Came up with a new logo for my friend's new company this morning. Its a dog grooming company and looking for a nice creative modern logo that included pawprints. This is the best I came up with in a hour or two this morning. I know its rough but I am only a web designer and have no experience in this kind of thing. I would love feedback from designers that ARE good at this kind of thing. All feedback is really appreciated, even if it means I have to start again. I need to learn how to design this kind of thing and would love honesty.

Really Nice!

 

Looks smart, but also has a fun element with the paw print as the 'A'

 

A top notch logo for a dog grooming company! (which I assume this is for).

That would be fine for the web but would suck in print. You could probably drop the whole tag thing and just take the text/pawprints for print versions.

 

I would tighten the space between the P and (Pawprint), and between (Pawprint) and A in "PAWS". Seems a bit awkward.

 

Other than that I think it suits the application.

Nice web logo and if you do like porkchops said I think it'll be nice in print too. Obvious what it's about and fun. Only letter spacing issue I see is between W and S but could just be me...

~evu.

Completely agree with porkchops.

 

At first glance I really like this for web. I think it's cute, and I think pet owners would enjoy it!

 

Now, when being pixel-perfect, I would suggest that you do not make the inner shadow so off-set. It should really only be off-set a few pixels. The idea is to give the illusion of an engraved depth, not that there is nothing there at all. From there keeping that same thing in mind, I would also add a 0px (or 1px), 1-2px offset dropshadow, white at 75% opacity to the text, at the same angle as the inner shadow.

 

As for the crystals, I would also reduce the size and offset of their dropshadow, and make the colour something just a pinch lighter. I might also try putting a 50% white colour overlay on top of them, so that they aren't so busy and don't take away from the main focal point.

 

Hope I was helpful

 

Edit: I also prefer the purple version to the grey version, however you could use a less saturated purple or texturize it to acheive a middle ground, which could look really nice.

I would consider removing the paw-print from the "Pampered" and only having it in the "Paws" (or atleast for print versions).

 

Also like sadesigns said - less distance on the inner shadow - you want it too look "engraved".

 

Overall I think it's very good.

I agree with Alluzion that it would look better with just one pawprint.

I would get this engraved on large round dog tags and get them handed out as business cards*, you can even get cut out business cards these days to match the shape I think it would look good if you put a bit of creative thinking behind the printing process.

 

*All you would need is that on the front and on the back a mobile or landline number, would work really well as a gimmick I think.

 

I prefer the second version with the etched out effect rather than seeing the letters transparent (im guessing)

That would be effective as hell..

 

Expensive though haha...

Having it done on a dog tag would not cost that much, consider you can get 3 lines of text done at my local cobblers for £1.80 thats including the coloured dog disc
