Contest Brief

I am setting up a new business in New Jersey and require a creative designer to form the visual crux of my enterprise, the logo. My new business is called Surf Hounds: Canine Coaching. "Riding the waves of your training journey, together". This will be a positive reinforcement dog training company offering various services in the private dog training world. We focus on humane training methods and treating our dogs with kindness. I grew up here and there is a big surf community/vibe to this area.

Now that I've had some submissions, here is my revised notes for what I am looking for:

• I would prefer a logo that is abstract or an emblem
I want to appeal to the surf/beach communities as well as send a warm, but professional message. I am a friendly and supportive dog trainer and I want to make sure that comes through in my logo design, whether through the colors or otherwise.
* I am thinking about getting into merchandising with this company, so high printability for the logo would be great!
• As per color preferences, I desire a scheme encapsulating beach-vibe colors but am open to how that's interpreted. I prefer oranges, blues, sandy pinks and mint colors. Some yellow could be okay, too.
I want to logo to incorporate both beach/ocean/surf elements and dog features. This doesn't mean a physical dog needs to be in the logo, just some kind of element that lets people know my business is dog related.
I am not drawn to a cartoon style of logo, so something more abstract would be great. I am drawn to contract and bright colors.
I like a more free-flowing font style

Previous experience in logo creation for new businesses is crucial. A keen understanding and expertise in generating logos using different styles is preferred. A comprehensive portfolio showcasing innovative logo designs is desired. The freelancer should be able to work with beach color vibes. Interpretation of this color scheme, creativity and effectively incorporating it into the design is key. In-depth color theory knowledge would be an asset.
