I am launching an online pet boutique. The store will offer high end accessories mostly for large breed dogs. Some items will be available for smaller dogs ie. "froo froo" dogs, but mostly large breeds. In addition to collars, beds, dog dishes we will offer health and wellness products i.e. natural shampoos, organic flea/tick products and must haves for dog safety i.e. seat belts, life preservers.

Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?The name. MyGiftedDog.com

What type of product or service do you offer?
High end pet boutique items. Bowls, collars, beds etc.

How long have you been in business?
Planning on fall launch.

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
I want a cute logo that will be great on marketing and promotional items. Something eye catching that could look good on tote bags, mugs etc.

What are your long term goals?
Build a profitable online business and perhaps open a retail store.


When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
July 21
Audience Profile:
Who would you like to add to your audience?
This will be for average family dog – mom, dad and kids; DINKS and single women.

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
Simple. Fun. Fashionable but not too glitzy or ostentatious. More conservative yet fun.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)Mint or yellow. Those are just colors that I have had in mind. I want neutral but not plain khaki. NOT hot pink. That is not our look. I want a man to be willing to shop here for his dog.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
Nothing specific but a cute non descript cartoon dog somewhere in there.

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
Service. Quality.

What is your tagline or slogan?
Work in progress. Where the family dog shops. All dressed up and ready to fetch. Nirvana for Dogs.

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?

Good quality products. Top service. Big variety. Unusual items.

Where will your new logo be used?
Web site. Packaging. Tote bags and mugs.
Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
www.thepamperedpup.com It is just a paw and Palm trees. It is ok, not very original.
www.dogmacatma.com It is cute. It is a dog and cat on a heart name tag. Original.
www.barkavenue.com Shopping bag with BA on it. It is OK
www.pawpalaceonline.com A crown over the name. Not very original.
www.metropawlispetboutique.com Much more original. Simple. Nice.
www.barkleysmarket.com Very cute and very original. I like it a lot.
www.mutropolis.com Very clean. Fun. Can be for a little dog or big dog.

What sets you apart from your competitors?
Service. Quality. Health products/environmentally sound products.

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:
My dog is my best friend or our dog is one of the family.

Thanks.

Here, could you possibly have a dog that looks like the dog in version two, sitting behind the gift box peering into the unopened box as though they were about to open it?

Babette
07-17-2006, 04:35 PM

Thanks. :)

DESIGNER CHOSEN

I had a really difficult time choosing which one I like the best.
Thank you everyone for your entries.

Titania with version #4 is the winner. Titania could I please see a few more color versions- different shades of yellow and green perhaps. More pale perhaps.

Titania
07-25-2006, 12:45 PM
thanks a lot for choosing my design! :yes:

I like the second one in version 6 but can you make the green in the word gifted and the ribbon darker like that of the first one in version 7?

Thanks.

Titania
07-31-2006, 11:27 AM
blue is the same in both... yellow is the same in both, and it's from the second in version 6...
green in the one of the left is from the first one in version 7.
green in the one of the right is from the second in version 6 but with the letters and ribbons darker...
:D
let me know if one of this suits you...

HI Titania,

I am sorry. I do not know if I told you, I was in NY last week for my dad's memorial service so I am just back in town now. I meant to tell you before I left.

Anyway, please do not kill me but can you show me in three more color combos? I can tell you which ones exactly I would like to see. I love the logo, I am jsut not sure that I love the shades of the colors.

The color combos were in the other logos by Paula. One was the green and blue bone at the bottom in message 25. The other was the green and blue in message #14 and the yellow and blue in message #11.

I apologize if I am being a pain in the rear.

Thanks.
Babette

My friend suggested this change:
if you replaced just the dark green on the package with the blue. (that would be highlights in the bow on top of the package and the ribbon around the package. Leaving the text way it is.

How about that? Thanks for being so patient.

Babette

I am sorry that my lag time is so long. The site use to tell me when I had a response but it doesn't do that anymore so I keep waiting for that to happen.

Titania

Babette

Babette

Titania
08-22-2006, 09:59 AM
ok, i made some new samples for you to choose a yellow with the design in version 8 as you requested.
the thing is, version 8 had 2 different greens, so i made one sample with one of the greens (the one on the left) wich is version 11 and another one for the other green: version 12... :D
here they are, hope you like them! :yes:
i'll wait for feedback...
