But the reality is that the most successful businesses in the world tend to feature logos that have nothing to do with their products or services!<\/p>\n<p>While there\u2019s nothing wrong with using grooming or pet-related images when you design a logo for your dog grooming business, you\u2019ll want to be careful. A simple dog silhouette might seem like a good fit \u2013 but we guarantee you dozens (if not hundreds) of other groomers are already using something similar. Do some industry research before you commit to see if other pet groomers in your area have already grabbed your idea.<\/p>\n<p>In general, there are three types of logos:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Font-based, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.petvalu.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pet Valu<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Literal illustrations, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.petco.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Petco<\/a>\u2019s cat and dog<\/li>\n<li>Abstract symbols, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.petsmart.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pet Smart<\/a>\u2019s bouncing ball<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Many major companies have huge success with abstract logos, but there\u2019s a catch. Until you create an association between your brand and the symbol, the symbol itself is totally meaningless. Building up that association takes time, money, and expert marketing \u2013 and as an independent dog groomer, you may be short on all three.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Before_you_start_designing_do_your_research\"><\/span>Before you start designing, do your research<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To get a better idea of what you\u2019re looking for in a logo, check out the logos of other groomers in your area.

A good logo has to be simple, but the design process is a lot more complicated! If you want a good logo that will boost your brand and last you through your career, you should be hiring a professional graphic designer.<\/p>\n<p>Freelance graphic designers aren\u2019t cheap (at least, not the good ones), and with good reason.
