The Best of Friends!

It really isn't meant to be too huge a design... the characters would lose a lot if they were too huge. Big and bold is usually better reserved for designs with lots to see. So yeah, it's probable that I mocked it a bit larger than intended... more than anything, I just have trouble getting a real feel for proportion on the "drawn" blanks.

I completely trust you guys on the size if it goes to print. It's an SVG file at the moment, so it'll be simple to scale to your needs (on either your end or mine), and I don't think anyone will mind a smaller graphic for a piece like this. If necessary, though, I'll be happy to put a more "realistic" mock together and add it to the submission later tonight.

i personally would like it better if the design is not too large. perhaps i am the not the "in your face" kinda guy? ;O)

Thanks for the support, Jaden. I'd kinda hoped it might find its way to print during prime baseball-and-grilling season, but neither is done yet, so there's still time. If it's meant to be, it will be.

I certainly feel this one is being overlooked, especially with how long it's been here. The friendship angle is obvious, the color play is fun, and really, who isn't into the favorite American pastime of baseball? Plus, the design shows fun in a way that can both be a message of friendship or simply just a good time had by all.

All set and updated. Not a huge update, just a little moving on the arm. Also, updated the colors with the new template, but kept the same basic shades. Nothing really new, just altered minorly

@AdderXYU: when you're done fixing it, you can upload the design. Just let us know! Cheers!

Hehehe, I wish I can bring my own hotdogs to the games. Their prices in there are just killer! I'd like this on the green please!

You are probably right, Truffle. I can pretty easily fix this in the print ready, thankfully.... shocked I never even thought of that. Thanks for the heads up!

I also think this design is very cute...and I know this is also a rather silly thing to be bothered by, but I think one of the hot dog's arms is inside the bun(attached to the hot dog) and one is outside the bun. Is that right or am I just looking at this wrong?

I love their expressions. You can tell they're having a good time.
It sounds strange, but it really bothers me that their shoes look so exactly the same, but are different sizes.
I really really like it though, especially the mustard on the hot dog. I like it best on orange.

I think it's more than anything a feel-good design, as well as hinting at friendship and teamwork. I can respect that you feel it's not as inspirational as some, but I think it still has a place.

Thanks, everyone, for the votes so far

I agree with orange but I'm not sure how this inspires change. Maybe soy-dog like someone suggested, or something about community at sport events, the idea that ball-games are very local...

Nathan: I can see how text might tie things together better, but I don't think it's vital to the concept. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Boots: You can't say that's not a Soy Dog. It's been artificially coloured to look like the real thing!

Thanks for the comments and votes, everyone

Not much of a baseball fan but I do love hotdogs.

It looks great on the orangey colored tee. I vote for that one.

Also this design would speak to me more if that were a soy dog and a roller skate. I'm really very un-American, I know. :)
