Can any of you great Farkers create a sticker for me. There are a group of firemen that are called FireDogs. Can some of you design us a sticker?


Thanks!

This is what I got for an idea. It's transparent so it would be easy to convert to a sticker. Hope this helps.

Any background information? Any prefence on the type of dog? Any particular fire department? How many colors or full color? Bumper sticker size?

Just kidding. I'll make something real for you a bit later. Still any additional pertinent information to help direct my ideas would help.

something small 3.5" in size. Color doesn't matter. Maybe a bulldog (cartoon or not) as the dog. I'm picturing the Marine bulldog for some reason.
I will give you guys some ideas, thats not saying We don't like what has already been created. Many Thanks Again.

These bulldog "firedogs" logs came up in Google images:






As well as two others that are too large to post

Creating a logo can be difficult. I am assuming from your posts, that is what you had in mind. It is fairly easy to make a composite of several previously created elements. It is another story make something from scratch. Here is one such composite. I changed some of the colors and played with made slight edits but nothing is really new. To create a more shadows on the dog would entail a process called digital painting which I cannot do well.



To get a new bulldog image, that would have to be done by hand. I don't know if I have the talent to create something like that but I know I don't have the time. Now if you found another dog logo you liked, I could change this out quickly as I have it saved in layers.

If you like this and there are specific elements you would like changed, let me know and I will do my best to accomodate you.

I discovered a plugin that can apply shadows similar to digital painting. Here is the result:

Just to warn you, that last one posted is a copyrighted logo for the Mississippi FireDogs. May need permission to use it.

Although probably no one will cause a scene since it's been disassembled for quite some time.

thanks for the heads up.

Can you remove the Maltese cross and just have the dog and a firehelmet or something fire related on him. It doesn't even need to say FIREDOGS on it anywhere.

Maybe a bulldog head with a helmet on it

Thanks for being patient with me Tim and the rest of you.

The previous poster was not referring to my logo. As I stated before, it was not done from scratch but I put the parts together. Each element existed previously but not together. Also, the coloring my last bulldog was totally mine. You will not find that color scheme elsewhere.

Since it is not a totally original creation, you won't be able to sell it for profit. But you shouldn't have any problems using it for personal use.

If you liked anything specific that I did, let me know. I don't mind helping people try to recreate what they see in their heads but I don't want to spend a lot of time working on something that isn't desired.

If you google search bulldog logo, you should be able to find a lot of stock images. I can color one the way you want and add a hat or cross or whatever you desire. But I cannot create a totally new cartoon dog from scratch.

Hey Tim. Can you use any of the pics I posted of the USMC bulldogs and remove their hat and add a firehelmet?

Here is what I have for you. Believe me when I tell you this was difficult. It isn't my original artwork but a composite of several and then blending the styles. It would probably have been easier to freehand it by scratch but I already had made quite a bit of progress when I came to this realization. It still isn't quite print quality. I can add color too if you wish. Let me know if you like this image and I will do some more work on it.
