Matthew Alderman Studios recently completed a commission for a new logo for the Dominicana online journal.  You can read more about the website’s Easter re-launch here, or like it on Facebook here. The website explains its symbolism further thus:

To mark this new chapter, we commissioned Matthew Alderman to draw our new logo, which depicts a familiar image from Dominican history: the dog with a flaming torch in his mouth. The dog is associated with St. Dominic and his Order, and the torch represents his burning zeal for preaching. The link dates back to a dream by our founder’s mother, Blessed Jane of Aza, while she was expecting him, and has been strengthened over the years by a pun on our Latin name:Domini-canes: the hounds of the Lord. Dominicana’s hound holds in his paws the shield of our province.
