Veterinary Clinic in the red rock desert looking for a fun, appealing, memorable logo/sign

The Village Vet

Veterinary Clinic

It's a Veterinary Clinic in the red rock desert of Sedona, AZ. It will cater to cats and dogs.The general audience market is the elderly/retirees and then there is the moderate income families and then the younger adults- so we are looking to appeal and attract everyone!!

We do need to make it very clear that this is a veterinary office. I want the theme of the clinic to be classy and to definitely incorporate dogs and cats... whilst also remembering that this clinic is located in the Red Rock Desert of Sedona, AZ. It needs to appeal to the masses. We want the message to communicate to our viewer that we are accessible and people/pet friendly. The logo will be used as a large sign on the front of our building which will need to attract customers so it needs to be clear, punchy and visible with compatible colors to the building walls- see attached pic.... The building is also an adobe green color- i am attaching pic of building with old logo (please disregard logo on building in pic) but you can see what the space is and what the color is that we need to complement.

I want the website to be boutique-y as well as very high-end and classy. It does have to cater to a wide array of people however so i need it be functional and appealing. Im open to lots of options. I want modern flat style design;
optimal information hierarchy;
responsive layout.
able to gracefully fit the content into a smaller screen/mobile friendly
I quite like the carousel photgraph rotation on a website-- just a thought....I like the use of black and grey but am open to all options.I also like different layouts- and i like different fonts used throughout.... want a memorable and WOW website!! I also like the idea of the photo images of dogs and cats being for example selenium tinted or sepia or color graded or tinted-- not just plain cheesy images of cats and dogs!- just an idea.

I want a main homepage- this will be the focal point- it is classy, not cartoon-y colors or font, boutique style but still possible red rock desert/southwest integration somehow or maybe a grass background- maybe on the moving background as displayed in http://8faces.com
I also love the layout of http://www.flourishstudios.co.uk/ and the different themed buttons.....I love the idea of a carousel of a couple of images- but they must be different and grainy/dewy/filtered animal images that arent the normal vet clinic images- think editorial/postcard images of animals..... preferably cats and dogs.
The homepage will display the hours of the clinic in a catchy icon, there will be some animal references/bones/paw prints etc that can be functional too but not over the top and definitely in a high end way,,,,, there will be the address and phone number of the clinic clearly stated at the top and bottom of the page,,,,,, there will be Facebook and Twitter and wordpress blog icons to link to those accounts....The homepage will have the buttons that will take the user to the following-
Home- return to homepage
About Us/Meet Our Team- this will take us to a page that is the same layout as the home screen but with diff pics and a blurb about the Dr and the team
New Patients- this tab will take you to the same layout as the home page but with diff pics--- it will have links for New Client Forms..... and an option to see the Client Referral Program
View Our Promotions- this can be a different style button like in LakeWalesVets.com- it will state monthly promotions and deals- same layout as homepage
Services- this will show what procedures we will do...
Pet Records/ Pet Portal- this will take you to the ePet Health Program where you can check out your animals' records and keep track....
Blog/Resources- takes you to the clinic animal blog and facebook/twitter pages and also offers monthly info re animal resources
