Start by writing down what makes you different from every other grooming business. Why do you stand out? What do you want to tell people about your place? Try to figure out those things first and then maybe we can help you determine the imagery to match those characteristics. Everything you've been posting looks so cliché and like every other grooming logo out there. Let's make it unique to your business!

no its not that, its much much closer to the design suggested
edit: similar to this one (linky) but that wasn't what I was thinking of.
To the op;
I really think you outta listen to what people are saying on this thread otherwise it was pointless you posting...
To the poster who made this...
Awesome, you captured the idea from my previous post exactly.
Nice work.
Thanks! Sorry, i had meant to give you props on the idea, but was posting in a hurry.

ohh I like those ones, very sleek and sophisticated.
To the OP I think you should keep away from the cartoony dog look, and do something more like JasonElise's example.
Out of personal interest what is the font you used in the last example, I really like it
i can wash my animal, no problem. it's pretty easy to do. but for something more, like a pro grooming, i'm going to take it to a groomer and pay what it costs to be done. i won't learn how to groom over night.
you can come up with design ideas, it seems pretty easy to do. but for something more, like a pro design, get it done by a pro designer! people here have obviously been more than willing to help. they didnt learn to design over night.
if your competition has logos that look like any of the ones people are offering you, i'd go to them before you hands down, based on the logo only. i'm really not trying to be a jerk, but i think that, from a business stand point, you'll do much better in the end if you just get it done right from the start. frankly, if you dont get a nice logo now, you'll end up realizing that you need one eventually... and why wait for that moment?
good luck with what you choose to do.

It's Luxury Gold by House Industries
which i just realized when you asked me that, and i forget that their license agreement says to pay extra for logos i think. hmmm...

I like. It looks better in the box, rather than between the words, methinks. I like it better between the words, but it kind of makes it look a bit "Walk for the Cure" kind of - to me it seemed a bit similar to the pink ribbon for cancer.
Very good job - 'upscale' looking. Best one so far to be honest..
Wow, somehow you took a pretty nice looking mockup and turned it into a collage of too many elements haphazardly placed together. If you're going to use the scissors, why not incorporate them into the double P's? That makes it unique instead of just another pair of scissors. And why include the bubbles also? Putting too many elements in a logo is not a great idea.
As others have said, please if you would like to have a professional looking business, please just a hire a professional graphic designer to help you accomplish your goals. The process will be much faster than you making tons of mockups from clip art and the result will be so much better in the long run for your business.
mocman - Out of curiosity, why are you attempting to design this logo yourself? Do you do all of your dental work yourself?
I'm honestly not trying to be a jerk here. It's just obvious that there are some design concepts that you're not grasping. It's the same as why I assume you don't do your dental work yourself. You lack formal training and the tools necessary to perform oral checkups.
If people see a dog grooming business with a logo that looks unprofessional, do you really think they're going to trust it with their beloved animals? This is something you should consider.
Good luck.

I think I may well be following suit here.
Mocman, you're not taking any of the comments on board. You are doing what all home 'designers' do, ignoring the paid professionals who generally know what they're doing
. Your latest effort - I don't even know where to begin.
LeviG, It really does not matter what I post on here it will not be suffice to professional designers. I own a successful computer business and never claimed that I was a designer. Have owned the Pink Poodle for 8 years.
I have taken into consideration all of the advice given. I may not understand it all as you ma see.
About hiring a designer I really like the satisfaction of completing things in life on my own. Like changing my oil in my cars, home repairs etc.
I posted on here for some direction and alot of people give great ideas. Now on the other hand people love bashing on here about whatever people do. I will succeed in hammering out a logo whether it is one of mine or some professional. Thanks MC

Jumping in, the thing about this is, the logo is important. As you obviously know, running a business is about making the decisions that maximise your profit, within your moral framework. People here are looking at your attempts and cringe. They're no better than what most eleven year olds could accomplish. A logo like this will cost you money in the long run as it just makes you look amateur, very. Sometimes you have to differ to those who know better than you. Doing so can be the smart decision.
Looking at your attempts so much is wrong I cannot imagine you alone making them right. They are horrific. Whoever was telling you to hire a designer was absolutely right, and right for you.
