[wulfffinancial]

Admin code added by Abby - (6H027098BV790341W)

Hi everyone! I am in the financial services business and need a nice logo for my company. The name of the company is Wulff Financial and I would like to use a wolf head as part of the logo. I am pretty open to colors, though I tend to prefer blues and greens. The deadline for this project is November 1st.

Thanks,

Susannah

here my entry. I'm open for discussion.

Thanks for your entry djaka. The symbol is too overpowering for me. I prefer it be more subtle. I like how you worked the wolf head in, but the symbol you attached it to is too much for me.

Thanks!

wulfffinancial, here is my concept for your logo Wulff Financial

[Titania]

Some terrific work starting here...

nfrack - This is very good. It portrays the strength I was looking for. I really, really like the darker green. It's stronger and less "girly". Let's work on the wolf. He's a little scary for me. I don't want clients to think I'm going to eat them up. Try one that portrays "peace" or "protection".

Titania - this symbol is too overpowering. I want the main emphasis on the name, with the symbol worked in more subtlety. I do like the abstract approach, it make the wolf less "fierce".

Relevant - this one really grabbed me. The font is pretty much dead on what I was looking for. Again, the use of the darker green is really appealing to me. On the symbol, I'd like it smaller and I'd like to try some different placements. I didn't really consider such a real looking wolf when I was imagining this, but I actually like it here.

Thanks to all of you for these entries. You've done some great work. :D

[wulfffinancial]

Relevant - forgot to mention that the tag lines are magnificant. Couldn't have said it better myself!

[wulfffinancial]

RedEye - I like the partial enclosure you've added to the symbol - and I do like it smaller, as you've done in your most recent submissions. Very nice.

Titania - I like your newer version better. Can I see it with the wolf to the left side of "Wulff" and finanical underneath? I'd like the top line in black, bottom in dark green.

Thanks,

Susannah

[wulfffinancial]

Redeye- is it possible to make your wolf look straight ahead?

[Titania]

let me know if you would like to see some other changes... hope you like this! :D

[wulfffinancial]

Thanks Titania - can we change the font somewhat? I'd like something less "thick" - maybe making it taller would work. Also, I'd like to see this with the wolf in two colors, Wulff in black and Financial in green on one line with a tag line in black underneath. Thanks- I'll try not to ask for much more!

Susannah,

Here is a version with my wolf facing front. I prefer the side view mainly because it gives him / her a more regal look whereas a front view takes on a more intimidating image.

Let me know if you want to see anything else.

[wulfffinancial]

RedEye - I agree. Go back to design as in 1.2 and replace "strong" with "successful" please.

Thanks - Susannah

[RedEye]

Susannah,

Here is that slight change. :)

We are getting close, but I'm not seeing exactly what I'm looking for in the wolf. I'm posting a couple of photos that might help. These capture the attentive, watchful, protective look I'm thinking of.
