i decided to place you in the top 5 because of your top ranking on logo tournament. I really don't like this first design, but was hoping you could come up with some better options/ideas.
I'm looking for fun, yet something classy and professional -- less cartoony. Look at the top 2 designers i have ranked. Hopefully this will give you some ideas.
The idea is mainly to highlight the dog with your accessory on the label, so you can play with some color variations and also functions in a single color. I hope I have helped.
