You may recognise this logo that was for sale recently:
We were contacted by Tatkresiwok Alaskan Malamutes, who saw the logo and gave me the following brief:
"Our kennel name is "Tatkresiwok" which means full moon in Inuit. It is to go on our van which will be wrapped in forest green. Could you change the grey area behind the malamute to a full moon, and rotate the dog so he is in more of a howling pose and change the dogs eye colour to brown."
Here is what we came up with, offering both a blue version and the grey version to contrast the forest green of the van, Jill and her husband picked the blue design:
"We asked Sammy Taylor if she could create an Affix decal for our van. We saw on her website an excellent one. So we asked if we could buy it and change a few things. This is the result and we are VERY happy with what she has done. Thank you Sammy"
An Alaskan Malamute logo, will suit malamute kennels, or dog businesses.

We would like to say a huge congratulations to Hayley and Jason on their first home-bred champion, Nebbie.
Whilst in Scotland, showing my own dogs, i captured some photos of Hayley and Nebbie after they gained their final Challenge Certificate required to become a UK Champion. Hayley then asked me to create an advert for her.
The design idea came together using inspiration from the daisies they had their photo taken in, it was like a carpet of them! I then added the stars and nebular in the background as a nod to Nebbie's mother, Rumor, adding stars, sparkles and bubbles to celebrate this dream come true moment.
We couldn't be prouder of Nebbie, and I'm sure her mother is looking down with pride on what this girl has achieved.
The client had lost the original files to their logo and were looking for a simple re-drawing of it. We used those opportunity to add a little detail, whilst the logo can still be embroidered with no detail on it, the extra contouring on the dogs could be used for any other stationary. The guidelines set out were the dog type and their layout was to remain the same and the colours used.

Alex Evans - Kamalilyca
“Amazing service from Sammy. She has designed my new kennel logo and an advert for me and both times got my vision for each item spot in! With some tweaking and Sammy’s patience and attention to detail is excellent.”
Andrew White - K9 Companions
“Sammy at Samnooshka Designs. She spent lots of time with me going over ideas, although I gave her full reign to design what she thought would suit my business website best. I am so pleased with the finished product and it is working well for me. Sammy gives her full attention to whatever project she has and will not be happy until her clients are 100% happy. I have been recommending her at every opportunity and will continue to do so.”
Carole Gowing - C&M Property Services
“I decided to contact Sammy Taylor of Samnooshka Designs to design an advert for our first litter after seeing some of her fabulous adverts on Facebook. To say we were amazed with her design is an understatement. Most of the other adverts out there were dogs in a show stand & block colour they just looked “cut & pasted” but Sammy Taylor delivered a design that was perfect & totally unique for us.
As I was over the moon with the advert I asked Sammy Taylor to design a logo for our kennel. Again she captured everything that was unique & special to us. Not only can the design be used as a Facebook picture it can be used on our website, our van & looks fabulous on our clothing. She has captured so much meaning in the design for us but it’s a design that you look at it once & you remember it.
I have also asked for Sammy Taylor to design an individual logo to use on a gift for my nephew & I can’t wait to see it.
Where many designers only use photographs they capture themselves all of this work was done from everyday pictures I have taken myself. Sammy Taylor has turned them into something wonderful that I will have forever.
I am hoping to book Sammy Taylor to take professional photographs of my dogs over the next few months. I have seen a lot of her photography & she really captures the dogs which is very difficult to do.
I would highly recommend Sammy Taylor of Samnooshka Designs to everyone especially if they would like a design that is memorable, that stands out & is unique to them. She puts so much into her work & her attention to detail speaks for itself. She takes something special & adds that personal touch.”
Ashley Blair - Chemukh Sled Dogs
“The Facebook banner and adverts that Sammy designed for me for my new pet care business were fantastic! I had no idea really on how I wanted them and didn’t give Sammy much to work with, just a few pictures and a logo. Sammy’s creativity is brilliant and I loved the end results and couldn’t have asked for anything more!”
Sam O'Sullivan - Animals At Home
"Sammy did a fantastic job on my logo for my dog walking business."
We have recently completed a very exciting project for Infury Sled Dogs. our client (and good friend) contacted us with an idea he had. We have a phone conversation and ran through some ideas.
Challenges of the project was the sheer scale of the work being completed. The design is to be printed on a long wheel based van, both side panels and the rear doors are to be printed. This involves designing the decals to fit within certain panels on the van, especially on the passenger side where there is a sliding side door and a window in the side door. It also means that part of the design could be covered when the van door is open. To avoid this, the design on the passenger side is smaller than that on the driver side. This also means at dog events, the passenger side will be parked facing away from the general public, and the larger, more impressive side will be viewed by passers by.
Other challenges were designing the dogs, especially the white Canadian Eskimo Dogs to stand out on a white van. Placing these at the rear as "Wheel Dogs" means that they will be against the main background of the image and easier to see.
We are delighted that Matt is very happy with the design and the likeness to his dogs and their personalities have been captured. We can't wait to see the design finished and printed, but as we can't wait to show everyone, here are the mock-ups of the design.
We love to draw and we love nothing better than turning our friends into cartoon characters. Here is just a small selection of some characters and art work we have created.

Case Study
Lisa & Colin
Lisa contacted me wanting me to design her something special for her wedding anniversary. Lisa sent me a photo of her bike (CBR 600 RR), Colin's bike (Z1000 R) and a photo of the two of them together. She wanted me to draw the bikes, and cartoonize her and her husband both wearing leathers.
Here are the final images:
They had the final image printed and is now displayed proudly at home.
