Logo Design Brief
I am starting a consulting company built around the concept of empowering people through their natural strengths. As a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, I will coach individuals and consult with organizations on how to maximize the inherent potential of people by helping them do more of what they do best. The company is called Percheron Consulting and is named after the Percheron horse, which is elegant, strong, sleek, powerful and a great partner to man (similar to the principles of the company). I am looking for a logo to represent the strength and grace of the company: an abstract interpretation of a Percheron horse. I would like a FRONT FACING HORSE design (horse head/neck facing the viewer). I am also looking for an ABSTRACT INTERPRETATION of a horse, not a literal horse graphic. The logo should look less like a horse and more like a interesting design (that if you look closely enough, you can tell its a horse). Please see the attached photos for inspiration and note that the Percheron is a particular breed of horse, which is ideally expressed in the logo design. The graphic will be pictured to the left of the name of the company and the color scheme will be navy (for the logo and name 'Percheron') with 'Consulting' in grey underneath Percheron, text in Copperplate Gothic Bold font. The final design should communicate strength, possibility, elegance and stability.

Thank you for your initial submissions! I appreciate you taking the time to design and submit concepts. I am looking for an abstract horse design versus a literal horse head drawing/picture. I am thinking of a series of lines that imply a horse's head and neck shape (either facing forward or to the side). Ideally it will be an artistic, minimalist interpretation. All of the designs thus far are a side view... I would love to see some designs of a forward facing horse head. Good work and thank you!

Thank you all for your outstanding submissions so far! I appreciate the creativity and work that has gone into the designs. After reviewing the designs I have received so far, I have decided that I would like a FRONT FACING HORSE design (horse head/neck facing the viewer) versus a side image. I am also looking for an ABSTRACT INTERPRETATION of a horse, not a literal horse graphic. The logo should look less like a horse and more like a cool design (that if you look closely enough, you can tell its a horse). Thank you very much!

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Thank you for all the great designs! I'm still looking for the perfect logo .I am looking for an abstract, front facing horse head/neck logo. It should strike the viewer first as an interesting abstract design, then upon closer inspection, one can see that it is a horse. I have seen many options that are close to what I am looking for, but not abstract enough. Please continue submitting design ideas! Thank you!
