Logo for Pet Sitting Company

[Dee]

(Admin code added by Palmer - J9536124)

Hi my name is Dee and I am one of the owners of a Pet Sitting Company called Pawfessional Pet Care Inc.

To find out more about our Company Please feel free to check out our Website at www.inhomepetcare.com. The little dog and cat at the upper left hand corner is what we are currently using for our logo. I would like to totally overhaul our our image with a new and original look. This includes but is not limited to, business cards, Letterhead, Brochures, T-shirts as well as a possible Template for a new website design.

Here are the specifics on this contest. We are looking for a new logo full Color but could be used as line art for our yellow page ad and various other advertising medias if needed. I would love to still have a Cat and Dog in the artwork. The dog preference is a Bull Terrier (Like Spuds Mckenzie with a patch on one eye.) The cat I would love to have a white type persian with blue eyes. This may be to much white so please use your best judgment. I do like it to be cute but I am open to suggestions.

The amount of the contest is $150.00 and credit for our new image will be given to the artist on our new website as well as possible future projects. (New website Template?) The deadline for this contest will be October 1st 2003. Best wishes and can't wait to see your creations. :D

Hi Guys,

There has been a little bit of a muck up in the emails. I believe that Palmer would have received the confirmation email just before I set up the email account.

Unfortunately I can not add the admin code until Palmer drops by.

At this stage all I can say is if you would like to enter, you certainly can though I just can not guarantee that the money has been paid.


Dee - I am very sorry about this. The owner of the site is unavailable for a couple of days and there seems to have been a slight hickup with the email. Worst case scenario would be that the competition wont start for a couple of days. :)

[Dee]

Zoe,

I can wait as long as someone will get back to me.

"D"

[Dee]

Cre8or... Yeah you are not lying Bullies do rock. Yours is precious :tup: I have three 2 minatures and one standard and I would not trade them for the world.

Coredesign...I know how you feel I had been waiting until I could put my thoughts down and now I have to wait a little longer Can't wait to your Ideas.

"D"

[Dee]

They are cool dogs but I used to live in a town house and I could fit 3 bullies in it easier than 3 Dobies :D Thank ya'll for being patient until this gets resovled.

Hi Dee,

I thank you for being so patient. :)

[cre8or]

Hi Dee,
I should have something for you tonight.
Sorry for the mixup regarding your contest, and let me echo Demex's thoughts: thank you for your patience.

Gotta run,
Have a great day!

[Dee]

Not a problem :D I just feel bad for Zoe bless her heart :wub: Ya'll have been so nice to me. I just did not want anybody to lose interest in our contest and I know that Zoe has been working so hard to try and help. I appreciate you offering to help but I don't want to take away from the other contest that you could be winning just waiting on me. Rest assure it will happen but want to go by the guidelines. Have a great Day and say hi to the bully baby.
"D"

[Palmer]

PayPal did not send the payment notification for some reason. :( The payment was sent. Thank you Dee for your patience.

Let the designing begin :tup:

[cre8or]

Hi Dee,
I told ya I'd have something for you to look at tonight...
It's just a rough, if you're interested, I'll be happy to clean it up for a better look.

Please advise.
-Kimber

[Dee]

Cre8or, Can't quit looking at the cute buuly face :wub: Really wanting to go with something a little more antimated. Thanks
"D"

[cre8or]

I'll work on it.
:)

[Dee]

Cre8or, I saw the wonderful polar Bear you had done for the Artic Breeze contest that type of animated style was what I was looking for in the animals. If we could add a Paw in the logo eihter the cat or dog showing theirs or in the Name that would be great. I am still concerned once we go to color that there will be to much white so I may have to scrub the white persian and go for another cat like a short hair orange Tabby to add more color. I can just have a white cat with blue eyes as one of their friends (I have a short hair white pink nose with ice blue eyes that is the Purrsident of the company) I do have to have the Bully as part of the Loggo or else I have three here that will gang up on me.
"D" :D

[cre8or]

Suggestion:
A coloured bully (black or red?) Then, you can have the white persian.
Or... White bully, with an eyepatch and maybe a grey persian -- don't they come in a bluish-grey colour? (This, I'm not sure about).
Yet another... Do Persians come with marks like a Siamese? It could be like a Chocolate point, or something like that...

Anyways, thanks for the compliment on the bear logo.
Drawing a "cartoonish" bully might be more fun -- then I can try to capture their "sillyness".

