I like the simplicity of this design but I don't love the dog and the squiggly thing on top of the building. What I do like is that the logo could stand on its own without the words if at some point I wanted to use it separately. I do like the green and orange combo. I realized I want to stay away from red or blue do to any possible political affiliations.
#19 is getting really close to what I'm looking for. I love the dog's face and the angle its head is turned, but can you get rid of the legs in front? I don't think they're needed. Also, the outline of the Capitol building is a little bit too abstract (I like it but it is such a big symbol in DC I think I need to stay pretty close to what it really looks like). I like the outline they use in this business' logo: www.bikramyogacapitolhill.com Also, if you can see the design I ranked second by another designer - can the colors be a little bit closer to that green and orange? Thanks!
