I keep flip flopping on whether I like #15 or #17 more. I ranked #14 lower only because I prefer the alternative color for the beer type better.
#15 defnitely has a regal feel to it, but I wonder if it is a little too playful for the type of label we are gunning for.
#17communicates the stature of the brand we are aiming for. I see how you can have difficulty finding a background color for the eagle that wouldn't make other elements blend in and dissapear, but I'm not crazy about the light blue. maybe I need more time with it, maybe I need to see other examples.
I think I am also going to try to eliminate the word brewery from the labels. it's redundant. There were few labels I saw that used the word brewery on them. Same with wineries.
Great work here. We are really pleased to go ahead with this as our logo. This hit on every sense that we were trying to convey through our logo and we believe it will represent our product very well. I commend you on your ability to change and adapt as the project went forward with this very fluid process. Tweaking your three different concepts of the hat, the plane, and the eagle until we finally arrived at #67. I think this tenacity and determination will serve you well going forward. Thank you, and best of luck in the future.
Thank you so much for awarding my design as your preferred choice. It was a pleasure to be able to eventually give you the desired outcome. Good luck with the Brew! cheers tdewell
