Boston's BrewLogo Design Contest

ohh ok ;)
I am soooooooo ready mate !!!
you have no idea
Thank you

Pain as far as picking a color for all our big signs!!! Are you ready to be the winner already??

my files are all 100% editable
you can do anything with them, change colour remove font, extend , shrink
print on any material, even wood laser burning, stenciling , embroidery
you name it , ive been doing this for a looong time ;) never had issues with my files
why would this be a pin for signage ? or did i understand wrong ?

See.... I can do infinite color combos on any thing I want... Loyalty cards/shirts/flyers..... Just locking that one in for signage is a pain in the ass.... It will be a $15,000 change for us.... Gotta make it right!!! I'm not gonna lie.../ this one is pretty sweet

same as #221 but wit green BREW only
i left a small white outline as its always good to have negative space
its pretty cool
im still leaning towards the all black , but this is nice

as per your request
but i left a small white outline as its always good to have negative space
its pretty cool
im still leaning towards the all black , but this is nice

What if you kept these same colors... Do the inside white portion of the B green and just the "brew" green.. Leaving everything else dark? Look cool?

this is an exact colour spot i did
of the darker plum and darker olive green
from your swatches

i love #215
once you pick the winning design & download then and approve those both files (EPS and JPEG)
i can then send you as many as you like via email
We are allowed to do that no issue at all

i do like the green a lot and i do like it in plain black as is
if you ever change your mind i can always send you any colour you like ;)

Ok!! It's this or #218! Final answer lol just trying to decide if we want beans or not! Could you just send both files?? Or it's one or the other? Only thing left to so is pick colors! Loving that green... So 100 percent only left to do is pick colors

Lol we are being so picky... Only because we plan on getting sooooooo big!!! We will put Starbucks out of business!! And when that happens... I'll hire you full time just to changes beans around!

so beans and no steam ?

Hmmmm beans no saucer??

That is the correct one! Perfect! Only thing we ask now, with or without beans no steam. So this one no steam or this with no steam beans.

add beans to saucer to which number ?
thankyou :P

Ok we may see light at the end of the tunnel here..... So we want to see three things... Then done!! No more changes promise!! Font change, no steam, keep saucer.... Add beans to saucer!!!

It's actually 12.3457%. Your odds are better lol

I told her to hold her hand over the lap top!! Doesn't work for her lol

Last request from wife.... Ready...... No steam!!! Hahahhahaha

Loving these colors my man!!!

hahaha me too and i dont even drink
I dont think ive ever in 14 yrs of designing have i done so many revisions ;)
ok saucer coming up

so place the sacuer like the one in 2nd place

whollaahhh ???

Ok.... I'm probably going to start drinking heavily after this whole logo thing... My wife, 2 kids and I are leaving Sunday for a family trip so I'm am really trying to lock this down!! Can we pretty please see this logo with the "saucer" thing under it!? I promise you we are getting down to the final few changes!!!

only 13.3221% says no :D

No I'm set on it.... It's the fricken other half... We are 87.6543 % this is the one!!!

What do you personally think?? It's kind of fun! Not the colors but kind of like the fade

cheers

100% we need to see this logo in two toned color variations.... The wife is seeing this logo as bold... Bland... If you will!!! I know we can change the colors when we have the file... But I need to absolutely sell my wife on this logo! Color fade..... Something... Please help lol

nice ...

it is , elegant and subtle cool but warm aswell

That is a nice color!!

Ok there ya go!!! The switching game continues

i can´t show you as im not in 1st place so i can not upload
:(
but the colour that i would like to use and i believe it would look elegant yet still modern is a deep / flat cool brown

i can´t show you as im not in 1st place so i can not upload
:(

Ok id like to see your opinion on color variation! You pick! Show us what you are capable of now!! Lol

it looks pretty good
though i honestly believe it detracts from the plate a little
i love #205 im being sincerely honest not just saying it

your right ! much better this angle and slightly smaller
the beans also gives the impression of depth within the white B
as in negative space

Or make the double b how it was.... And kinda lean a bean or two next to it?? Giving it just a smidge more character??

ok
cool

Or make them a little smaller if you turn them??

Nice dude! We love the bottom!! The beans.... Eeeeeeeeehhh?! Maybe turn them a littler to be more horizontal? Maybe too much

its a nice strong logo yet cool that will not age
its not too trendy funky that in a few yrs it maybe outdated
i hope i make sense
cheers mate
I also like the FAMILY OWNED slogan

thank you

thank you ;)

You are in first if you would like to upload!

we can not private message we can only write on the entry comment
area as we are doing now

PLEASE !!!

yes im still interested ;)
ASAP

I will have to move you to first for you to submit any changes... If you are still interested... Please private message me when you are ready and I will do so! It seems i see those messages a lot sooner! If you are not interested anymore I completely understand! Thank you again for you time and efforts!! I'm very jealous of the place you get to call home by the way!

