Thank you for your entry.

#12 is a very high candidate for contest winner.
Here are some changes I will need:
Instead of the brown that is being used throughout the image, use black instead.
Change the dog collar to Brown or some other color.
Move the words " Dog Park" a bit lower (use reasonable spacing) and center those words to the image.
Make them a bit bigger because I want the public to clearly see that the sign is telling that this is a dog park (use reasonable font size).
Try placing one dog print to the right and one to the left of the words "Dog Park" (use reasonable placement, size and spacing)....I think that might bring an extra pop to your image.
Including all the changes I have mentioned above maybe you can try a version with the words "Fay-Woof-Ville" with a slight downwards arch.
Can't wait to see your re-submit.
Good luck....
Marvin Thomas
