The One Where We Made Nostalgia Fetch

A retro badge logo for a dog bandana brand. Complete with a hand-illustrated portrait of their real-life golden, Rooster, sitting front and centre like the icon she absolutely is. Nostalgia, but make it fetch.

The brief

Wildly Good Dogs wanted the feeling of vintage camp patches and golden summer days. The kind of worn-in, sun-faded aesthetic that makes you nostalgic for a childhood you may not have even had.

The star of the show

Rooster. A real-life golden retriever. Front and centre in a classic badge composition, hand-illustrated with the kind of care usually reserved for Renaissance portraiture. She earned it. She did not know she earned it, but she earned it.

How it came together

Worn textures, retro typography, a badge shape that feels like it belongs on a vintage denim jacket. The best retro design feels like it was always there, just waiting to be found.

On the days I can't be out taking naps in fields of wildflowers while my husband fly fishes this is the sort of work I love to do.
