the thirsty moose sign but I can’t figure out why. And oh shit, just

realized I forgot the door handle. I’ll try to add that in sometime

It kinda looks out of perspective. I’m expecting the door to be pointing more to the left… almost looks like I’m looking straight at it.

I’d be more concerned about your logo on your coming soon page for Buddy Graphics. An old piece of advice my boss gave me years ago, was if you gotta stop, squint and figure…even for a moment when reading a sign or logo…it’s a
bad design. It’s a great whimsical idea…but I’d shift those blocks around a bit so it doesn’t look like "Bu dady Gr phics" at first glance.
Just a suggeston.

The door is the center piece of the graphic so it is ok to aim a bit into the center or be a bit out of "perspective" to make your eye go there, which it does. It’s a nice graphic.
However, I agree that your biz logo really needs some help. Maybe get some dimension to it and reposition the blocks to make it a bit more readable.

Pretty simple, make sure that the "U" and the "A" are more apart and more part of the words they belong to.

has great promise..i like it especially the sign… i think the lower right of the door could be raised slightly to make it look inline with the walls also the lintle above the door looks tacked on and not quite right. needs more angle and a 3d look so the door looks on an angle and not looking at you…hope that makes sense.

also the shadow of the lintle is wrong..it is coming from up and to the right.. i think it should be from up and to the left… that might change the perspective to be inline with the door
