Hi Anna, Thanks for all your hard work. Here's what I'm thinking. The original design you did, #1, has the best copy. The bottom of the logo (excluding the dog and the dog's rectangular sign) really looks like a classy boutique sign. However, I still don't like the dog. Not sure it would work, but what about taking the dog from #13 (my favorite, great personality) and putting the tux from #5 on her, without the hat, and inserting her into #1? Another idea is the dog from #5 without the hat in #1? I know the two logos have different styles but maybe you can make it work. Thanks again.
P.S. The ballerina skirt idea is cute but it isn't clearly conveyed. To hard to tell what it is.
P.P.S. Please see the update to my contest.
