We like the idea here, entry #3, and it definitely portrays power in this logo which is one of the main points we wanted to get across! Looking to stay in with Red, Black, and White theme. I think the oval would be good if we could somehow get the silhouette of the pit bull/dog holding a barbell (very open to interpretation on this can be just the head or however you think it will work creatively). I like the lightening bolt split, maybe having that between the pure and bred would look good as well. Thank you!
Actually liking the idea of the blue as a contrast color the more i look at this logo! Not as prominent but I get where you were going with it. Would love to see what it looks like after the revision with a hint of blue.
