BOW WOW BOUTIQUE AND SPA

A brand identity and strategy project.

INTRODUCTION

A university project, turned to real client branding project for a boutique pet spa and groomers, focused on creating a professional identity that retained warmth and personality, but conveyed their expertise.

Text listing benefits for Bow Wow Boutique & Spa: increase in walk-ins, improved customer feedback, and increased customer retention, with the Bow Wow Boutique & Spa logo featuring a stylized infinity heart and a paw print in the text.

THE CHALLENGE

To elevate the brand visually while ensuring the identity could be reproduced reliably across print and physical applications.
Intention over decoration. Bow Wow takes pride in their work, so the identity needed to reflect that better than ever.
Their existing mark did not reflect their brand values, and was holding Bow-Wow back from their full potential.

Equation showing Bow-Wow Boutique & Spa logo equals familiarity represented by a dog rope toy plus forever bond symbol plus love and care heart icon.

THE APPROACH

Initial university submission was refined through lecturer and client feedback as well as real-world considerations, addressing issues such as scale, legibility, and ink bleed.
The system was simplified to improve clarity and consistency without losing character.

THE OUTCOME

A refined brand identity that the client has since adopted, demonstrating how feedback-led iteration can strengthen both design quality and practical usability. Due to the success Bow-Wow has seen with this identity, an updated online presence through their website is in the works.
