Cockadougaldoo. IMO the rooster likes a little lifeless. Punch him up a little and maybe include some negative space in the feathers or maybe a woodcut effect.

Thanks for the suggestion, firebrand! The owner of the restaurant actually drew the rooster in college and is really attached to it. I'm going to see if he'll at least let me clean it up a little. I'll repost if I'm able to get a crack at it. I freaking %3Cb%3Elove%3C/b%3E your woodcut idea though.

after seeing the mark, i was going to say the rooster would it would look nice if were bigger, maybe the squawk, could be different and the rooster larger? just a suggestion, by the way i thought that people dont really eat roosters that often?

Overall it's nice. Personally, I think %22McDougal's%22 should be slightly larger to stand out a little more, but that's a personal preference.

@nattiemon - Thanks for the suggestion! I struggled with making the rooster larger, but it seemed to get a little tight within the circle. I'll keep working on it.**@sdijock - Thanks for the nice words. That's a good call and I've wondered if the client will say the same thing - not to mention needing to be kerned a little better.

Thanks for the comments, guys! McDougal's definitely makes some tasty chicken.**I just uploaded a new image with a couple of changes. The name is bigger, the red outer circle is bigger, the yellow core is smaller with the rooster being smaller too. Seems to read better. Still working on it...
