balance of fun, technology, confidence

Parental Monitoring - parents and families to keep track of where kids are, and how they are using their phones, protect youth. huge consumer marketplace

Small Business - employee monitoring, data retention, ediscovery (back up information and search contents)

tech savvy customers. brand identity needs to balance fun, technology, and build confidence - smart, cool, confident

Need primary logo to be used on the website, business cards, stationary.

Desired Style
fun, but not too silly with a clean design - (no tagline as part of logo - just phone beagle and "mascot" plus design elements considered). mascot (beagle) or paw prints, or a dog nose or ??? If possible would like a part of the logo to be used to represent an icon link.

scalable -- smaller version needs to remain clear and recognizable

Desired Color Scheme
Open to all suggestions - but sober colors (not sombre ! just not glaring), transparent background to work on different background colors

chances are component pieces of logo may need to break apart - ie text one place, mascot or paw prints or whatever used as cues on other parts of the website. ie. icon link

potential for complete line of mascot characters under the same brand and different brands (bears, tigers, human aunties, mothers, and chaperones) - lots of projects in the pipeline

Accepted File Formats
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
will need all original files

The logo should try to convey concepts of smartphones (mobile phones) track location, trace calls, sniff out information, protect your family, protect your information - stop guessing, unleash the beagle. but just the words phone beagle and a mascot are fine too.
