Train-Blues BBQ Logo Design

I’m opening a barbecue joint called “Gitdown Crossing” and need a primary logo that will work on the front door, sauce labels, menus, and t-shirts. The concept blends steam-era railroads with down-home blues, so the artwork has to feel lively, fun, and instantly recognizable.

Core imagery
• A classic steam locomotive as the backdrop
• Two cool pigs in sunglasses, each holding a guitar, posed as though they’re jamming on stage
• The restaurant name “Gitdown Crossing” worked prominently into the composition

I can share several reference photos and sketches to jump-start your creative process, but I’m also open to your own spin on colors, textures, and typography.

Deliverables (all in vector and high-resolution raster formats)
1. Full-color master logo (AI, EPS, PDF, layered PSD, PNG with transparent background)
2. One-color and grayscale variations for stamps and embroidery
3. A sizing guide showing safe-use zones for door signage, labels, and apparel
4. Font and color palette specs so I can keep future merchandise consistent

Acceptance criteria
• Artwork stays legible when scaled down to 2" wide
• Clean outlines suitable for screen printing and vinyl cutting
• Final files unlocked and editable

If this sounds like your jam, I’d love to see a quick portfolio link or a rough concept direction before we dive in.
