I wish I could break free from the fast food chain myself. Stop before you start, be still my beating heart...

Cool, even the chips have faces. And I've always thought falafel was healty(er).
I think maybe some more detail in the heart? Maybe make it look like its about to explode, or at least make it look like its struggling. nice, one of the best in the contest so far

FWF!! - it's the comp, I know - so far one of the best - i think the food stands out better on navy (or charcoal) - but i kinda wish the heart was a little more "fleshed out" - maybe if it was drawn in red instead of white? with the face in black so it stands out more, (and the heart should be a wee bit larger, although the positioning is good)

Great concept, and the little food guys are awesome! I agree with the other comments above though, about wishing that the heart flowed in the same style as the characters.

HeyHay2989 on Dec 03 '06
Oh this is so cool! I'd have to agree with the others though, the heart should be the same style. But awesome all the same!

I like it. I almost think the shirt without the heart would be a better design. The two styles just don't mesh well in my opinion
Ausmoz

$5. I like the heart in the different style to the characters.
Ausmoz
Ausmoz on Dec 04 '06
Then again, the heart might look better in the same style.

What are you people talking about? The heart is PERFECT. This design needs no altering. Start the printing already!

FRICKINAWESOME on Dec 05 '06
Gorsh, I can't wait for this design to win if not the Fast Food Comp, then just a random after-competition win would suffice as well. Just mark my words, it shall be printed!!!! 5 and buy, easy.

I think I like the 3-D heart better. But the dark shirt makes the black outline hard to see which is a shame. Great illustrations though. Well done.

The "Let's all go to the lobby" song from the movie theater is now stuck in my head.

Thanks to everyone for the comments and votes.

nintechno- many thanks for your comments and posting this design on your profile page. I'm also partial to the original option as well, and I really appreciate your support.:)

No problem

This only scored a 2.08! WHAT!

Dear Threadless,

I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!

Your designs consistently get robbed. I don't see how anyone could be happy scoring this design anything less than a 3.
