Okay, we're all having a major debate on this end about something, so hopefully I can turn to some Corgi owners and get some good advice.

Well, wait, we're Corgi owners, we're all good, right? *grin*

So, here's the situation. I'm having some graphics done to match my logo for the shop - basically, we were looking for something to put on the back of shirts as well as the front, so that you can tell who works there from both sides. Poor employees will now get harassed both coming and going, I guess.

However, I'd love to hear some opinions besides mine, I've been looking at these for the last few days and going back and forth on these finals. My employees and I apparently completely disagree for once, whoops. Oh well, I'm about ready to let Riley pick. "Whatever his paw lands on is the way we go! Enough said!" ;)

Original Store Logo

(Sorry if it's a bit fuzzy, I only have a low-res copy loaded. This is on the front 'pocket' area.)

Sounds like you're well on your way to t-shirt empire building!

Thanks for all your help! We actually did change the color of the ball to a sky blue - we tried a few other shapes and colors and weren't as happy with the outcome, but we sure did take a lot of everyone's valuable advice! (Plus that sued thing just was not of any interest, thanks...)

The text was adjusted (small Washington, larger Bainbridge) and we decided to go with #10 due to we were having this printed on darker shirts (for work purposes, white just doesn't hold up!) The original logo is on the front pocket area, just because most of the time we're facing customers, and wanted to match the storefront sign there. But they look REALLY cute, and laughingly enough? Of all things to run into at the printers?

We're going to sell a few of them at the shop, we've been asked to do so... mostly by Riley fans, I guess. Go figure, everyone loves Riley, but forgets my name... ha.

The local person who runs the Corgi Club for our area! How odd is that! I've been keeping an eye out for a good handler for my new pup that will be coming sometime in the next year, and so she took my number. Hopefully, she knows someone! All I know are Shepherd handlers, go figure. ;)

What a cool idea about the sleeve! I just did T-shirts this time, but for winter, that sounds like a great idea... or sweatshirts! Or even jackets. :D

I agree with Sam- I would change the color of the ball or not include it...or change it to something else like a bone.

I would put the a big version of the original logo on the back of the shirt. And then I would put the 2nd of the logos on the front of the circle without the circle in a pocket sized version over the chest in front

A long sleeve version you could have your store name up the sleeve of one arm.

I just see the orginal! I love it!

As a marketing person as well, I have to agree with Sam. Number 10 is really cute and the red bouncing ball looks like it bouncing away since it breaks the circle. Good Luck!!

#10 for me...I like the type placed in the circle....it anchors it.

I like the original very much. It would be great for a storefront ect, but I would go with the first set if I had to decide. The ball in the second seems too busy.

If it were up to Pa'ani he would pick the first set...he doesnt like balls (kinda weird).
If it were up to me (the human eye) I would pick 10, it is balanced, crisp and clear! The red ball is an eye catcher. Perhaps try it on a variety of colored shirts to determine the background.

I'd say go with 10. It has a splash of color that matches the red of the original logo, and the circle goes with it as well.

From a real layperson. The two circles seem "over the top". Detract from the overall picture. Seeing Bainbridge Island, I'm thinking lifebouy. I'm attracted to #9 but I think the ball should be yellow. Could be because I love yellow, but the red just seems to draw the eye too much, detracts from the dog and the written message. At first glance all I see is the ball, then my eyes go back to the rest of the design. Can't explain any better than that. Another color for the ball might be bright blue. (Good thing I'm not in Marketing!)
