Well, quick directional shift... Client decided to scale back on most of the details in the initial...but we kept the base, and went black / typographic instead.
I am going to miss that little wine glass...but I'll just have find a way to sneak him in somewhere else ;)
I really like this. I'm expecting the menu to open in a sort of stop action/claymation-styled manner and show me what's available. :p You're onto something with this approach.
The texture is beautiful, the attention you've paid to all details makes me love this icon. True, the little wine glass was catchy, but, in my opinion, the idea of a menu is much better related with the name, the "Restaurant Menu".
Great job, Michael!
@Don Ciuchete - Thanks a lot Don! The name is actually going to be "Le Menu", so of course your point is still 100% valid...just a wee bit more French ;)
Indeed, this one is less elaborate perhaps, but also probably a bit more on point...
I really like this. Great textures; although I think the page curl of the front cover doesn't look rounded enough at the corner. I second the question about the typeface.
Digging the textures used for the cover, though i second Matt's comment about the page curl on the cover. It does feel unrealistic because of the curve.
@Paul Jackson / Matt Walton - For the "Le" it's hand drawn. Glad you like it! Also, valid point about the page curl > actually think I had it a bit rounder and then decided to back it off for some reason... I may revisit it just in case.

Is the "Le" from a typeface or is it hand drawn? It's beautiful.

the black brings out the page curl a lot more, a great improvement overall.
