The Wellfleet BreweryLogo Design Contest

I like the barrels. The font is pretty fun as well and I like the orientation of the words to eachother. What is the concept with the red background - bricks? Not a motif that works for this region. Think New England seaside town - no brick buildings.

the background is wood grain not brick

BTW I am from the Maritimes (Nova Scotia) :)

I LOVE the wood grain concept - it is huge around here...but the color is the seaside weathered grey. I imagine the grey could be too dismal??

Nova Scotia is on my 'must visits'! All I hear are amazing things

I'm having trouble with the colors - specifically the red. I like the use of barrels, and I do like the use of the circle in the first one. (just noticed the W on the barrels and I like that too!) For some reason, I keep thinking a golden yellow (warm) would be nice to incorporate - what do you think?

how about a worn teal look and feel, it bright fresh clean like being on the east coast

sure - what about if barrels were 'just brown' and Wellfleet was golden yellow? probably would look ridiculous huh?

I've liked the addition of the black & gold motif

#31,

Styled letter W, wave crashing on a pristine beach

#31 the stylized W also resemble an upside down bottle cap

I've done a couple of bottle submission but to me a bottle in logo for a brewing company is odd...like car companies..no car manufacturer uses a car shape in their brand logo.

Cape Cod like the Nova Scotia is all about incredible coast lines

Though a bottle cap might be interesting #35

great re-works! I really like #41! To me, it seems prudent to have something that could be 'stamped' on any surface. Your point about car companies is valid - but it seems those are much more 'emotional' purchases. WHich beer is as well...so I don't know. I like your wave concept and agree - the cape is about its beaches.

#46

good idea as a stamp so lets make it a wee bit more worn (aged)

#47

resized the W icon so that the full company name is more readable

I REALLY like #41! well done!

#46 is really cool as well....i'm thinking pretty simple though - so even #46 as simple as it is, might be busier than I'm thinking

#45 is the same as #41 except with a high light I'll remove it

agreed - no need for highlight. I'm loving the simple approach.

LT is going to be going offline with in the next 30 minutes or so....We had huge system change last sunday but to many bugs and things not working efficiently...so they are restoring back to old LT format..

#56 a stylized "W"

#55 is cool and pushing hte limits. let me digest it - all your recent entries have been phenom - really driving this train Scott! I'm mulling things over and will provide feedback later

Thank you, I try my best to be innovative for every contest I enter

#62 #63 with rope border

if a beer bottle has to be used then to really pull it off the design has to be unique and I've accomplished this with creating a W with the bottles and it preserves my use of the coast beach concept.

an idea I have for the use of waves in this case "The 3 Waves" could be used for some sort of promotional event etc Catch "the 3 Waves' maybe even 3 bottles of beer (think dunking for apples). or even make up a new song "3 bottles of bear on the wave" (think 99 bottles of beer).
