Top Three Things to Communicate through our Logo:

#3 - We need your help (adoption, volunteer, financial support) to continue our mission.
Our Target Audience:
Our target audience is animal lovers, dog enthusiasts, pet philanthropists and those interested in serving their community. We work specifically in the greater Southwest Florida region (Tampa Bay through Fort Myers). We specialize in small dog rescue (under 25 lbs) accepting all breeds. Our adopters range from retirees to newlyweds, singles and families.
Styles that we are interested in:
Pictorial Mark

A pictorial mark uses literal or representative imagery to symbolize the brand. Famous examples include:

Emblem

An emblem features the name of the company typically enveloped by a pictorial element or shape. Famous examples include:

Character

A Character logo consists of a mascot to represent the brand. Please note that Character illustrations are extremely time intensive for designers, and for the best results the prize should be at least $400-$500. Famous examples include:

Please note that the above brands are in no way, shape, or form associated with LogoTournament. They are cited as examples under Fair Use for the enrichment of the general public's knowledge of the graphic arts.

Color Preferences:
We like blue, white and grey. Although we are open to anything, red or yellow does not seem likely to suit us.
Our Ideas and Additional Information:
One of our founders painted our first logo, a dog sailing on a raft, looking for a home. Visit our website: www.caninecastaways.org or see attached to view. We are ready to move forward to a more modern and universal logo that will translate well online, on t-shirts, letterhead, printed materials, etc.

The slogan is provided for your benefit, and is not required or needed in the logo. In other words, use it if you can, or leave it out if you deem it un-necessary. Thanks!

Please be sure to visit our website: www.caninecastaways.com to see our original logo (dog on a raft looking for a home). This was sketched, created and painted by one of our founders and we'd like to see a logo that is in keeping with this.

We are very open to new, modernized versions of our original concept. Thank you!

Our spokesdog, Uno, was the first dog rescued by Canine Castaways. He is a black chihuahua with a white chest It would be interesting to see some logos using his likeness.

The logos are all good and a final decision will be tough. Shared the top ranked logos as of yesterday with our board members and the majority wanted to see more personality.

If we could get a few more they would like to see:
1. some character type logos, maybe dogs with faces
2. short hair and shaggy dog
3. castaway dogs on an island
4. fun and colorful

Main thing is to stick with the castaway theme. Since our existing logo has been with us for 7 years, there is a preference for a dog and a raft.
