Confident. Primal. Clean.

A practical guide to naming, voice, marks, color, type, and photography.

Logo use

  • Preserve proportions and the complete TM mark.
  • Leave generous clear space. Do not crowd the lettering.
  • Do not stretch, outline, shadow, rotate, recolor, or redraw the wordmark.
  • Do not permanently attach the wolf to the wordmark.
  • At small sizes, enlarge the mark until every letter and the TM remain legible.

Brand voice

Confident, direct, practical, and grounded, with a little edge. Short sentences beat polished filler.

Use
Real dogs, real food, clear guidance, practical routines, founder-led, dog people.
Avoid
Wellness clichés, fear tactics, promised outcomes, inflated superlatives, and medical language.

  • Soil#2A2621
  • Sage#AFBA8C

Germania One

Reserved for the Raw Dawg wordmark. Never use it for headlines, body copy, or decorative type.

Photography

Use Sierra-shot photography for owned brand imagery: real people, real dogs, real food, negative space, and honest texture. Use third-party event imagery only with its listed credit and required publisher link.

  • Keep faces, dogs, and credited event compositions intact.
  • Direct flash is welcome when it feels intentional and true to the scene.
  • Do not overlay type on faces, food, packages, or required credits.
  • Do not use stock dogs, pastel wellness styling, heavy filters, or decorative paw prints.

Real people. Real dogs. Real food.

On August 12, 2026, Sierra Obioha presented Raw Dawg on the Emerging Brands Stage in Las Vegas. Raw Dawg won first place in the 2026 Next Wave Pitch Competition, presented by Black Pet Business Network.

PETS+ reported a $10,000 grand prize. The Raw Dawg story, published report, and founder reel are linked below.

Winning at SuperZoo wasn't just a check. It was a room full of the pet industry's biggest distributors and buyers telling us that raw feeding isn't a trend, it's the future. Raw Dawg is bringing dog food back to what dogs were built to eat, and now we get to prove it at scale.
