@Robin: I may try the & instead of a 5. If you look at the latest version (in the blog banner above) I have added the and just above the die. I think this works, but I will give your suggestion a try.

I do like the cartoony look, as it will flow with my further ideas, such as cartoon pictures of us Dorks. Plus it is much easier to screen print cartoon images, than it is to heat transfer photorealistic images.

And I love the cartoony look of the can. To me it’s reminicent of the TV show, which is where a lot of people were first exposed to the DnD world.

Might also look better with a different color than blue, like maybe red or reddish brown. The shield is so obviously “Heinz” but the change of color would hint to “Campbell’s Pork & Beans” or “Bush’s Baked Beans”.

Possible that it also may look better if the dice is beneath the can’s logo, like where other brands would put the image of a bowl of beans. (and remember that “dice” is plural, and you will need 2 or the grammar nazi’s will hunt you down with flaming pitchforks and kill you in your sleep)

Here are some more ideas:

Make the can’s logo a bit smaller, and put a bowl of beans beneath it, with cartoonish heads of all you guys…maybe one or 2 heads on a spoon if you can fit that.

Or a bowl of beans, with dice in it, instead of “dork heads”.

Or the bowl of beans can be next to the can and not on it, with either dork heads or dice in the bowl with the beans. If you use the dice that way, then they don’t need to be on the can at all.

And no, I don’t have an obsession with bowls and spoons in logos, it’s just that it worked perfectly for my blog, and it could work well for this one too, since both blogs have a food reference in their names.

@Darren: Woah Woah WOAH! Now let’s not get ahead of ourselves!
Do you really think that ‘the boyz’ should start to come up with design ideas? Most of YOU haven’t even written a single post yet. So let’s not get ahead of ourselves. It’s tough to ‘market the t-shirts’ on a blog that has on posts.

Let’s have everyone focus on creating some interesting posts and articles before they get involved in the design aspect. Not that I am keeping score but I have put together this entire site, designed a logo and created 6 quality posts, plus a few other misc items, and most of you were always asking, ‘Chris when are you going to have Dork and Beans up and running?

Well it’s up and running…where are the posts bitches? Yeah I am looking at you Darren, Adam, and Frew.

Darren you are not allowed to comment anymore until you write a post. If you need a topic let me know.

All in all, I like it.
