Thank you.

Would anyone be interested in creating a logo that does not use images of wings, but creates a classy font with the word "Flight" as the centerpiece?

Can you tell us why you chose the name "Flight"?

We chose the name "Flight" for a few reasons. The idea of a "flight of wine" has more of a community feeling than just a "glass of wine". You are interacting with a flight, evaluating, usually with other people. The fact that there are multiple connotations to the word flight is secondary, although the name indicates something light and airy. Basically, running the name by people got a positive response.

I think that the use of wings in the logo is a bit too obvious. Maybe some other way to indicate flying, or maybe a very stylized wing effect could work.

I really like where these are going.

....

We have focused our direction a bit more. I would like to see submissions that just use typography for the name "Flight". I'd rather avoid graphic elements such as wings, airplanes, etc. Just let the name speak for itself. There could be a whimsical element to the name, it doesn't need to be literal. If you have a great idea for a graphic element that I should see, please submit it. Otherwise, I would like just to see the word "Flight" as the main element (along with the subtitle "wine and food")

One problem with the work flight is that, with certain font styles, the "gh" letters are more prominent than in others. I don't want the name to look like "Flig-hit". I'm not sure how to do this, and it might only be when I look at the name dozens of times.

There are reasons why we like the name Flight, but instead of trying to communicate any specific connotation, I'd rather that the type style just stands on its own, and doesn't try to communicate flying, or a line-up of wine glasses, etc. Just something upbeat, but a bit classy as well.
