I took a week off and went down to Cornwall and again got all the juices flowing (Molson Canadian) I had about 3 hrs a night sleep and I was going to do a bunch of design work there! (NOT) well after aweek of recovering and finally getting back into the design grove I need your suggestions on this design
it was a struggle.

by the way I did make changes on the race car t-shirt I had posted when some suggested a colour change...sometimes when you work alone it is hard to see things.


thanks for your help

I love the design. I feel totally not worthy to critique any of your work, but what the heck. The dark pink color on the woman is drawing my eye right to a "hole" where her arm is. I wonder if you tried the pink color in a lighter shade, or if it was a light almond color, it would recede more to blend with the rest of the graphic and let your eye continue on to the lettering. Just a thought.

I do love it though, and hope someday to be able to produce work like that myself. Thank you for posting, by doing so you are allowing people like myself to learn.

Not bad for an amateur. ONLY KIDDING!

There is not way that I would ever attempt to critique your work. It all looks great.

I got to see Doug in action in Cornwall...and he is not only good, he is fast! And besides all of that, he is just a good guy.

Doug It's a really nice logo this my humble opinion I think the purple outline is a little thick, or maybe the black letters are a little to thin it looks awesome please take no offense.

I am humbled as well! This is one gorgeous design!

Since you asked...

My eye was drawn to the "and" in the "W" and I thought the "W" was a "V"...at first glance...I would have made the "and" lower case or less powerful than the "Bath" and "Wick." But that's just me hahah!

I gotta say, this is one really nice logo!

Beautiful!

haha ... just clicked on it and my son says "hey, what's that with my name in it" ... his name's Nick

Fantastic design (as usual), but (always one haha), I find the text kinda confusing ... maybe it's how it all swooshies together ,or the outline, or combination of both.

-{edit}----
and that doesn't look much like a log either ... (someone had to be the pr**k to say it ... hahaha)

Beautiful design. The flowing continuity with the soft colors goes together for bath and candles: so relaxing. I make candles when I have time and that is another reason I like the design. What program do you use?

This is one of the reasons that I use
this bullboard for your comments on the design, not only do I thank you for the
good comments but I took all the comments you made and reworked them. I find it tough to design by myself, there is always the other eye that sees something different.
Thanks for making my design even better...I wish I could pay you all...but i can't.!!!!
