I created this logo in 2012 for a United Doberman Club. UDC is devoted to the "total Doberman": Temperament, Structure, Health and Working Ability. I used a photo of a member's dog doing a retrieve over a high jump, cut out and manipulated with Photoshop. The Kentucky state image was traced and outlined with an irrregular stroke with Adobe Illustrator. If I could revise it I'd remove the drop shadow on the dog and take the shadow on the text down to a slightly perceptable level.
I've always liked the symbolism of 3 interlocking rings. Here is some very formal symmetry with all elements originally created in vector format with Illustrator. Gold rings on a blue gradient background to simulate daylight from above, framed with a border from Illustrator brushes.
An experiment with a very abstract colors and blending, designed to keep the eye returning to the the dark "door" and whatever waits there. Vertical, horizontal and few irregular lines roughly keeping to the rule of thirds. All elements originally created, just for fun, in vector format with Illustrator circa 2012.