Like I said, I'm on it. (Just slow to post).
:)

[Dee]

Hey that was quick, I do like your idea. Instead of a persian lets go short hair like a siamese or orange striped.I do want to keep the logo Bully as white with a brown patch since we do already have an actual costume that is a bull terrier puppy (Called Hugga-Bull) I would have no objection to some Bully Friends for some of the other medias we are looking at and definately will need color for them.
I forgot to ask what the name of your fur baby is? :D
"D"

I do have to say you have th way they sit down pat :tup:

[cre8or]

His call name is kinda lame: "Bully".
His registered name is more exciting: "Westbury's White Lightning".

Westbury Kennels is located in London, Ontario. Unfortunately, they're not breeding bullies anymore (Jayde, Bully's mom had difficulty with his litter -- 9 pups (she conceived on both matings!), 2 stillborn and Bully's smaller, weaker twin died at about 4 weeks.) They shared the title of "Runt", with his twin being the
"Runty-est).
She had one more litter of pups, bred to a brindle male,
then she was retired (fixed).
Now, they breed English Bulldogs. Nice animals, but way to much work. (In my opinion).

[Bill]

Here's an idea for your logo design.

[cre8or]

Here's a sketch... Just to let you know I am working on it. ;)
Let me know what you think.

[Dee]

Pennyln I really like the way that you had brought the Bully and Kitty together but really looking for something more animated. :D

Cre8or I love those guys but was wondering if we could go with more of a puppy and Kitty (cutesy) I do like the attitude of the two you definately have those personalities down :D

"D"

[Julie]

Hi, Dee...I've been really busy lately, but I had a little spare time and came up with this--what do you think?

Julie

[Dee]

Julie, Thank you for your submission. Big dog and Miss Kitty said Hi! I do like the your subbission just wanted to ask if we could do a couple of things. Could you please modify the patch around the eye. (Don't want Target after me) In regards to the type face for Pawfessional Could we try another (I like it but my partner says hard to read ) Something kind of fun. Also Could you include Inc. (Guys can be anal) :D
"D"

[Julie]

Here are the changes--Tell BD and MK hi back:) I just talked to Sharon last night--she seems busy as ever!

Anyway, what do you think of it now?

[Dee]

Julie, George does like the second one but could you use A little bolder font for the Pet Care Inc. Thanks :D
"D"

[Julie]

Bold, coming up!

[Mz Kitti]

Hi All,
Wow Dee!!! I love what you have gotten so far in your contest.

Kimber, your sketches are wonderful as usual!

Julie, I love your version too... I agree with D's husband about the font on #2 :D Not that it looks familiar or anything. ;)

Obviously I am checking out all of my pet sitting compadres logo contests and there is some fantastic stuff flying out of here! Keep up the good work everyone! I am still spreading the word to all of my pet sitting friends that this is the place to find the right look for a business!

Take care,
Sharon (aka Mz Kitti)

[Mz Kitti]

Pennyln, I didnt mean to leave you out... you did an awesome job too... very professional!


Mz Kitti

[Dee]

Kimber, I wanted to see if we could show George what your animals would look like in color. He has a hard time visualizing off sketches. How you mange to capture atitude is wonderful.
:wub:
"D"

[Dee]

Julie, George has stepped out to do some sits, I will have him look at the two when he gets back on 5 could you put the ear in foreground.. Thanks

[Julie]

Hi Dee,
Here's an idea incorporating the Puppy/Kittie theme.
(In colour).
I just think faster on paper. ;)

Please advise.
-Kimber

[Dee]

KImber, love the two characters and love what your doing with the Name. It is to neutral as far as color goes is there a way to brighten it up? We may have to look at the orange tabby with bully but I love the Siamese :wub: Yeah, understand About thinking on Paper. Just wanted to show George so he will understand.

Tell Bully I said to have a great day. :D

[Dee]

Julie, George loves number six so please hold to it. Wanted to try a couple of things. one could you make the bullys patch a medium brown? Instead of the Square could we try like a house shape (to represent in home pet care). The last thing was i wanted to see if you could do a couple of color variations of number six ( Your choice). Thank you for your time on this :D
"D"

Cre8or Thanks for the color I just wanted to George how you work in color to get a point across to him. was thinking maybe having them facing forward Holding their little paws up or having them walk or lay on the name. I am a big walt disney type person and that is what you illustrations remind me of. It is more than okay to work from sketches. (That is the only way I know how to draw) :D
"D"

[Julie]

Here are some other options...

[Mz Kitti]

:tup: I know this is not my contest but I love the colors in 8 and 10 and I think the house in # 7 is a great idea too.