Or a saucer to go under it.... I just don't know....

Apparently I have 4 more days to decide.... This has been the toughest thing I have had to do in a long time... Very fun but very stressful at the same time! I want to thank you for all your hard work... At this point, your logo is not out of the picture... We ran a little contest with all our customers/friends/family.... And a ton of people really like this one... It is the most simple of the logos that are finalist.. And I really like that... Something very memorable!! I like the concept of a "hidden image"..... Just trying to think if there is something is we can do to this?? There has to be because I'm not 100 percent positive this is the one yet.... Not with any of them! Just trying to think if we can turn the inside of the little "b" into two small coffee beans..... Or something....

so i take it we are both on the same page ;)

so you like this one ;)
and use diff colours for this one too ?
on a white background correct ?
its been great working with you and love the logo
hope i can get over the line
cheers and thank you
Marc

Thanks man for all your hard work

It is def narrowed down to 3-4 in my mind... Would you be able to
Display this in different color variations?

This is sweet... I actually printed this image out and drew in with a sharpie what this would look like! Putting the two dark pieces inside the white B

re-uploaded

re-uploaded

nope ? unlocking ?
sorry what do you mean ?
you can not see it ?

Nope

Seeing if this unlocks the image?

steam

steam

another option with steam

another option with coffee bean

thank you very much ;)
i will do a flame / steam version
asap

Ok... Just showed the wife... Don't change this one... But she wants to know what a flame/steam would look like on top of the cup instead of a bean.... Thank you so much! I'm loving the new concepts

Yep you nailed it.... This is exactly what I was trying to describe! What do you honestly like better? I like them both very much

dont mind it actually ( thumbs up aswell )

LOVIN THIS !!! your concept , with a twist of my touch
i gave it less texture as there is more negative space ( white space )
and curved the handle to give it the final touch.
cheers

mmmmm ok i see where your going i think ;)
glad you like it though , i honestly love it and i not just kiddig around
i can try curving it
not sure that will look right
the B inside the B might work
lets give it a try
thank you
Marc

what if you scooted the ''white B" over to create a dark line to the left of it... then enlarged the white B.... appearing to be a b in a b?

I think the the jagged coffee bean draws your eye to that particular location of the logo too heavily... the distressed look is def enough

Yes and trust me... it seems she knows exactly what she wants.. but is having a hard time with the 60 logos we have received! haha who knows!? I agree with you when you say coffee cups have been so over done... most of the logos I have received thus far.... look similar to a competitors image. That just throws in another challenge for us... I'm new to this website... so I guess I just wait until day 6 & 7 right? And pick the one we absolutely love in the end. this logo will be easily recognizable

Now that I have seen this logo with the "B" inside the other B... I think that is def the way to go! could you make the outside look more like a handle? or do you think that would be too curvy?

this is a really sweet one! I really think i want to put "family owned" on my logo now that i have seen it! I think people will find that more personable

yep , sounds good , wife has to approve ;)
i wont change anything dont worry , also ive playing around
with other ideas but typical coffee cups in itself have been so over done
thats why i love this, its unique iconic and it represents your sons name
and you can use logo on its own and still recognizable .

cheers
Marc

Yes! Now we are getting there! Very nice... I can't wait for the wife to come home from work and look at the updated version. I'm def leaning more towards this look... Def keep this one and don't change it! Would you possibly have any other ideas as far as variations? Thank you

distressed

jagged coffee bean

Hi there
i uploaded a version #41 of the coffee bean jagged / ripply
it looks good, i actually dont mind it at all.
also a version of the logo as is but with a slight distressed look which i really love #42 and #43 on diff backgrounds so you can see colour combos .
Thank you for your input
cheers
Marc

I really appreciate your input! I understand that things can look too busy and stressful on the eyes. The more I look at this logo, the more it grows on me. There is just something minor missing and I can not pin point it! What are your thoughts on giving the coffee bean on top a little more character? I'm trying to think of the right word? Ripply? Jagged? If you did that to the bean only, do you think it would take away from the overall design? Thank you for your hard work!

Thank you kindly, glad you like it ;)
Adding depth or texture to a logo can sometimes make it a little complicated or costly when printing the logo
It looks great on a monitor but not so easy to reproduce on paper / vynil m window signage etc ...
I always try and keep things simple so i know the client will have no issues and logo can be used in any shape or form
What we can try is give it a little bit of a distressed look or maybe give it a touch
of darker / lighter shading around the edges
Let me play around a little
regards
Marc

Marc, this is a very nice design! I like how you have integrated the bean as the steam for the cup. What are your thoughts on adding some kind of texture/depth to the bulkness of the bold in the "B's"? Great work thank you

simple and iconic
2Bs representing a cup with handle and the split bean
above gives it the sensation of steam
cheers
Marc
