Pet Memorial Plaque Designs

I’m launching a line of wooden memorial plaques for beloved cats and dogs and need 20 concept designs that feel classic and traditional. Each plaque should be suitable for CNC routng on timber, moving in clear steps from a very simple V-carved text treatment right up to richly modelled pieces that feature a 3-D relief portrait of the animal alongside the wording.

Key visual elements I must see in every concept are:
• a dedicated area for a photo-derived relief of the pet’s head or full profile
• a coordinated space for engraved text (name, dates or a short message)

For this first stage I only need presentation-ready images—high-resolution JPG or PNG mock-ups that show your idea of layout, relief depth, and overall balance. Ten distinct images, each tagged “Level 1” through “Level 10”, will let me compare the full range from the $50 simple engraving up to the $300 fully sculpted plaque.

Please keep the look cohesive across the set—think understated borders, sanserif lettering, gentle curves—while allowing each level to demonstrate an obvious technical and artistic upgrade
