They were thinking of a trippy smiley face eating a hotdog, which I obliged with some cosmic vibes included.

A logo that I designed for Cosmic Dogs, a hot dog cart that the client was opening.

Oh, that's delightful! Nice weight on the linework of the graphic, it actually fits the weight of the font. (you wouldn't believe how often I see mismatches between logo and fonts in stylized designs like yours...)

Thanks for pointing the title out! I have replaced it with your suggestion

I don't understand is the face in a helmet? In front of a helmet? Why is it melting to the right?

A common trippy trope is objects melting. The most famous example of this is Salvador Dali's melting watches.

Another good example is eating mushrooms

That's where the inspiration comes from, yes. I don't know what drugs Dali was on.

Probably lots

Yeah but it's dripping down. Why is it also dripping to the right?

Very cool. Hard to decide which version I like better honestly

I think it looks great. Only critique I would make is the space helmet looked like a planet at first and I kinda liked thinking it was a planet over a space helmet.
But the face is perfect and the melting spatter part of it is perfect for a hot dog stand. Especially if they got condiment pumps.
All around great logo.

Thank you for your feedback! I can definitely understand why you would see the helmet as a planet at first

The logo looks great, the title is total gobbledegook.

Nice job...

I don't know anything about logo artwork, but I know I love this! I also love how unexpected it is for a hotdog cart, in a good way. Don't think I've seen anything like that before (again, I mean this in a good way!). Really nice work.

Looks good. Are you new to graphic design out of curiosity?
JohneryCreatives@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 105d
Nope, been doing this for some time
Nindelofocho@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 106d
I love it. Very inspiring for me

A logo should work as a black-and-white, and it should be scalable. While this is cute, it doesn't work as B&W, and it isn't scalable.
Yeah, I'll get downvoted. But it's a hard truth.
filcuk@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 106d
It's true, it just may not apply here. There's no reason to make a whole design language and account for websites, merchandise and other products if we know the logo is going on a hot dog stand banner.
The real truth is that, if they ever expand or branch out, they can invest more to have the logo reworked for their new ventures.

how does this not work as black and white?
it would be dumb simple to make this black and white....

I don't like this opinion, but as a business owner and a business on their second logomark revision, I agree. There are times when you're getting an etching done on a metal mug or small item and colors can't cut it.
I love the logo as is, but I suggest you need a B&W version.
JohneryCreatives@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 106d
That's a good point, thanks for sharing your perspective as a business owner

How is this not scalable?
Hoimo@ani.social · 2 pts · 106d
If you scale this down, the hot dog is the first to disappear into a blur. That's not great for a hot dog stand.
And it's not only about making it small, things also appear small when they're far away. You want your logo to be recognizable from 2 blocks away or from the top floor of a skyscraper. That's where distinct outlines and strong contrasts come in. It's no problem to lose a little detail, but a logo shouldn't become a blob.
Makhno@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 106d
Nah dude this logo is way more memorable
zarkanian@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 106d
Sure, but that's also how you get mega-boring logos like two triangles or a single letter. What if they deleted everything in the background, leaving just the face and the hot dog?

It isn't in Co(s)mic Sans though

You somehow forgot a whole word in the title.
