Crooked Cat Design A Brilliant, Stylish Logo For A New Indie Publisher

What is the exact name you would like in your logo?

Crooked Cat

What is your industry?

What are the top 3 things you would like to communicate through your logo?

1. Quality of product (books and e-books - but we don't want logos of books!)
2. Stylish products (in the sense that the customer is buying into something professional)
3. Quirky and individual (a company that does things differently, and stands out in the publishing industry - in a positive way! The name of the company is 'Crooked Cat', and we'd like this aspect to be conveyed a little in the image (although we don't' want to come across as crooks!)

What logo styles do you like (image + text, image only, text only, etc.)

Any combination of image + text, or image only. Image could be separate from the text in order that we might use the graphic on its own for some occasions.

Logo should be cat-inspired, or have some hint of a cat about it (either the visual representation of a (crooked!?) cat, or its face, or contour, or in some way, that the cat is interconnected with the text.

Logo should be self contained (perhaps bordered/enclosed in a circle, rectangle?) clear and striking, as will be used on website, as well as on book covers, and book spines. Consider the penguin publishing logo: http://www.logodesignlove.com/penguin-lo..., Hachette: http://www.seeklogo.com/hachette-logo-64...

Do you have any other info or links you want to share?
