K9's for CopsLogo Design Contest

Strong, masculine with high visibility.
Select if you like horizontal or vertical placement of the paw symbol.

Anatomically correct paw. (Slightly stylized)
Gun metal blue gradient and some gloss on paw
A masculine tight font that breathes: 1. law enforcement 2. technical 3. precise

My ambition here was to make something that all the trainers and staff would be proud to wear on a Tee or on a sweater. Also without making it into a police-badge, but with a strong branding that fraternize with the idea of a strong law enforcement.

I deliberately left out the "'s" in K9's. Why? Simply because it makes more logic and is easier to get a well balanced logo without it. I can of course include it if you like, but then the K9 will become slightly smaller.

All my work is based on CMYK (printing colour space) in order to keep the exact (or as close as possible) match in print as you see on screen. Also I take in consideration all possible applications when designing; business cars, stationary, stickers, tee's and so on. All to give you freedom of choice.

Hope you like it.

Regards
Robert O. Akerman

Vertical version

B/W - this is to show that it still looks strong and good even as black on white paper

Red version - Maybe for a bransch like; K9 for FIRE?

K9's with the 's... still I think it is no need to include it in the logo - even if it might be in the company name.

On B/W back

A horizontal version of the "K9'S"

Both horizontal and vertical version are selectable via layers in the vector file. You just activate or inactivate respective layer.

Larger paw closer to text and slightly tilted may make a more relaxed impression - if you want to move away from a strict law enforcement style.

With a modern contemporary shield in the background.

Still well balanced and tight design
