A logo for a pet-grooming shop built on one idea: the groomer’s scissors, drawn as the dog that has just been trimmed and is sitting up nicely for it. Everything else is black, white and the shop’s line, “Where your pet is the star!”

01The mark

A pair of scissors,
sitting up.

Open grooming scissors, drawn in one even line. The two rings sit low: one stays a finger ring, the other becomes a haunch with a paw. The blades lift into a tail, and the head, ear and chest close the line on the right. Three small sparkles say what just happened: a fresh trim.

  3. The blades, raised as a tail
  4. Three sparkles: freshly groomed

02Lockups

Two ways
to sign the name.

A horizontal version for signs, letterheads and the website header; a stacked one for squares — the shop door, an avatar, a sticker. Both come in black and in white, and the mark on its own still reads at icon size.

03Type and colour

Avenir Next,
given room.

The name is set in Avenir Next Bold with open spacing; PET GROOMING underneath is Medium, spaced wider still, so the two lines end flush. The colours are black and white, with a pale grey for grounds and a night blue for dark ones.

04Business card

One card,
black and white.

White on the front, with the horizontal logo and the line; black on the back, with the stacked logo. The file’s front also carried a name, title and contact details — template placeholders, left off here.

05Aprons

Worn at
the grooming table.

Black aprons with white ties carry the logo at the chest — horizontal on one, stacked on the other. The file showed them as a stock mockup on hangers; here they are redrawn flat.

POP POP is a 2023 logo study by a studio designer, kept in the designer files; there is no client brief or launch on record. The mark is the original vector path from that file, and the wordmark and line are re-set as outlines in the typefaces the file names (Avenir Next Bold, Medium and Medium Italic). The card, aprons and shop-door decal are flat redraws of the file’s own applications; the originals were built on stock dog photographs and stock mockups, which are left out, as are the card’s placeholder name and contact lines.
