Needs:
I need a logo for print and web usage (perhaps also for merchandise) so would be useful to have several colour options (including B+W)
Company description:
I am hoping to start a company (PetMind) and need branding (including copyright) for a company that offers the following:
Behaviour Consultations for pets for problems such as aggression, nervousness, house-soiling, destruction, separation issues and repetitive behaviours.
One to one training (puppy/kitten advice, house training, recalls, leash walking, co-operative handling, tricks, advice for changes in the home e.g.: moving home, elderly animals, new babies, decorating)
Pet walking (dogs of any size)
Pet boarding (all small animals)
Target group:
I use positive, fun and scientific training principles to allow owners and animals to make better choices and strengthen their relationships. Advice and training is based on applied behaviour analysis (finding out what the motivation and reinforcing elements are in a behaviour) and then replacing or redirecting these behaviours for a more harmonious life.
Therefore I would like my image to convey professionalism, reliability, caring and fun.
Colors, favourites and other requirements
I like simple logos that aren’t too busy (not too many colours together) and have attached a couple that I have seen and liked. I'm not keen on cartoons - prefer outlines or silhouettes - nor do I really like animals in clothing. I would love to use a german shepherd as that is the dog I have, but haven't really found a depiction that captures their softer or playful side... I have also attached a small sketch outline of my dog Inca (please don't laugh - it is pretty rough!) it is goofy, but gives an idea of how I see her :) but don't feel constrained by this - I am happy for other images to be used as I don't think my one is very good at all!
As my differentiator is that I offer services for other animals (cats, rabbits, parrots, birds of prey, reptiles) it would be great for the logo to convey this, but I haven’t really seen any so far with multiple animals in that don’t look too busy for my tastes – so maybe best to just stick with one image - up to you!
Colour-wise I love natural tones (blues, greens, greys) in both pastel and citrus tones.
Font-wise I am happy to be flexible but have seen the following that I like if at all helpful:
Simple and clean like:
Horus seraph, FF Blur, Proxima nova, Foco, Axis, Azedo, Elegant Lux pro, Poiret, Prosto, Simplifica, Odin rounded
Or slightly funky like:
Stay writer, Cavorting, Bellboy, Ludicrous, Fofer, Stockyard, Balqis, The woodlands, King basil, Milkshake, Variane script, Debby, Christopher hand
It may even be cool to have the two words in different fonts :)
I also have a pintrest board of saved ideas:https://www.pinterest.co.uk/mccarthy9763/company-logo-ideas/
Thanks and look forward to hearing from you!!

Description by designer Cedric B:
Hi, here's the logo with Righteous font (font is very pretty indeed).
I'm not fond of the outline version : in my opininon it makes the "negative spaces" effect less noticeable.
I also confirm that the illustration is my own work.
Regards, -
laura.mccarthy@hotmail.co.uk says :
Thank you Cedric I very much like both.
I am going to work on a list of options I need but I am so pleased the illustration is your own design - I was really disappointed when I saw people using open-access images or images from other designers. -
Cedric B says
Yes, this is a recurring problem on this kind of website. It is imperative to check the designs in google

laura.mccarthy@hotmail.co.uk says :
One last thing with this design - is it possible to change the colour of the word 'mind' to a dark grey and also to remove the snake? I am just thinking that although I may take on snakes... it wouldn't be a strength of mine at this stage

Description by designer Cedric B:
Hi, here is a logo proposal built around a friendly German shepherd. You can see, in the spaces, some of the other animals that you mention in your briefing. This bias makes it possible to show the extent of your activities while remaining simple.
Regards, -
laura.mccarthy@hotmail.co.uk says :
This is beautiful, my favourite submission so far - you have really cleverly incorporated the multi animal aspect without making it cluttered. I would love to see this is other colours (perhaps B+W and stone/duck egg) with some different fonts. great job!
