Since no one else replied yet... I'll give it a go!

Looks to me like something wrapped in foil - I'm thinking aspirin, condom, or alka seltzer.

Did I get it?!?!?!

[josvandel]

condom for sure

[vtwin_gary]

i'm goona give this a bump since i posted so late last night.

[Kool]

It looks like Alfred E Neuman upside down :)

[morea]

^ lol, it does!

I was thinking a pill in that foil wrap stuff. Doesn't a condom make more of a ring shape than a circle?

[balou]

I thought of an aerial shot of a moon crater - more with the vector version though. The raster version does look like a condom package.

[vtwin_gary]

well...it is going to be a condom package, the thought was there but i'm not quite good enough to illasrtate it. any suggestions what would make it better?
maybe with the text it is plain enough. maybe not.

here's the deal:

It's a sucker without the stick.

I think that on a condom package you can see a ring shape more clearly... it's thicker around the edges than it is in the middle... like this:

i was trying not to but the emboss in the center, it was making it hard (no pun intended) to read. i was hoping with the text i would be satisfied (man there are alot of jokes in this one) but i'm not really sure.

[Schmitty]

I would say the color should be different. I dont think of grey when I see condoms. The grey makes it look more like a moon. Although I did see a condom right away.

[MyST]

I like the first one.

*goes to check wallet*

Yeah, definitely the first one. If you could make the center slightly more concave, it would be even better, I think.

You need to provide your own stick.

[vtwin_gary]

I like the first one.

the first one was raster, i need it to be fewer colors.
i guess the question is with the text added is there any association problems. i think it is obious enough. do you?

[smashmiester]

When I think condom, I think green wrapper. Red could work too, but I'd move away from the grey- too moon like.

Also, the packages usually have ridges all the way across 2 sides like this.

What you have in the middle is kind of throwing me off.

Here are some old condom packages I found while I did a quick search. they are pretty funny... http://tinyflowers.com/2006/condoms/nutexradium.htm

When it's got the word "condom" printed on it, it is instantly a condom, but I saw a mirror in a grey frame at first.

You should do a some small print and a expiry date. What's a condom without an expiry date?....that sounds like the first half of a joke...well it's not.

[JaCkinbOx]

Hold on, let me scan one of my Magnums for reference.

[JaCkinbOx]

Hold on, the wrapper's a little big. I might have to do two scans and combine them.

Just take a digital photo Jack :D