MEOW!!!!!!!!!!

Mz Kitti

[Dee]

Julie, Sorry had to spend the night with some puppies last night. Number 7 is wonderful :tup: I have one more favor to ask? Could we do the house one and keep everything the same except switch the patch to the other eye on the bull terrier. Thanks "D"

[Julie]

Of course...

[Dee]

Julie, Thank you for working with us :tup: You have done a wonderful job on this. We do have the deadline set till October 1st so Iwould like to see if we have anymore entries. The ones we are looking at are 6,7, and 11 so please hold on to those for us.
"D"

[cre8or]

Hi Dee,
Here's another try...
Please advise.
-Kimber

[Dee]

Cre8or, I do love the use of the colors, but not quite what I am looking for. I am sorry. I do love the sketch that you had done With the bully with the mouth open. Maybe working with the lettering (kind of how you did with Artic breeze) we could Balance the browns out. If it is easier for you to work with sketches feel free, I was just trying to show george how you take a sketch to final, so he could see your style. I do have to say that I love the bullies in all of them. :wub:
"D"

[Dee]

Kimber, George loves the characters wanted to see if it was possible to do something different with the lettering love the pawprints but a little to busy. I got a hoot out of the cat (A little to much catnip for fuzzy :tup: )
"D"

[cre8or]

Hi Dee & George,
Here's the same little guys, in a cleaner layout.
Please advise.
:)

[Mz Kitti]

Kimber,
That latest Bullie and its enthusiasm looks just like Dee!!!!!!!!! :clap: I really like that new little guy!


Mz Kitti

[cre8or]

Glad you like it!
:)

[Dee]

Kimber, That is cool. :eek: I still laugh when I see the kitty. I will have George look at it and see what he says.
"D"

[inventcor]

Kimber he thinks it is to busy with the paw background he still loves the animals
I was wondering if we could take the name and make it color and have just the bull terrier bouncing on it. I am so sorry but your sketches are just wonderful I keep going back to the bull terrier and the siamese you had sketched and was wondering what that might look like if you postioned the drawing above the name so it would look like the cat is resting on it and do the lettering in color to detract or balance out the browns. Thanks for all the hard work you have done.
:tup:
"D"

[cre8or]

Okay!
I have a few more for you to consider...

[cre8or]

Please advise...
:)

[Dee]

Kimber, I love those :tup: Man I do not know how yall keep up with all the contests. I do hope yall get to sleep. I will show george to see what he likes. I'll have him check those out but those are more of what I was looking at. I use George because he can't draw a straight line and I can be picky somewhat. I can draw but I have no idea how to convert to computer.
"D"
:wub:

[Julie]

How about something like these?

Julie

[Dee]

Julie, Love twelve :tup: Man I really hate to keep asking favors but george wanted me to ask yet again, could you put a little chimmeny (SP) on the right side same as cat so it implies a human house vice a dog house and he wanted to see what it would look like with a liitle deeper blue and a goldenrod yellow. I am so sorry I think I have created a monster :blush:

Kimber george loves those :tup: Don't change a thing. :rolleyes:
"D"
P.S. He said he loved your website and something about a beaver :eek:

That beaver embarasses me... :blush:
but what do you expect from a crazy Canuck? :drink:

[ElKootcho]

Just to stick my nose in here a bit. Dee, you mentioned to Julie that you'd like to "see what it would look like with a liitle deeper blue and a goldenrod yellow." It's very important to understand that the colors you see on your monitor are not the same as the colors that will print. Julie is probably specifying PMS Spot colors (correct me if I'm wrong, Julie) and these simply do not translate accurately to RGB color which is what you see on your monitor. In fact, if you had two monitors side by side chances are they would look a little different on each.

Even if she's using CMYK color, the same warning is true. The two main printing processes (PMS and CMYK) are not the same as RBG.

*I'll go back into my little corner now*

[Dee]

Elkootcho, Are you kidding :D Thank you for explaining that, I have been learning alot. I think I'll just have to keep having contests so that I'll have a reason to chat.
"D"

[Dee]

Kimber have an email coming to you called "cute puppies" that you may like. After seeing your website I want a logo with all you bullies :tup: Those are precious George loves the blushing Valentine. :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup:
"D"

P.S. Let me know what you think. YOu should do one like the beaver but have bullys doing who let the dogs out :D
"D"

[Julie]

Hi, Dee--Thanks! I'm glad you're liking the direction these are going. I've added a chimney here and gone a bit darker with the blue, but on my monitor I'm about as goldenrod as I can go without making it orangy. (Thanks, ElKoocho, for the explanation! By the way, I am using PMS). And don't worry about the changes, that's what I'm here for.

