Happiness is GoldenLogo Design Contest

As mentioned, just trying to narrow my ranked category down a bit and clarify my thinking. Just wanted you to know the thought process.

Going to move this to prefer others. Still like the medallion approach, but now prefer your new illustrations if you want to mix the two approaches. Maybe use the head on dog face from your entry number 128 here instead? Like to see it if you have time to do it.

Like the more straightforward type. Happiness gets a bit harder to read here. Maybe too much with the outline.

Prefer the colors in the others. Thanks for the iterations.

If you look up our golden dog farm project, you will see there is an emblem on the barn - like a star. Could you do this version, with that as the symbol dotting the i on the bandana?

Like lots of things about this one. The more puppy like feel of the illustration. The eye closed versus illustrated in your previous entry (#31). The visible tail. Also appreciate the star dotting the "i" in the bandana. Thank you!

After reviewing things all again, and in a bit more in depth, what I like about this idea is the prominence of the word happiness, and the way "is golden" is treated. In this iteration, I don't mind that the type "is golden" is in gold as it ties it back to the illustration, which given the lower emphasis on those words relative to happiness is helpful.

See my comment on #5, but wanted to highlight that I do not like the type in gold.

Of your three options, this is my favorite. Like the happiness of the dog - and can see how the round logo could work as a emblem.
