As a Graphic Designer and Photographer (Fine Art student) but also a pets lover (I have 4 cats) i had a little extra fun doing it.

Sketch 1
Sketch 2

After i found the main idea, i found a free paw vector design that looks a little bit like heads:

Step 3

The people (Which symbolize the community) can't be seen, so i did some splitting without losing the main shape (Which took a few hours) , i also relocated and resized the heads:

After a few hours of experimentation (After i added the Hive logo) of Layouts, and after choosing a color palette (Sea green Crayola & Lavender Blue) that works with Cadmium Red color of the Hive logo and symbolise the grounding tranquility pets give us , And after adding some black contours as well, i ended up with this:
