I would like #1 drawn up solely for selfish reasons.  That's exactly the tattoo I've got rolling around in my head to commemorate my current obsession with coffee... :)

Thanks for taking the lead on this HC4U

I'm like it fellas, and since I missed out on the t-shirts (have no idea how that happened) I am in need of some merchandise!

A coffee bean trailing flames. The bean would be green toward the front fading to a roasted color near the trailing flames.

I like the flaming bean idea best also so that's what I'm pursuing.

Okay. Sorry for the delay in getting this posted. Been sick and had some family issues.

I got the first proof from the artist with some variation on the flaming coffee bean design. Vote by the number(s) you like best. This may be better done as a poll.

For me, this sounded much better than it looks.  Flaming bean is not doing it for me.

Don't blame the artist. ;D He is going by my sketches and design notes.

I am not blaming the artist--the image just doesn't click for me, and now that I've seen it, I am not sure any combo will work.

I like the use of color in 6 better but the font and lettering in 4... the color of 6's letters is a little light maybe a shade of green from a little further back in the bean...

That said I think I lean a little toward Chad on this... the flaming bean will be great on the gas tank of our Orange county GCBC chopper (the one we auction off for Coffee Kids) butI think it sounded better than it looks...

I just wanted to bump this thread and see if anyone might have some other ideas to pursue with my graphic artist.  I still like the #5 flaming bean, but I'm going to have him tweak the green color of the bean and lettering to more something more like 2 or 3.

Going in a different direction, I found some bag-related clip art that I think has potential:



With Cafe Press, we don't have to limit things to one design or logo.

If you could come up with something like this for artwork I could get behind the process.
