Here's the latest test for my mascot, with a dog on the end of his pitchfork.

Who's Radar and why does he have a hot dog obsession?

*stinker*

A

Why does the dog have no pants? He wants to be Donald Duck? All I can see is the no pants. I think I need a shrink. Or a shag. Couldn't the dante be on a name tag on a collar?

You know very well that the dog-pant making industry is in a slump. You can't buy doggie-pants, no, not even for ready money.

Yea, it must be a girl dog since it has no penis on the dog. All male dogs that stand up like that would have a visable penis. Give it a girl name. How about el dante. :)

So, Radar, aside from your really-thoroughly-thought-out branding, how's the rest of the plan going? Do you have a move date yet? Does Uncle Manny know you're coming?

I think A-dogs eyes looked crazed, and B-dogs eyes are distant, and uncaring. Could he be looking ever so slightly towards his target audience?

If his eyes moved around, that'd be cool.

ditto

I think A's look "dreamy" and B's are distant - agree with the straight at the customer approach.
Is it me, or does the writing on the t-shirt look a little cheesy? I agree w/ maybe put it on a dog tag? Maybe put flames on the shirt?

I'm writing this from Uncle Manny's computer. I've been living in Florida for 3 days. :)

My wife and dad want me to do IT work and start the cart part-time, but I don't see how you can run a business part-time. I posted my resume and I'm getting a lot of interest for IT work. I've talked at great length about the hot dog business with my uncle Manny.

I went to the coolest hot dog cart I've ever seen yesterday. He was even selling my favorite hot dog (Best's Kosher) but soon he will have no more dogs because Sara Lee stopped making Best's Kosher.

When's your first day out with his cart?

Figure B's cock looks like a cursor... oh wait!

never mind.

Almost done with Dante now.

Here he is in color. Only a few fixes to make.

Radar, remember that in business, the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. People aren't buying your logo. They're buying your hot dogs (assuming you get to that point).

I agree that the main thing should be the main thing. I also believe in measuring twice and cutting once. By planning ahead of time and setting up a good branding and marketing strategy, I will stand out from other hot dog carts.

I intend on creating USP (Unique Selling Points) that make my cart a value and attract customers and make them loyal to my brand.

In otherwords, decent graphics go a long way.