Julie

[Dee]

Julie, That looks great and thanks once again. When I look at my monitor it shows up as bright blue and orange. Now I know why thanks to ELKoocho (Farside Master :D ) I have had a blast getting to do this contest and talking to other artists. I am really impressed with all of ya'll talents and so glad that Terri Randall and Sharon had told me about this site. There will be another contest soon for a friend of mine that owns ...yes you guessed it,, a pet sitting business, called Noah's Ark. I just wanted to give ya'll a heads up that I live is where they are talking about the hurricane may hit so if you don't hear from me it's because we lost power.
"D"

Kimber I had seen your website and I know where you have been hoarding the bullies :tup:

This one's my favourite!
"Captain America"

[Dee]

Julie, Wanted to see if we could just make the chimney the same color as the roof .
George did a quick change to explain. I told him your were the artist so I wanted to go through you,
"D"

[Dee]

Kimber I love all of them but my fav is the blushing bully on the valentine card. Do you happen to have bully T-Shirts? If it wasn't for the fact that those are your bully's I would say that animated style is exactly what I am looking for with the cat and dog. I am so jealous. :bash:
"D"

[cre8or]

I can make a bully for you in that style, if you like.
I've been thinking of retiring them (except for Captain America, I REALLY like that one)

[Dee]

Kimber I would so love a cat and bully in that style :tup: :tup: :tup: They are so simple and so precious. I would still need the patch on his right eye Left if your looking at it. I can't believe you would think of retiring them I would love to try and do some little sculptures of them. I work with Sculpey now and again and these would make cute characters.
"D"

[cre8or]

I build one for you tomorrow, if that's okay.
I'm gonna make it an early night tonight.

G'nite. :)

[Julie]

Here you go, Dee (and George). Good luck today. We hope to see you back here soon!

Julie

[Dee]

Well just standing by waiting till the big weather show starts. Julie that is great could you remove the line between the roof and chimeny? I am so excited. This looks great. Well gotta go to batten down thw hatches.
"D"

[Julie]

Ooops! Yep, I'll do that when I get back from work. Sorry!

[Julie]

Here you go...

[Dee]

Julie Thanks, Sorry about the delay we had lost power yesterday at 3:00pm and just got it back today :tup: Was going crazy.
"D"

[Dee]

Well we are back up and running :clap: Hope all was well with ya'll. Sure can't wait till the first we are so looking forward to doing a business makeover. So pumped. Julie got to see your web site as well, and it looks wonderful. :tup:
Kimber say hi to bully for me, we may be getting another one all white as well :wub: Well got to bolt, the puppies are waiting on me.
"D"

[Julie]

Nice to see you back here! Sounds like it was a big one for you--but at least you're up and running now, just in time, too. Before you know it, you'll be dealing with a snowstorm!

Thanks about the site, by the way. It's simple, but gets the work done.

Julie

[Dee]

Have not heard from Kimber just wanted to check and make sure she is alright :D
Hope she was not affected from the storm. We may look at ending the contest on Monday.
"D"

[cre8or]

Hello "D"!
Nope, I haven't slipped off the planet, although at times I feel like I'm from outer space (but that's another story...)

I'm all good, thank you very much for your concern.
I've just been really tied up with all sorts of "stuff" <_< .

I will have your new "simple" bully and cat very very soon.
If you could kindly wait until tomorrow evening (late, as usual) I'd really appreciate it. :)

Thank you much!
See you then. :D
-Kimber

[Dee]

Glad to see your okay :D I hope I did not offend you with the word "simple" I just can't take my eyes off all those bullies. I am actually amazed at how you managed to capture their nature with so few lines. I have been trying to sketch mine but I can not take it down to the simplest form and keep the bully-tude intact. I am jealous. :notworthy: We weren't looking at doing anything about the contest till Monday but we can wait till the first for you and Julie since Ya'll are the ones that have been kind enough to partcipate (and Bill). Well got to bolt have puppies and Kitties to see. Just glad that Isabel did not take you out and you are okay.
"D"

[cre8or]

Hello "D",
One more go at the Bully and Kitty.

