    Thank you all so so much for the feedback, it's come a long way from where I started. Honestly, that original version looks like absolute dog shite by comparison.

    Thought I'd post the final-ish form, with some prelim typography. I'm still a bit bothered by the W, but was trying to mirror the dog face a bit, and the original logo (which I realize I never showed anyone). The secondary type is also just a placeholder, but you get the idea. I still need to work on logo composition, then color palettes, etc.

    • Perfect !gonzalle
    • Thanks. Needs tweaking, but I think the overall feel is right. Still contemplating angling the type a little but don't want to overdo it.5timuli
    • it already looks awesomebrt44
    • really nice but agree the W needs a little work and the kerning on Bakeshop (but work in progress as you said).fadein11
    • the dog's face is basically a W, perhaps you could use a variation of that, may be useful for other brand elements also.fadein11
    • Yeah, this was the original logo...

    • Hey, nice work and development. a bit of difficulties to read wigwag first but it's definitely on the right path. like fadein11 said the kerning a bit less?oey_oey
    • ^ a bit cold, and creepy as fuck if you reverse it out of a dark background.5timuli
    • I read Le figuragdrgs
    • Looks great, I’d say it’s 80% there. The type looks like it needs a bit of love. Perhaps it’s because the dog is geometric and the type looks a bit “wobbly”.Chimp
    • I can't unsee `Le Figurag' now. And yeah, one of my worries was the tightness of the dog and the looseness of the type.5timuli
    • Rigid monoline scripts can look really weird though. Definitely trying to avoid that.5timuli

    • Diamond hands to post work here and not give up entirely after the QBNers rip it to pieces.shapesalad

    • @shape i don't think anyone ripped on it. people had opinions... nice work @5timuli, tweak the w a bit and it's great.renderedred
    • yep I didn't see anyone rip it at all.fadein11
    • Check plus! Getting close. Cool to see this develop. Perhaps we’ll see it in future sticker swapsmisterhow
    • Looking good!mort_
    • such a beautifully balanced dog-dickpedromendez
    • It's looking great, the script definitely could use some work, because of the uniformity of the mark, the wonkiness of the script just doesn't seem to work.ben_
    • Not sure if shooting for a ligature is helping or hurting your cause though, maybe that's too much?ben_
    • Drop the connecting line between g and the second w, "wag" will be easier to readdrgs
    • I like it and find it quite inviting. I don't even have a dog.SimonFFM
    • The initial W looks a bit wide. Could be horizontally compressed or narrow the waist to reference the dog face more?monNom
    • You could change the g swash to go backwards and up, a bit like a tail.monNom
    • Great suggestions... BARKSHOP and BARKERY... my wife nearly jumped through the roof.5timuli
