The merged image of hand cuffs with one of the cuffs being represented by a dog collar, symbolises the link between inmate and canine. The font is masculine yet classy, with the overall logo representing the values and seriousness of the organisation.
#15 - I like this but the graphic is the same size as the typeface - what if the graphic were smaller so that the name was the most prominent. Also, what about having the handcuff open - symbolizing a positive thing - being released from the restraints of prison because of the dog program? Finally, could you add the tagline "Improving the life of inmates and saving the lives of dogs"
