BARKography

I officially launched BARKography on June 11th and here is the new logo design. When I decided to start a photography division I tacked on photography to See Spot Run and then later learned that the name was trademarked by another photographer. Before that led to any issues, I decided to be proactive and change the name, hence BARKography. Once I decided on the name, the next process was developing a logo. Here is the winning design: BARKography logo

Another attendee at Barkelona referred me to 99Designs.com. 99Designs.com is a site where you can have graphic artists from around the world enter a contest to design your logo. I originally thought I wanted a logo using my dog Moose but all of the designs using him looked like clipart to me.  The original artwork submitted to me was this:

BARKography

I was immediately drawn to it but I wasn't sure it was exactly what I wanted. After a few days of going back and forth on ideas with the artist, he created this and I love it!  What do you think?
