    give them what they want, their image is dated and not good to begin with.

    however, if they are a reputable firm and will pay for getting the job done correct. Reinvent their image, compare them both… if they like the new modern brand, they may give the whole place a facelift gaining you much more work.

    Turn the horseshoe upside down. (Looks more like a shield that way, nothing to do with luck!)
    Maybe the paw can be a shape on the bull’s forehead if you have to keep it in.
    My humble opinion.

    Hi Martin

    This is sort of what I was trying to say mate…
    By all means give them what they want. But re-inventing their image may just tweak their line of thought for something a little more modern.

    Their original is a mix of two messages, they have a logo that shows meadows/fields and a large word MEADOWS but that’s all secondary, it’s the fact they are VETS that should get priority. Now they are adding another logo to try doing the job that should have been done in the first instance. It all gets a bit too much at a glance…
    Anyway, thought ide have a quick go after googling for some clipart to show what I meant.

    That looks much better than what they’ve been using.

    But if they don’t want a complete overhaul – what about this?
