There is a US-based men's apparel company named House of Hund (www.houseofhund.com), and their logo has some of the same motifs that you are requesting in your design. Is this a concern?

Thank you for letting me know! As we're based in Australia I had not heard of this brand before.

It's obviously crucial to ensure our logo is sufficiently unique and cannot be confused with theirs. However, I'm confident that we can still achieve this with the current brief.

I would really appreciate designers keeping the above in mind when working on the logo and I certainly will when reviewing submissions.

Thank you so much again for the information and interest in our project!