Maybe not the simple (oh yeah... absolutely no offense there, simple just means: not complex :) I feel SO smart ;) )

Anyways, they might not be the simplistic designs you were looking for, but I tried.
Hope you find something you like in the litter of Bullies I've managed to post here.
:D


Q. If you call a bunch of geese a gaggle, and a bunch or doves an exhaltation...
What do you call a bunch of Bullies?
A. An "exhaustion" of bullies! :)

[Dee]

Kimber, I love the top one with the bully and the kitty. Was wondering if we could try some different lettering/fonts. It is a little hard to read and want to give it a homey feel. Thank you for sharing your bully :D
"D"

[cre8or]

Hi "D",
Here's the top bully and kitty again, with more clear text.
:)

[Dee]

Kimber, sorry been working to hard walking my little guys. I really like the layout but george thinks that it is to long. He really liked the one where you had the name split with the crazy looking bully. Could we try that same style but with this bully and kitty. Or putting the name circular with them and maybe afew more animals in it. That is all I can think of.
"D"

[Dee]

Julie, Could I see what the logo would look like in line (Black and white) We do one color can lid covers and george cannot visualize what this would look like. I do not know if we are supposed to wait but I wanted to check and see that if yours is selected what format or program do you send this in? George had mentioned raster and vector but I have no clue what that means since the computer is not my area of expertise.
"D"

[Julie]

Here you go--I have a grayscale and BW version here. I am using Illustrator and am able to give you an eps file--fully vector. I also send a few other file types along with the final package, but you can always request something special and I can most likely get it to you.

Thanks!

Julie

[cre8or]

Hi "D",
Here they are with a birdie.
Colour, Greyscale and B&W.

Please advise.
-Kimber
:)

[Dee]

Kimber, I really like the circular one :tup: I do have to ask though I know the bully is an original and I believe the cat is as well but wanted to check about the bird as to wheter it is original or clip art. I hope that does not offend you, but after we decide we are going to need to redo our brochure and website both of which we would like to have various animated characters of the same style in different poses. Your website is a perfect example of how you have a constant theme with your bullies. Like when we talk about dog walking we may have the kitty walking some dogs (Bullies) or home security, have a bully in a police outfit. These are of course at additional fees. Our brochure we have various animals (all clip art but same artist) I really like your style and your characters. On the circular one is there a way to add little more color? Maybe a little blue. As usual I love the bully :tup: :tup: :tup:

I forgot to ask you and Julie but do ya'll do websites? Because we will need some one to design a new template. I have no doubt on biz cards, and brochures.

"D"

P.S. Glad you came back, I thought you may have given up on me :D :wub:

[Julie]

Yup, I can do websites, Dee :)

[Dee]

Julie, Thanks I really have a hard time trying to make George see what I am describing. I really appreciate all the hard work you and Kimber have done. I guess ya'll two must be the masters at doing this since no one even tried to compete with ya'll :D :D I really like the one logo you are doing for trendy tails. I think the poodle is much more effective than the ****zu when it comes to marketing high end dog stuff.

Hi "D".
The bird is all mine :) ... I originally designed it for another pet sitter, but it was never used.
Yes, I do websites. I am currently working on another character-themed website but unfortunately can't direct you to it, as it's not finished and I'm under NDA.
(This is why I've been a little absent).
Below is a look at the round logo with blue.

Please advise.
:)

[Dee]

I was wondering where you had been hiding. I had not seen you post much on the forum. I love looking at all the remarkable creations. Love the dog with gas :oops: Thank goodness you did not fade the background with green :lol2: Like I had said to Julie ya'll two must be masters on this site because I see alot don't compete when ya'll are doing your thing. George loves the layout and color with that the only thing he wanted to ask if we could try a couple of different fonts "easy to read but a little more stylish" :tup:
Can't wait to see the site I know it will be way cool

Hello "D"!
It wasn't supposed to look like gas <_< (Thanks, Palmer) ;)
Here's some text options for your "round" design. If you have any favourite fonts you might like to see, please let me know.
Regardless of the outcome here, I'll send you a link to that site, once it's finished.

Julie and Kimber I want to thank both of ya'll for working with us :tup: You are both very gifted. This was a tough choice but George chose Julie's design as the winner. Kimber what I would like to do though is offer a second place of $100 for the last logo you submitted if that is alright with you. I really like that design so let me know what you think unless you want to hold on to it for future contests. Thank both of you for the time ya'll had taken with us. Julie let us know when we can get together.
Sincerely
"D"

P.S. Kimber can't wait to see the web site. :tup:

Palmer, I have got to tell you that I am really impressed with Kimber and Julie they are both remarkable and very talented. I was very glad that Terri and Sharon had told me about this site. I look forward to working with you and thank you for the brochure.
