hello there, my first entry for your consideration featuring a custom letter mark made up of a peice of grape vine and a rose (symbolizing not only the use of roses in wineries but romance, which also relates to red wine =) hope you like it, any feedback would be great, thanks, bugy.
I like these two entries #39 and #38, the best so far. What if, the underline was dropped and they were framed in a cross-sectioned barrel motif or the oblong view of a barrel end?
not sure if i understood you correctly, ive framed it with a simple representation of a barrel end. let me know if this is heading in the right direction or not. thanks
#44, yeah that doesn't quite work does it. Let me see if I can find a google image. btw - I like it better than the underline. http://www.indigoshire.vic.gov.au/attachments/images/town-images/mini-rustic.jpg This is what I meant by an oblong shape even though you can't see the whole barrel end. I guess i was thinking about a faded barrel back, so it would be obvious it was a barrel. Start with the shape, reduce the line width and we'll see if we need to add detail to refine the image.
Q series, i know your not overly happy with the barrel but we can work on that. im just submitting this one to show you my custom drawn Q. if i were to win this contest i would obviously be happy to supply you with both the V series and the Q series logos
I'm liking the color choices in #49, Not sure about the Q in the vine. I want to make sure the consumer is sure he is buying the same vintner each time. Also, perhaps Q Series is a little too wordy, and just a Q would be sufficient. perhaps in the fork of the original vine? Thanks on the offer, on the two for one.
Using the barrel end as a background for the text and symbol. it can be further refined from here but this gives you the idea, personally i think it looks really nice =)
Oh, I like #50 & #51. Looks like silver or gold inlay in a rich wood. How about using a smaller version of your underline adding it under the name, and then moving the Q & V below that? Well done. Lat point, I'm still worried about using the same font as the label in contest notes.
nice, yea it looks better like this i think not sure what you mean by this? "Lat point, I'm still worried about using the same font as the label in contest notes. "
Sorry, I was blocked out for some reason. I checked the dictionary. I cannot find an alternate spelling for vineyard so lets keep the e in ;). The Q looks ok, try Edwardian script for the V. You were briefly 1 & 2 on my favorites list and then i noticed the spelling. Also, I wonder if the barrel oval should be inside of a black rectangle (vertical) or a back oval?
rectangle version, i think it detracts from it a bit having it like this. the main reason i went with a black background originally was because thats (almost) the colour of a red wine bottle and gives you a good idea of what the design would look like on the bottle. keep the feedback coming, its nice to have a CH who you can work with in this back and forth manner =)
#63 - No the Q is too hard to read in that font. #59, #60, #61 - rustic is better than too polished and varnished. Don't want it looking like a loo seat. Sorry, I could'nt think of a way to say it without giggling. We definately want people to know this is a barrel end of an old fermenting tank.
