I hope you like my caricatures of the French Bulldog & the Cavalier smiling for the camera. :)
I know you wanted to have a logo transition well to black & white, let me know if you would like to see this logo in black & white as well.
Did you want to add any tagline? Such as "Gifts for Dog Lovers" or something along those lines.
I will be posting more logo concepts soon.
Thanks,
Don

Don (#2) that's awesome. Definitely going somewhere here.... The cavalier is a blenham (red and white like yo have) but she's a girl. The one here... for some reason... I think looks like a boy. :-)

The French Bulldog is tan... so this is close, too! If you could just make the muzzle and ears the same color, that'd be great. It's also funny you got the collar colors right on, but if you wouldn't mind switching them, that'd be great! (since you've got a pretty literal look going here, but still fun... take a look at http://www.houstondogblog.com. The cavalier in the banner and the french bulldog on the top left column are the dogs in question....) ;-)

When you're coming up with more versions of this logo, I'd like to see some options with these caricatures that can be removed. (ie... where they arent so integrated into the design, I could crop them out to jus tthe name).

There's no tagline needed yet...

THANKS!

Here is a version with the dogs separate from the letters...

Here is the logo with the collar colors swapped, the French Bulldog's color changed & I added eyelashes
to make the Cavalier look more female.
...more versions on the way also.
Thanks!

Here's an option with just a text visual.

I just realized that it looked like the bulldog's arm/shoulder was missing...

I love these! Great job. I'd like to see the text logo with a few more colors... love that direction. I think as far as the dogs go, I am going to want to use these two for another project I am doing.... and not the pooch pals logo. This is all so great, though!!! THANK YOU!

Re: #13 #14 #15 #16 #17
Here are some more options, remember, if you like certain elements or colors from one logo, but want to see them incorporated in another, we can always mix or match.
Thanks

Love #17! can we maybe add more color?! Reds, greens, yellows, blues, oranges.... bright is great!

I also am likeing #13, nice and simple. Maybe a little bit more of a whimsical font?
14 years ago
 
Love #25 AND #26!!!! YAY!

Okay... so back to the caricatures. :-) Not such a literal like before... but maybe a line drawing? I'd like it separate (not overlapping the other part of the logo. Maybe two pups below the bone, or sitting on the "S" in #25....

Something cute. :-)


LOVE THESE! RIGHT TRACK!

I used the dogs from the blog site you provided as a model for drawing these dogs.

Loving the direction of #34. Love the concept of the dog sketches, love the font. Now... any way we can add a foot like in #25? Also, can we make the dog sketches look more smooth? These look a little too much like pencil sketches... somehow coming to a happy medium between these dogs and the dog in #15....

Thanks!!!

No problem, I'll get to work on that right away & I should get something submitted tomorrow.

Thanks

#41 is super cool, but looks a bit more hand drawn than I'd really like....

#39 is my favorite so far. I'd like to see a version of this and #25 with a stylized dog bone as opposed to a character if you have time. either where the dogs are on 39 or just to the side!

One other idea that would be really great would be a boxed logo, either a bone or paw, and then just a great font with pooch pals next to it...

It'd be really nice to just have an option in a clean contemporary direction, too!

Great great stuff! This is getting so exciting, right on!

I LOVE the dog paw in the box. If we could make that pop a bit more... almost as if that was a standalone logo, with just a very contemporary crisp font for "pooch pals" then I think that would be the perfect option so we have one whimsical option (#39 still my fave!) and then something along the lines of #51... but not so retro and a bit more of a pop or reflection to the logo.

THANK YOU!

Here's a version with a more contemporary font & I added some dimension to the paw icon.
Hope you like it.
Thanks!

#53 - LOVE it!!!! Woohoo!

Can we make the blue in the box a fun green? Like a lime? then a bit brighter on the fonts, red and blue/purple maybe? Also, the pals maybe a tad thicker? This is GREAT!!!!

Here's the revised logo with new colors, let me know.
Thanks!

#54 - Awesome!

#50 - Can you do a different bone, going horizontal maybe under this font somehow? :-) Also, can you do some sort of reflection effect to the that logo in general? I wish I knew a better term, but like Apple does to their logos on the App Store....

These top 3 logos are awesome. Really great.

A little added "slickness" to #54

Love #65!!! WOOHOO!

Can you make the green a bit brighter? It's a tad muted.... Or maybe switch the purple to where the green is, and a bright light lime green for Pals?

THANKS!!!

Re: #66 & #67 - Here are the changes as requested.
I personally like #67 better, because it uses close to complimentary colors in the
paw icon (yellow/purple) & complimentart colors with the lettering (red/green)
Also I think the paw icon has alot more 'pop' with the purple background.
Let me know, thanks.

PS - As far as the green looking a little 'muted', it's difficult to get certain colors to translate well
through a computer minitor as opposed to printed ink. If could provide PMS colors for my design
should I win the contest.
Thanks.

#67 - Can we actually lose the reflection on this one? I think it's losing its pop!
14 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Wasn't sure if you meant the reflection on the letters, or under the logo, or both, so here are a couple of options.
Thanks.

#79- Can we see a new purple on this? Something a bit deeper maybe? I love the colors, but I also think it's a lot going on.... ???

The green is really pretty close to exactly what I want, but a bit brighter.... is that possible?

One last comment, can I see this in grayscale?


14 years ago
 
Of course I say one last comment....

Here's another... Can I see a version with all the same bold font as the Pals currently with the logo in the middle? Also one with the logo on top of Pooch Pals? Just want to see all the variations for where it fits.....

SORRY... I didn't see your comments Re: #79 Here it is with a deeper purple & a little bit brighter green, also grayscale to follow. Let me know if you need any revisions on #99 through #103. Thanks!

I REALLY like the versatility here of the different layouts! Especially #100, #101, #102!

The color sin #104 are definitely my favorite. Thank you!

I extended the contest by a couple days just to make sure my partner gets to voice his opinion tomorrow afternoon. This is great....

Thanks again!!!
14 years ago
 
Just an idea for #104.... Can we alternate these colors around? Switch the yellow and green? Keep pals in a BRIGHT yellow that doesn't get lost, and put a gradient green on the paw like the yellow is?

Let me know if you think any other combo of colors would work with the logo...
14 years ago
 
Also, maybe a blue instead of purple, the pay the green of the current "Pals" and the Pals either bright yellow or bright green....

Here is the first of Six new color combos, hope you like.
