#46 features a wine bottle and a martini glass, the typography cut out of those solid shapes.

#47 has the wine bottle on its side used as a frame for the name, the 'Wine & Martinis' can be dropped off of this on if needed. I think this one would not only look cool in print but cool as a sign on the front of your business, especially if the facade is brick and the sign is sort of back lit against the brick.

#49 is another variation of this one, shown on a darker background for you and tilted as if being poured, also would look cool on the building and the unusual angle I think would definitely make it memorable.

#48, #49 and #50 are all taking the idea of a circular staircase, 2 of them the stairs shaped like wine bottles, the stairs fading from the color of a white wine to a red wine and then to black as if going down into the dark of a wine cellar. I think the circular staircase would be a classy and fun way to get down into a cellar space where the wine is stored. These 3 sort of give you a cool icon as part of your logo, one that could be used on other elements in the bar and eventually recognized by itself. The stairs also visually can be seen as the letter 'C' for cellar.

that last note was supposed to be #48, #50 and #51, sorry about that.

I like your ideas. I'm marketing towards women mainly. I doubt they will get the staircase concept just by looking at it even though I do. I need to cater to women because my cigar bar next door already caters to men. Let me know your ideas and thoughts to remedy

perhaps something that just shows a hint of a wine glass and martini glass, light greys and pinks and where the glasses are layered the colors can be more saturated. It would be cool to get that area where they overlap to be a recognizable icon but it might be forced since it would just be sort of a rounded triangular shape, too simple. I'll think on it tonight and in the morning before the end of the contest and hopefully get something up there since only the top 5 move on. Thanx for your feedback.

#52 is a variation of the one of mine you have ranked the highest. i added the gradient to it to give it a feel of having wine in it. By adding the blush color it should appeal a little more to the women, but then kept the font the same since it's pretty gender neutral.

#53 is an element that is supposed to represent wine being poured into a wine glass, but at a little more fun, celebratory pace, splashing out. The glass isn't seen but can be imagined with the wine shape. I personally like the typography on these so I used it several times with other elements.

$54 and #56 feature the martini glass and wine glass i mentioned in my last comment but I did not overlap them to where they'd create a third pink color or shape, I kept them separated enough yet the glass itself overlaps. I also only rendered the outside edges of the glasses to give the look of the clear glass. I liked the similarities and balance in the various letters that make up 'Cellar' in #56, the letter shapes, the e and a being the same digit flipped over and the r and C having similar movement, sort of balancing it all with the double L in the middle. I also added the olive as the '&' sign or at least in that space, dividing the two words like a bullet point.

#55 may not be that legible, but is more for concept, I can look for a more appropriate font or go in and revise this one to close the 'a' in more and put the 'r' together, etc.
