I love my kids, and i love my dog...

Three Daughters and a Wet Dog

I am a single dad who has recently purchased a weekend/beach house out on the Hood Canal in Kitsap County, WA. I picked the place up so that it would serve as an escape for me, as i live and work in Seattle. Mainly, i got it so that i could take my kids there and escape the bachelor life that i have when i'm in town. I originally named it 'Three Daughters', but then my youngest daughter, Evelyn (6 years old) decided it should be called 'Three Daughters and a Wet Dog' to reflect the presence of Kenny, a six-year old black lab who doesn't waste any time in taking a swim once we get there.. So, we now call it 3D-Dub-D., after it's initials. I am looking for a logo that can be used for stationary, dormats, and eventually glassware, plates, and possibly painted in a large flat-faced rock that's at the head of the driveway. I should add that the house/property itself represents freedom, intimate family time, and sanctuary. Literal elements inlcude wildlife such as birds, crabs, oysters. it's on a tide system, which allows my daughters to walk for miles on the hard packed sand when the tide is out.

Family and friends. It's not to sell anything, but it'll be used to rally our family together and something that will symbolize the fun we'll have there in years to come.

1. Should not be too cartoonish.
2. Needs to be fun
3. Not too fancy; the 3D-Dub-D letters may or may not be present
4. it needs to be something that can be painted, so needs to be realtively simple
