shirt design, maybe

[slappy]

doing some BBQ shirts for a family friend.... any suggestions with this direction i'm going???

trying to keep it to 2 color on a sport grey color shirt
and yes, he wants a "steer" cause he is cooking them more then chicken

ps. i'm aware i got 2 shades of black. that was an accident, but you get the idea

looks really good, but the BBQ letters are really hard to read - maybe black outline?

Pretty cool.

The orange letters kind of get lost, so it feels like I'm reading the fourth line in an eye test:

AR E UE

Other than that, I think it's pretty cool. Nice job.

maybe i'm not doing a bright enough orange in the design before i posted., here it is on a white background

Is that supposed to be the sun in the background? I think it would look better without it.

I just think the black text stands out too much. From a distance, your eyes will only "read" the black text.

okay.... i'w tweak it a bit and be back later with the suggestions.. thank you all much!

I see no benefit or purpose to spelling barbeque in two colors. I think is should just stay black.

What font did you use for the name? I like it a lot.

Try an outline the orange in the file with black. It may show better.

+1 was going to suggest the same thing.

That steer has really got to go.

i agree .
i would outline the text in the second color if you want to make it two colors.
the orange will get lost in any color other than darks colored shirts so you will need a contrast to keep the image sharp. if you put it on dark shirts though you will need a base coat of white so you trun it into a three color job.
