I think that the project that I am offering is somewhat easy but a two parter. I have the two pictures that I want to use. What I want is a way to design it so that it is more incorporated into the name of our business. I hope that this makes sense. In other words, I would like at least one of the pictures if not both to somehow become a part of the written name. The second part - in one of the attached pictures the color of the cap and gown is red. I would like that recolored black. I would also like the background taken out of whatever pictures are used. Due date Wed. 4/11/07.

I will answer the recommended questions:
Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
Haggerty's School for Dogs
Since 1962
Etiquette Unleashed

What type of product or service do you offer?
Dog Training - Private Group & Boarding School

How long have you been in business?
Since 1962

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
Rebrand ourselves. New look. We are relocating but will now maintain 3 locations instead of one.

What are your long term goals?
Long term will be opening up more locations. Probable franchise.


When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
April 11. Wednesday.

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience
Upper middle class & upper class. Baby boomers.
Young couples starting out.
Families with small children.

Who would you like to add to your audience?
OUr new location will be a college football town. HOwever, we need something that will work in the midwest, the south and every region - big city ie NY, LA, Miami and small cities like COlumbus, Ohio.

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
Quality. Value. Experience.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
Green. To drive home the Irish last name. They will remember, I think the last name better if the color is an Irish green. Blue highlights/accents.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
Yes. I am attaching two pictures. One is of a Golden Retriever in a graduation cap and gown. The other is a line of dogs sitting and staying. The Golden MUST be in the it, the line of dogs is preferred to be added.

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
Quality. Value. Professional. We do it right the first time.

What is your tagline or slogan?
Etiquette Unleashed

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
We give them quality and service. We are family owned and operated. We care about them and their dog.

Where will your new logo be used?
Banners. Company vehicle. Business cards.

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
They are okay. One is a cartoon of a Bulldog. Mostly are pictures of personal dogs but they are just dogs not doing anything. I want people to look at our name and pictures and realize that we are a dog training school.

List competitive URLs if possible
http://www.topspotcanine.com/
http://www.barkbusters.com/
http://www.affordabledogtraining.com/
www.adogsbestfriend.com


What sets you apart from your competitors?
Experience. Longevity. Good service. Give them a lot for their money.

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:
Training the family and their dog to live in harmony.

For Shnickerdoodle:

I like it. It is nice. I am not crazy about the shade of yellow, a little too mustardy for my taste. Also does the green have a little blue in it? I would prefer more of a kelly green. I did fail to mention that we have been using the Cooper Black aka Subway font in the past. However, I am open to using other fonts. I like this font, if it is okay with you, I may want to see what 'Haggerty's' looks like in the Cooper Black. Thanks.

Thank you everyone for your submissions. They were great. I really had a hard time choosing.

We are going to use Deanna's submission.

Thanks again. You made it difficult to choose.

HI Deanna,

We would like to go with version 1b and 1c. Is that possible? I think that I may have told you that I was disappointed when I found out that the actual photo could not be used. However, we would like to have the cartoon of the dog for embroidered shirts but be able to replace the cartoon with the photo for things like my company car & website.

I can't remember if I asked whether or not you do freelance. If you do, do you do photo retouches & refinishing? Thanks.
