    I like more understated t shirts. Something that you actually have to look at to see what is going on.

    Bangshift.com is a great place for shirt ideas.

        Hi Catherine,

        (who's that guy in the photo?)

        I like the front and strongly agree that the company logo on the front, especially if you do pocket-t's (put the Thermo-pop in the pocket - see?) is a standard.

        I think that your premier product, i.e., the SnS should be incorporated on the back. ( Good advertising probably = tax write-off ).

        I agree with most of mackdaddy's post about ABC's of BBQ. Most of us "get it" anyway, but,

        SnS + kettle = mean, lean, cookin' machine!

        So, you could do a graphic of the SnS, "+ sign", graphic of kettle "= sign", Mean, Lean, Cookin' Machine!

        I'd buy it.

        I like the Kettle on the back.

        I would ditch all current writing on the back and put some variation of the following:

        Adrenaline BBQ Co. (above the kettle)

        Home of the Slow 'n Sear (below the kettle)

          Round 2. Front is the same (ABC logo). Here is a different "riff" on the back. The text below the kettle is barely legible and the font would definitely change. It says "Making neighbors jealous since 2015". We also need to change the color text of "Slow 'n Sear" - I'm thinking black/orange (or for black shirts silver/orange).

          Thoughts?

            MUCH BETTER

            But I'd consider ditching "since 2015"

            Ditto with the "since 2015." BTW just ordered my own SnS today to go with my Webber 22.5" kettle that's on its way.

          Making needs to be Makin' as in "I was down on the farm, makin' bacon know what I mean?"

          Just like Cap'n Crunch, no unnecessary letters.

            Is there anyway to see the SnS better in the kettle since that is the main product? All I can see is the part down the middle.

              I agree, I'm missing any reference to your company. A url, or anything really. As mackdaddy says, I'm left hanging. Also, how does it look in black? Testing a logo/design in white and black is always strongly recommended. Third: In my personal opinion colors could be less 'crayon'. To add some constructive feedback; why don't you utilize the SnS in there? It has a nice geometric shape (I can envision a letter 'C' if seen from above). See attached image, just threw it together as an example. Ignore fonts and colors, of course.

              Also, it is really cool of you to ask for feedback for your designs. That takes courage, way to go! And good luck, whatever you decide. Just bought the SnS, will go for the T-shirt when it is ready also.

              OK here's version 2. If you guys have any artistic skills feel free to throw out some different graphics options!

                Here's another top of my head idea on the product (as opposed to the company), here I'm playing with the symbolical symmetry of the acronyms:

                Again, ignore fonts and colors.

                Thanks for uploading version 2, will mull over it and see if I can think of something. Fun thread!

                  I like this graphic, but I don't know what it means to need an SnS. What if I have a stick burner? How about...

                  SnS ( graphic ) + kettle ( graphic ) = Silhouette of crowd of happy people eating / cheering about BBQ. and below it...

                Absolutely love the slogan on the back! Could you perhaps add some space before and after the 'n' (in Slow n Sear) to increase readability? Other than that, cool! I like Jerod Broussard suggestion about Makin' as opposed to Making. It is more consistent with the 'n' in the product name also.

                  Ditto to what CandySueQ said. Also, I think the kettle may be too busy, so I would remove the meat.

                    Ya know, Catherine , David Parrish , et. al, with all of our differing tastes, and folk like me, with NO asthetic taste, you'll never get it done by committee. LOL

                    But so far, some GREAT suggestions!

                      Yeah but the ideas are giving us ideas, so this is great. Keep them coming!

                    How about taking out the "making neighbors jealous" blurb and putting the following text at the bottom of the graphic?

                    We didn't invent the kettle. We just perfected it.
