Looking for something a little on the scary / edgy side, not gross or horific. PG13 as opposed to G.
For inspiration, I'd probably look at google images for ghost, and draw inspiration from something that looks PG13, not G, not R or beyond.
Let's drop the word cellar, and just use phantom. Character is way more important, and we are brewery first, winery second
Still looking for a good identifiable character. A little scary, a little edgy.
The top 4 are really close. Definitely heading in the right direction. Still room for improvement I think.
I think more lifelike would be good
Some inspiration maybe... Obviously no copying, just imputation... http://wallpaperswa.com/thumbnails/detail/20120921/green%20skulls%20black%20pirate%20ship%20pirates%20parrots%20ghost%20ship%20green%20smoke%20ghostly%201280x1024%20wallpaper_wallpaperswa.com_34.jpg
I like cleaner fonts over typical spooky fonts. I like color contrasts. This will end up being printed on beer / wine labels and needs to attract eyeballs as it will sit on a shelf with hundreds of other labels.
And I'm not tied to green / red, orange, yellow are good as well. Blue could work. Just the green and red are looking best now
