Logo Design Brief
We are looking for an elegant logo that fully embodies the word: "placid". We provide mainly pet grooming services and caters mostly to pet dogs, but have plans to extend our services to other domestic pets as well; illustrations including a front-facing puppy is encouraged.
Would prefer if the logo is more 'structured' e.g. a shape/circle/paw-print encompassing it. The logo should use a trendy & cursive font. Colours - perhaps more on the greenish/turquoise/mint tones than pink. Green & blue tones + black / white.
Also, I'd like to add the slogan: "Pawsitive vibes only".
Would love if the overall would have a sort of smeared/splattered paint effect, resembling a (sort-of) painting.
