Good first go.

Lose the bread crumbs up top and change the typeface of "Graphics" to work better with "Grizzly". It's a readability issue. Give it the squint test- recognizable at a distance and at the smallest of sizes.

Try to work the claw marks in to the typography somehow or make it more prominent so as not to kill the title.

I think you need to pick a different font for the top line unless you sell BANNEAS, GAAPHICS and WAAPS. The "A" and "R" look identical.

with a different font for the services as suggested the larger services version seems to work better. for the name I too suggest another font or just get rid of the outlines as they clutter it up and add nothing. the claw marks are a pretty good idea but you have a three toed bear so it doesn't look right. I wouldn't make it stand out more as if you get rid of those outlines it would look better done as you have it

Soooo...... where or how does the owl fit in ??

I kinda like it. Needs different type styles. The set up you have is kinda 1978ish.

Just lose the outlines. I was outline crazy when I first started. I look at some stuff I did years ago and just wonder, what was I thinking. It has to be legible from a distance or it's completely ineffective. I like the claw marks though

.

I saw this immediately. I thought he put spelling errors in his designs and then posted them. Maybe you could tuck in the R a little more to look less like the A.


Would be cool to see the claw marks through the rest of the design. Alot more playing around for that though.

The basic idea is OK, the only thing I really like about it is the claw mark :smile:
The fonts are difficult to read and will look dated rather quickly.
I'd go for a western style Playbill based font for Grizzly, and distress it a bit.
Try to avoid outlines as much as possible.
The laundry list could be in a nice clean taller font such as Kenyan Coffee.
The Graphics part could be any script, but not that one.
You need something ballsier.
Design it first in black and white, tinker with it until it's perfect, then add your colors.
Love....Jill

Not really recommending it but did you know there's a font named Grizzly?

What about something like this (rough sketch)
I think putting "Graphics" in the tagline is redundant.

I think Jill makes a great point about the redundancy in having the word graphics twice.

I really like #1 of the latest iterations.

One little thing I'd love to at least see you try is to drag the claw marks all the down through the G R and most of the I. This is a frickin' badass, bold company with some moxie. Those little puny marks you've barely dented the G with are like what a hamster would make.

You've got a word in grizzly that very few other words resemble. In my eyes as a designer that tells me that I can push the envelope a little on an effect like you're trying and the vast majority of viewers will still know what it reads.
