Description: Feathers and Fur. You should see both the dog and the bird in the mark. What you see first is not important, rather, I wanted to viewer to take a second look at it. For this version I have removed the leaves/collar so as always, comments are welcome.

Definitely like it without the leaves, nice one James.

michaelspitz said on Feb. 07 '11

Yep, better minus the leaves. Looking good :)

lumo said on Feb. 07 '11

@joe, @michael - thanks guys.

I'm just wondering if the bird is as easy seen as easily as before. This version seems cleaner and also has only three colors now.

Type08 said on Feb. 07 '11

Idea - if you put one leaf to hang from the branch it might also look as a dog tag! By the way, I kind of see that my 'Fetcher' logo was maybe a source for inspiration here, am I right? :)

lumo said on Feb. 07 '11

Hi type08, I did initially have the leaf hang from the branch like you suggested (as the dog tag) but as joe and michael said, they prefer this version without. It's a little cleaner and also just used the three colors instead of adding the green too.

As for inspiration, the idea of the combination hit me out of the blue while sketching, and I never actually looked at other designs for inspiration prior to drawing. Unless it somehow had a subconscious impact here...

great work, Lumo :) both of them is easy to see!

nitish.b said on Feb. 07 '11

leaves gone, the logo is on!..got better fo sure

Type08 said on Feb. 07 '11

All good man, I just had that feeling, no probs at all. Well, I didn't see the first version of it but I also didn't mean to go with the green here (a brown leaf would suffice). I think that it wouldn't make it more complex but it would def add a little bonus to it...

GENIUS.

contrast8 said on Feb. 08 '11

Great work James!:)

lumo said on Feb. 09 '11

Appreciate the kind words.

logomotive said on Feb. 09 '11

Yes very clever. Took me a while to see bird, I think because of the small dot for eye.

AlexWende said on Feb. 09 '11

koodoz said on Feb. 09 '11

Sheer brilliance!

bigoodis said on Feb. 10 '11

Great and better without leaf

midgar said on Feb. 11 '11

Took me about 50ms to see the bird and another 2s to see the dog. Great idea and execution!

lumo said on Feb. 11 '11

Thanks midgar. You are on top of your game today! Nice that you caught everything quickly. Cheers!

Really clever and looks great!

sugarspice said on Mar. 09 '11

I LOVE smart logo like this one!! but imo becos the birds beak colour is much more stronger, thats where my eyes headed first, i definetly see a bird first. love the simple execution!! Respect

lumo said on Mar. 10 '11

Your logo is currently on the front page of Reddit!

Kind of strange to see this logo here so often and then see it at the top of a completely different website I visit every day!
