Downtube Brewing CoLogo Design Contest

#49

My entry features a tube (like the kind you'd find in an old amp) with an electrified barley stalk. I stuck with vintage-inspired fonts with a minimal, single color design so that you could easily color it for varied label use.

I'm actively involved in homebrewing, so I love entering contests like this! Thanks for your time & consdideration.
cheers

Thanks Josh. Really like how much you were able to bring to the table with such a simple design. Definitely a concept we're thinking about keeping around for the next round. If we think of any tweaks or mods for it we'll send them your way. Cheers!

will do - thanks!

#53

Here's a variation with more color.

thanks
josh

Just collaborated with my partner and we both really love your design with #49. The electrified malt in the bulb is something we both think can be the true symbol for our brewery. Was wondering if you could send over another variation of a simple logo like that, especially with the electrified light bulb. We're definitely moving you in for the next round. Cheers!

Thanks! I'll try and have more options in the next round :)

#100 / #101 / #102 / #103 / #104 / #105

Hey guys - here's a revision focusing on the electrified bulb/malt. #101 shows how it could be stripped down to a single color "mini-logo" for smaller-branded items - caps, neck labels, sign-offs on ads, etc.

If there are any revisions you'd like to see, new colors, etc. just let me know.

thanks again
josh

hahahahaha - I just read the comments about the agro crag. I forgot all about that show!

hahaha - I thought that would motivate a bit.

you're spot on with the idea for an identifiable logo, that's what we're driving for. The colors are great too, there are a lot of combos available.

#43 and #101 have some room (where the 'D' is in 101) that could have the electric malt hitting a hop bud. Think that would look good?

:)

Yeah - a hop cone could probably fit in there! That'd be cool.

When you list the brews internally (so on a site, a tap list, etc.), I could see using the #100 format (bulb in the background with the banner), and putting the brew name instead of "Downtube" - another way to extend the marketing, you know?

What are you flagship brews going to be?

#108 / #109

revisions with the hop cone :)

I'm assuming you meant #49 (rather than #43) in your previous comment right?

Excellent!

Hop cone looks awesome! We were talking and could you make it just a tiny bit smaller and flip the cone up the other way? Just getting some variants to it.

#110 / #111

Here you go - is that what you meant, turning it upside down? If not, I can fix it tomorrow morning. Just let me know. Thanks!
josh

Yup, that's it - just wanted to see how it looked, and I like it. A bit smaller is good too. Thanks!

cool - looking at it this morning, it does fit the shape really well. Good call!

If there's anything else you'd like to see, just let me know :)
cheers
