Emergency Vet Service_Mural Sketches

The West Central Ohio Veterinary Emergency Service in Lima, OH has commissioned me to design a logo/mural for them. The rules were that it has to include a dog, cat, one serpent vet sign, the name of the place, the established year, and a place to put a list of the owner names. In the end, it's going to be a wall mural via Fathead (http://www.fathead.com/) that will be placed behind the reception desk :)

I'm starting off with just the general logo. The client sent me some examples and I went ahead and compiled them into reference I was gathering. They really liked the silhouetted look so that's what I ran with :3
