Much like the gathering of data, the circles around the comb are combining inside the bee hive where the information is consolidated into a drop of honey.")

While this design didn't meet with what the client wanted I am happy with the way this turned out and I can't wait to apply it in my personal projects moving forward.

The finishing touches include the second slimmer alligator, red tomatoes and a second patty on the burger, and the building has been adjusted slightly with a gray star and darker roof line. While this design didn't meet with what the client wanted I am happy with the way this turned out and I can't wait to apply it in my personal projects moving forward.

Here you'll notice that I also completely redesigned the milkshakes to mimic that of the real flavors (Cookies & Creme and M&M Candy Blast) from the actual menu.

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/130/130185/attachment_130185349 "Once I received notes from the potential client I quickly reworked the design and addressed a few areas of interest. I slimed down the alligators, completely reworked my design of the milkshake and gave it a new glass. I also moved the gators in closer to the burger... that burger is looking mighty tasty I must say! I finished off the design with a smooth line and white background finish.
Please remember that this design is 100% original and hand drawn. I transformed it all into vector shapes on the computer and there is no clipart like the other designers are using.")

I tweaked the side milkshake since it wasn't sitting as close to the words as I wanted... you'll notice it has one less pirouette than the one across from it.

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/130/130155/attachment_130155103 "Armed with additional feedback from the potential client I honed in on an arrangement and style they were looking for. While the cute alligator was nice they really wanted to go for a more realistic look. I beefed him up and now he looks like he's been enjoying a few of those burgers :) I also tweaked some of my milkshake to make it more uniform with the rest of the design.
My design is 100% original art and not saved clipart, which will pose a problem to the other designer who ripped it off and is trying to pass it as their own.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/130/130133/attachment_130133983 "This third pass at a logo concept played off the alligator and burger design that I created in my previous submission. I wanted to provide few arrangements or how the design could look since everything was adjustable. I really enjoyed adding a little red flair to bring everything together. I still wanted to pay homage to their cute alligator so you'll see he keeps the same appearance. I loaded up the milkshake with sweets and goodies since as evident on their Instagram Santa Fe is KNOWN for their amazing looking milkshakes.

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/130/130113/attachment_130113314 "After the initial brainstorming session was over and I received feedback from the potential client I refocused my approach on their current logo elements. The desire was to incorporate an alligator and burger into the design while possibly leaving room for a milkshake in the future.
With my new design I wanted to pay homage to their cute alligator they already had and get him in on the action of enjoying a burger and shake.

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/130/130063/attachment_130063003 "While in the process of brainstorming I like to research about the current project. My research took me to several articles and social media pages where I could see first hand the amazing food and atmosphere that made up the Burger Bar. I've always been fascinated with architecture and their building jumped out at me right away! I tried to capture it's likeness and worked it into my first design.
