Bend Brew WearLogo Design Contest

hello - here is my entry. its a tasty looking pint of beer with the head of the beer as the mountains you specified in your brief. also included the Bend logo as an etching on the pint glass. let me know if you have any ideas for improvement. thanks.

#1, I like it, but it took me a while to notice the mountains on the head of the beer. It's an excellent idea if you can make that more apparent. Great start.

#1, one more comment. I don't necessarily need the words "Brew Wear" in the logo, just looking for a representation of Bend and beer.

here is another idea...i assumed you wanted the words Bend, Oregon in the logo but if you don't i can remove it....or did you just want the bend logo in there and thats all for text?

let me know if there are more revisions you'd like to see.
Thanks

#2, I really like the shield look, and I would like to see a version without the words Bend, Oregon. However, can you also do a version with just the word Oregon? I don't know how I feel about only seeing half the beer glass, though. I think I'd like to see the entire glass. Thanks again for the great designs.

here are 2 based on your latest feedback. one with OREGON and one without. also went back to whole glass size. in my opinion, the one with the banner & the word Oregon is the better (visually) of the 2, but I'll let you decide. let me know if there are any other changes you'd like to see.

#3 is great, #4, without the Oregon, not as good. The only other feedback I could give is intead of a curved sided glass, use an image of a straight sided pint glass. Nice job!

One other suggestion for #3. What about a darker shade of "beer" in the glass itself? It may set off the glass better and look more like a quality microbrew than a Bud Light :0)

the beer color is based off my favorite - Natty Light :)

i will make those changes...are you looking to go Guinness dark or more of an amber color?

here is a new one - straight edge glass - dark beer. let me know if you have any more ideas.
thanks again for the feedback.

#5, Wow, you got me thinking. I like the dark beer, but show me what it looks like with the curved glass. Nice work.

here is the dark beer in the curved glass

#7, you were right all along...I actually like the curved glass better.

#7, I just realized you may have the mountains backwards. See this picture: http://imagesus.homeaway.com/vd2/files/WVR/400x300/44/445936/158593_17.jpg

It's important because its a very well known local landmark.

here are a couple with the mountains flipped to the correct position - i included a new color combo too - more natural like a real outdoor scene.

let me know if i can do anything else for you. thanks.

Oregon is actually famous for its hops. I think the "plants" in your logos are barley. If you wanted to try a version with hops, here's an example.

here are some with hops

#33, I may end up liking the hops at the bottom of the logo, but you keep them within the gold/brown color scheme and see what it looks like? The green looks out of place to me.

here is one with all golden colors.

here is one where i added more green accents overall...i think i like the green because it is the natural color of the hops...also (because i'm a sports fan) - i know the oregon ducks use green and yellow for colors which might help ... or hurt depending on the person.

For comparison, I wouldn't mind seeing a #27 with a totally different color scheme. Something like darkish green backgound, tan/golden beer with gold accents around the shield, etc.

as requested
