I'm in the process of designing a new site for freelance design work and a smattering of other interests. Since the site is new, I've started with the logo idea, and would appreciate any feedback I can get as far as the current design goes. Many thanks in andvance. (Note that in the finished version, there will be additional logotype...)

You can view the logo on an actual page at http://www.spunpuppy.com/, though I won't be working on layout until I've finalized the logo design.

Thanks in advance.

He looks a bit scary to me!

Hmmm, I don't get it. What is a Spun Puppy? Is it a play on "spin" or a new trendy term? I feel out of the loop, as potential clients might feel, too.

As for the graphic, the dog looks underfed - like something you'd see in a junkyard. Just my first impression...

mmm.. 1/10

Sorry about this, but the dog looks like road kill.....run over by a Mack Truck.

hahahha mixed opinions about the dog...
I think it's cute, but without a doubt it has not been fed. You've got to clump it out a bit, and possibly give it some more depth so to eliminate the "roadkill" effect

HAHAHA... Been rolling on the floor for 5 minutes now.

My apologies, please don't take any offense to my laughing out loud, it's just the statement above cracked me up.

Seriously, I think you should do something about the look of the dog. I can understand you may have put a lot of work into this, but the dog really looks sick. I Imagine you want to give your business a bright , healthy look

Also you may think of trying out other color combinations..

just my 2 cents

Hello, had a good look, like the puppy itself, think it's well done, but I'm not really sure what the puppy has to do with your site/product? I might be missing something myself - what is a 'spun puppy'? Is a spun puppy a puppy who has been on the beer?!

Thanks,
Darren

LOL

I guess it's back to the drawing board, Jerry.

But, then again, this is why independant review can be so powerful. Better to get it sorted out now, then to wonder why later on....

Let's see some revisions..
Good Luck

Looks more like a cartoon than a logo. What comic strip did this come from?

Hi,
I too am wondering what Spunpuppy means? I think that if you stick with that name atleast make the dog look like he's healthy. The different color greens are also not helping this sick look. Good luck, and can't wait to see your changes.

I don't know what is so wrong with the puppy itself. He looks spun to me...

JKomp · #13 (**permalink**) 03-23-2006, 06:25 PM

When I first saw this I thought I must have read it wrong. You really want people to either not get what your business is about or associate it with people feeding drugs to their puppies???

That's crazy :S

My issue with the logo is less the emaciated dog ... er, puppy, than the somewhat clumsy integration of the graphic and the text. The dog has the nervous, edgy background graphic behind it, while the words Spun Puppy, while also done in a "nervous" typeface, are only slightly overlapping a portion of the aforementioned background graphic. I think the two can integrate better, somehow, but that they're not doing so now - at least not in a thoroughly symbiotic way. Perhaps extend the background to encompass both the mongrel and the text.

I'd also consider dropping the lighter green border surrounding the text as it seems unnecessary.

First thought was your selling dog food or something for dogs. Maybe feed the dog a little more to fill it out some. Those ribs showing are kind of scarey.

Like the dog, not sure of the cut out white frame, loose the frame and the dog becomes more dominant?

Im sorry but the colors are not that good. Looks like the dog had an accident on a wall...

Get a bottle, place a dog on the label the way you want and have it look like it's the bottle in the game spin the bottle. Then, just have some icons or items around it or words maybe?

It looks a bit awkward to me...it doesn't flow very well.
