Mid-Peninsula Animal HospitalLogo Design Contest

NOTE TO DESIGNERS: Thanks so much for participating in our contest; we're very excited with the submissions thus far. That said, what we didn't expect (and neglected to say in the creative brief) is that paw prints are also WAY over done in the vet industry ... as are red crosses (in addition to the cute puppy and kitten imagery, paw prints and red crosses are seemingly used by everyone). We're not ruling paw prints out completely, but any implementation of a paw print will have to be really unique, visually captivating, and 100% conceptually original ... something that gives an old standard like a paw print a whole new visual direction and lease on life, if you will. We hope that makes sense.

Again, thank you all so much and we're really looking forward to your continued creativity and originality. :-)

hum.. sorry but you didn´t say anything about paw prints. Anyway, I´ll try to get back with another options. Nat

thanks Fufe

eyefiber has created the best web 2.0 type logos here...excellent work from one designer to another.

Paw prints always remind me that I have to look for a clue...;D

Where is this contest holder go??? Don't you need to keep in touch with your designers here?
Just beware of idea collector who just collect from others idea to submit new 'bright' idea design...

eyefiber got his 3rd place though! he he he

So we DO need to put the animal images to give a "human/animal bond" to our logo! LOL~
Like this place, such a great place to have graphic-fun!

Just can't understand why they put the "web2.0" as one of the styles in the Contest Brief without enough descriptions about it... (should say how it's NOT suitable for such applications)
I see how it's getting many contest holders confused.

I think so.

"...we do not want a logo that features cute animal faces (no puppies or kittens, please). That whole design theme is way overdone in the veterinary industry". Preferences in style: WEB 2.0.

Why do CHs take the time to write their preferences if right after that they TOTALLY FORGET ABOUT IT. Designers take time to create something according to the brief for NOTHING. They should at least update the brief. I don´t understand this.

creative space - cooler than cool - great logo

These entries are great. For any further iterations, we would like the dog's face to reflect a more particular or noble or specific dog. There are many which reflect a generic labrador puppy face which we would like to move away from. Suggested breeds include: terrier breed like the sciottish terrier in #179 or an Irish terrier; a non-breed-specific "noble" adult dog, which could be done by a slight adjustment of the puppy ear and forehead, like the dog in #93; possibly a Border Collie; or maybe even a Greyhound or Borzoi. The cat is fine but, if it needs to change to make the dog work, think Abbyssinian cat. Thanks all.

hope my dog and cat are ok. =)
