BBQ logo

One aspect that we cater for are BBQ logos.BBQ championships are big business and if you don’t have a decent logo, well….are you really cookin??

A good BBQ logo can really help set the scene - in fact there is almost as much competition in BBQ logos as there are in the BBQ cook off!

Here are just a  couple of examples to whet your appetite.

So if you need a custom BBQ logo feel free to contact us - prices start fron US$175.

Caricature logo

Our caricature artists are a skilled lot. Not only can they create amazing images for wedding gifts, retirement gifts, save the date artwork, etc etc, but they can even turn their hand to caricatured logos.

Here is a recent job completed by caricature artist Rick

While we charge more for logos (they come under commercial art,) we are still very price competitive.

Have a look at our caricature logos page for more samples

Feel free to contact me if you have a logo idea to discuss.

Employee recognition caricatures

Recognizing the efforts of employees is something that successful businesses take the time and effort to do.

For many Employers, the challenge of finding something a bit different to recognise staff can be a bit of a challenge.

Caricature King works with several companies and educational institutions to provide an employee recognition caricature each month.

These prove very popular with all staff, not only those who receive the caricature, but their colleagues as well.

Call them “Employee of the Month”, or “Champion of the Month” - if you are looking for a way to recognise employees, a caricature is a great way to do it.

employee rewards caricatures

The feedback from this client says it all….

Matt,

The reaction we got from the employees was great.  Each one has enjoyed their caricature.  I especially like the detail that is put in to include aspects of their work and personal life.  My favorite so far is the one created for Dot in March!

Lots of laughs all around.  Good fun!

Simple black and white caricature

Here is a nice caricature drawn by artist Rick.

This simple approach is very appealing and will look great ina  black frame or even on a Tshirt.

As the client says “Matt- The caricature is perfect I appreciate the ease to which this was done and by the way you sure have a unique niche for what the electronic world can do these days. Again Thanks. jek

The caricature ordering process

I get the occasional email enquiry about the process of developing caricatures. So here is a brief overview.

1. The first step is in the hands of the customer - choosing which artist they like. This is made easier by looking at their sample pages.

2. Next the order form is completed and payment made. Yes we require prepayment as the volume of work means tracking deposits and part payments became impossible.

3. Next the source images need to be emailed. At this time if there are any questions from either the customer or here at Caricature King, they can be resolved. These can include firming up a concept idea etc

4. Next the artist will do a draft which is emailed to the customer. This allows the customer to see the artist’s interpretation and to have any changes made. Nine times out of 10 there will be no or only minor changes required.

This is what a draft from artist Rick looks like:

5. Finally the artist inks and colours the image.

As you can see the result is fantastic! This is then emailed to the customer. For US and Australian customers there is also the option of ordering a poster sized print or having the image professionally printed and framed.

Caricatures make great gifts. I have been to several events where caricatures have been given and the response from the recipient has always been fantastic!
