I really like
#137 and
#139, without the circle and "beanstalk", but with what you did for vodka in the horizontal format. i see the challenges to vertical, but if you wouldn't mind giving it a shot.
I like how you did the words. Brilliant!!! would you mind trying "the smoothest and cleanest" to see how it looks and reads. If you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate. thanks again. mark
