Hey, the Huck-A-Buck sounds an awful lot better than the "Buck-A-Roo!" ugh lameness!
I would so help you out if I had the time (too much art to do right now), but if it's for a logo I will take FOREVER to make it since Im very nervous about that kind of thing. I took Graphic Design for a year, too, lol. Good luck man! If you dont hear from anyone at all, give me a shout & I'll try to give you a hand :)

Ha! You perfectionist you! I'm sure I'll find someone who can just knock this out for me. It doesn't have to be flash or anything after-all. Just a picture of a deer with hey, John Deere cap (it's farming country!) flipping a coin. I'm just rather pissed, more than, that this artist I basically saved from the streets last year hasn't been in touch. I know they could crank it out in their sleep. Very disappointing.

First thought? (if store is in the U.S.)

White background. Minimalist (fewest lines and curves needed to communicate idea) representation of a dollar bill (green rectangle lines in dollar bill aspect, tall green portrait space oval in center, green ovals with empty/white (1) in each corner signifying one dollar.

The tall oval in center contains a black-filled silhouette of the deer buck head from a Deer Xing road sign.

Not much antler detail needed, as that deer is in profile.

Pros:
* Deer head shape immediately recognizable to drivers, even at a distance, from the road out front of the store.
* Two colors design will grayscale/screen well with green elements of 25% gray for cheap repro/BW copy costs)
* Minimalist design can be rendered as vector art, to reproduce well at any size, even tiny.

Cons:
* This design doesn't say "huck-a-buck". To me the word 'huck' is to toss, chuck, throw something, but tossing a deer (deer flying through air upside down, legs straight out, motion lines) might look funny, but says nothing about the store. The symbol of a dollar bill says savings or discount store. Even if someone views this design as "Buck Buck" it will still be a symbol of 'save a buck' to many.


If you -were- doing the Buck-a-Roo store, the roo head from an Aus roo road sign would work in the portrait oval.

Well, the flash I get is of this cartoon buck looking sideways straight out wearing one of those typical farmer caps and flipping a coin. Oh yah, Canada, so a buck is a coin, Loony.

Hmm.. I was thinking of some kinda animal with huge buck teeth.. like a rabbit or a beaver. Overly-huge buckteeth.. and dress him in a Huck-finn hat and/or outfit. The flipping a coin idea is good, too.

Well, I dunno if anyone around here would get it. This is deer country though. Heh, I wonder how many of these farm-boys have ever read a book, never mind Mark Twain!
