Here is my initial logo for your consideration. I wanted to give it a warm & friendly feel, while still being modern and professional. I also thought this as a sign/logo would look great with your shop setup (white paws on awnings, the inner colors, etc.)
I added some new variations with a "dp" logo on the tag. The nice thing about this logo is the d and the p are the exact same shape, but flipped/reversed--making for a very pleasing to the eye overall look.
This logo is definitely sparking my interest! It will look nice with the awnings. My only concern is that it may be a little too bright. May I see some color variations? The outside of the building is stone and taupe. The awnings are not going to be a bright green--more of a soft green. Thank you!
Here is a new concept I came up. It combines a paw print and some organic materials inside of a crest/coat. This crest could be used on certificates awarded to dogs/owners who finish the training program. You could even have variations on the crest (gold, silver, bronze) for different levels of training completed.
It could also be used through out the store as signage for items, or with pricing inside of it, or even as a crest on employee uniforms.
If this idea happens to be something you want to pursue as your final logo, I would be happy to provide additional multiple files/variations at the conclusion of the contest (Free of charge, of course).
Thank you for your new designs. I am eager to get a closer look at them, however, every time I click on page 2 to view your recent designs, I get sent back to the logotournment home page. I sent an email to logotournament to let them know about the problem. Hopefully they will resolve it immediately.
Sounds good. I am at work, so I can not help from here. But if it's not resolved by 4pm central, let me know and I can email them to you. That way you can see them larger and in more detail...
