I like the way you intergrated the log with my name by using his collar as the dot for the I. I'm at odds with the stop sign because I want everything to be about movement. The dog is a little too cute and I'm looking for a font that's more unusual.
Is there a way you can make the dog a little fluffier (like the photo I included) and find a font a tiny bit more serious; just a tiny bit. Also, and this might ruin it but it might be worth a try, could you add a leash, so there's a suggestion of the dog pulling someone to get a move on.
check the font here and the leash - I like the scruffy dog - but still might want to work a bit more on making it look a bit more like your dog... i want a simple graphic representation rather than a 'portrait'!
I think you got it right the first time... but I would like to try one more thing: I like how you have the leash connected to the D in Diane -- I would never have thought of that. How about the making the D a little larger than the S in Silverman and having the leash pulling it forward. Could you try another font? I don't like the e's and a's in the second font; but it's got the right general feel. Also, the fluffy dog doesn't work; how about a shaggy dog?
Need to fix the feet on the shaggy dog but let me know if you like the fonts and if I am on the right track... sorry did not have time to fix that today I have to go look at some dogs to get it right - have a friend who has one similar to the picture... am going to go look at it's feet a bit!
Well, I'm still liking #36 the most because of the sense of movement and fun. But I don't love the font. I went searching for other fonts and found a few that might work: Alie, ITC Arid, Honey Script and Scriptina Pro. What do you think?
I looooove the font on #55. The dog is missing his nose and the "l" in Silverman is kind of tangled with the dog. If you can either move the dog to the right or make the l loop smaller that would be great. And can you make the tag line larger or will that spoil the balance?
Diane... glad you still like this design the best - let me know if you want to see any other versions or tweaks of the logo... also if you want to review how a 1 color version would look ( for when it is photocopied or etched)
