A joyful identity for the second Cocker Meeting, a community event celebrating cocker spaniels and their humans, with a heartwarming social purpose. Designed to bring people (and paws) together through branding that feels alive, emotional, and full of joy. 🐾 #brandidentity #eventbranding #petbranding #designforgood #don_gata_studio
We have to be bluntly transparent about this and about influencers creating designs just for the “aesthetic.” 🫠🙄
Visual & Content Designer | I get business. I design. I bring both together so CEOs & founders win clients and investors.
Cheap design feels great at first. You open Canva. You move a few shapes around. You hit download. And suddenly, your brand looks "ready". You've saved time and money. Until someone clicks on your website. Until a potential client scrolls through your social media. Until real decision-makers take a closer look at your brand — and quietly walk away. Cheap design feels great when you create it. But it quietly chips away at your credibility. And you don't even realise how much you're losing. Now run the numbers: How many people clicked through your website, your LinkedIn, your Instagram, But never reached out? How much would you have earned if even a fraction of them had become clients? Multiply that by your average project value. That’s the money left on the table. Cheap design doesn’t just save you a few dollars upfront. It drains thousands from your future pipeline. Cheap design is not cheap. It’s the most costly decision you’ve made for your business.

I'm on a mission to Create a (B)Petter world! | Founder & CEO @VetBeforePet 🕊️🌍☑️ | Veterinarian Entrepreneur (DVM, MBA) & Angel Investor🔷
🔴 Foi precisamente esta desregulação brutal no mercado de animais que me levou a fundar a VetBeforePet Como médico veterinário, lido diariamente com o lado mais doloroso da nossa relação com os animais: mortes evitáveis, eutanásias forçadas, maus-tratos, tráfico, desinformação, impulsividade na aquisição e um setor que continua a falhar.........falha aos animais, às famílias e aos próprios profissionais de saúde veterinária. É difícil explicar a impotência de ver vidas inocentes a serem destruídas por falta de regulação. Mas quem está no terreno sabe: esta realidade não é rara, infelizmente é comum demais e tem impactos profundos em toda a sociedade. Estes são os factos: 📉 8 em cada 10 cães adquiridos na UE vêm de fontes não verificadas. 📉 Cerca de 60% dos tutores compram os seus animais online e a maioria destes anúncios são ilegais ou omissos, impactando mais de 230 milhões de animais (UE). 📉 Estima-se que 46.000 cães sejam comercializados entre países da UE todos os meses, muitos sem qualquer registo. 📉 3 em cada 4 répteis morrem no primeiro ano após aquisição. 📉 A taxa de suicídio na profissão veterinária é 3,5 vezes superior à média da população e quase 70% dos veterinários já perderam um colega por suicídio. 📉 75% das doenças infecciosas emergentes provêm de zoonoses, muitas ligadas ao comércio ilegal e à vida selvagem. E por isso pergunto: 👉 Quantos mais animais terão de morrer? 👉 Quantas mais famílias terão de sofrer? 👉 Quantos profissionais veterinários terão de perder saúde mental e a própria esperança? 👉 Quantas pandemias serão necessárias até reconhecermos que a saúde animal, humana e ambiental são inseparáveis e necessitam de ser trabalhadas como uma só? Estamos em 2025. Isto não pode continuar! É preciso construir um novo sistema, onde o respeito pela vida está no centro de tudo. Um ecossistema ético, sustentável e transparente, onde adquirir um animal é um ato informado, consciente, responsável e com supervisão veterinária. ✨ Prometo-vos: não desistirei enquanto este novo sistema não for uma realidade. Esta é a minha missão de vida! “O homem, quando guiado pela ética, é o melhor dos animais; quando sem ela, é o pior de todos.” — Aristóteles "A grandeza de uma nação e o seu progresso moral podem ser julgados pela forma como trata os seus animais." — Mahatma Gandhi 📣 Partilha este post da Eurogroup for Animals. Quanto mais formos, mais forte será a mudança e mais próximo estará o futuro que pretendemos.
📣 LET'S GET LOUD FOR PETS! 📣 Join us to urge MEPs not to leave millions of dogs, cats, and wild animals kept as pets behind! Leaving small breeders exempt from stricter rules means excluding roughly 80% of all breeders in the EU, fuelling animal suffering and irresponsible ownership. Excluding any animals from legislation means leaving millions of cats and dogs unprotected and shelters overwhelmed. Continuing to allow the sale of pets online without verification is irresponsible as it fuels the illegal pet trade, filling the pockets of organised crime, while leaving millions of pets and their owners to suffer the consequences: poor health, high vet bills, trauma, and ultimately… abandonment or death. Finally, failing to include the millions of individuals, from thousands of different species, of which many are unsuitable to be kept as pets, in legislation meant to protect pets... is simply wrong. Fennec foxes, sugar gliders, and many reptiles are not suitable for life in captivity as pets. It is policymakers’ responsibility to ensure that this legislation provides the first step towards stronger protection for these animals. Please, join us in speaking up for animals: share this post and tag the following MEPs: Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament ➡️ Roberta Metsola Valérie Hayer, Chair of Renew ➡️ Valérie Hayer Manfred Weber, Chair of EPP ➡️ Manfred Weber Nicola Procaccini, Co-Chair of ECR ➡️ Nicola Procaccini Jordan Bardella, Chair of PfE ➡️ Jordan Bardella ⚠️ Please do this between 11:00 and 12:00 CEST to maximise our impact!

Why do people see doves as a symbol of peace but deem pigeons to be pests? They're part of the same family so the only difference is perception. Both are stunning creatures which deserve our kindness equally 💙
Sharing and hoping that design can bring change to the world 💚
Jaguar started the conversation. WWF could finish it* Jaguar’s rebrand got more people talking about a logo than the pangolin—the most trafficked animal on Earth. The vaquita, with fewer than 10 left alive, didn’t trend. Neither did the red panda, the axolotl, or the orangutan, even as they edge closer to extinction. And that’s the point. Imagine using that same minimalist design—the font, the aesthetic—to shout about the animals disappearing in silence. *This idea isn’t from WWF—it’s from me. But it’s not too late for them, or anyone, to make it real. ♻️ Repost this and prove a species is worth more buzz than a rebrand. 🫡
Your pet brand's visual identity doesn't need to change every single season. It takes significant time for a brand to be recognized by a wider audience. The brands we identify have been around for at least 50 years. 📅 Maintaining consistency in communication—both verbal and visual—is what leads to brand recognition. Studies show that the first factor that sticks in consumers' minds is color, followed by shape. So if you're "holiday-fying" your brand, do you think that helps with its memorization? 😬 Sure, you can have Holiday specials to boost sales, but if you start doing what you see others doing, including using assets that billions get from Canva, how are you standing out? How are you not being part of the noise and the spam we receive every day? You're not. It will do more harm than good. If you love this season as much as we do, don't change your visual identity. Add unique assets that make sense to your brand alone. A Holiday label, card, or tape will create a special moment without the need to modify your brand colors, put on a Christmas hat, or fill your logo with additional things. It will shine so much more without the need to have a ton of bells and whistles. ✨ #petbusiness #petbusinessworld #petbusinessowner #petprofessionals #petindustry #petbiz #petpreneur #petboss
