Project Overview

A Working Dog Identity With Authority

The goal was to create a logo that felt disciplined, dependable and immediately connected to professional dog services. The illustrated dog portrait gives the brand personality, while the heavy typography, banner shape and stars create a badge like identity that can work across apparel, signage, social media and printed materials.

01 — Sketch Development

Starting With The Dog

The identity began by developing the client's dog into the illustrated centerpiece of the mark. Establishing the character first gave the rest of the logo system a strong visual anchor.

02 — Enclosure Exploration

Testing Different Badge Structures

With the dog established, multiple enclosures were explored around the illustration. Ribbon, shield and angled badge directions tested how the typography, character and service messaging could lock together as one recognizable mark.

03 — Color Palette Testing

Finding The Right Color System

After the structure was established, blue, purple and gold combinations were tested to find a palette that felt professional and premium while keeping the illustrated dog and bold typography easy to read.
