this is directly inspired by High Octane's BBQ layout... probably make a bad sign, but might make a good tee.. yes, I like the disembodied goofy chef head...

I like the chef's head too and I really did bust out laughing at that double dip slogan.
My daughter always complains about my son doing that.
hahahaha

Oh about the baby thing, I was thinking of having another one after seeing my niece's baby, one more isn't gonna hurt after having 4. Is this a surrogate thing or is this going to be done old school, if it's old school, I gotta warn you upfront, I'm not the prettiest man... I mean I'm not "Old Paint" in a green speedo, but I ain't George Clooney either. I'm more like George Clooney's porky mexican cousin 5 times removed...

Red X here too and I always imagined you looking like George Lopez, Rick.
Although George Clooney is also hot even if he porked up.

A red X? Phoooey!

Hey Jill, which George Lopez? in his show he was porky with longer hair, now he is now trim and groomed.

In my boredom I added different looks to Fred so I can have different goofy heads.... (sorry I'm an Angels fan...)

Rick, I like either.
And I absolutely love the Fred heads, especially the shriner one.
You have a wonderful offbeat sense of humor.

We (when I was working, sigh) used to build the wrap design into the wrap cost. Depending on the vehicle that was usually pretty cut and dry design work. Even *I* could do that, given some original artwork to play with.

From scratch stuff, though, I'd have to make my designer charge by the hour, simply because so much of designing a brand new logo is back and forth with the customer. It's odd, people say "design me a logo cuz I dunno how!!!!" and then also say "well I like it but! maybe we could add...".

A flat fee encourages a ridiculous amount of back and forth like this, in my opinion. Charging by the hour most of our customers would be more efficient and let us get our work done, in the end saving everybody money and time, including on the logo itself, usually (most designs were less than $500 and it rocked because they were done in a day or two and I could get to my job, printing 'em).
