Dear Contest Holder, I am submiting this concepts designs as a logo for your brand.
About #28 #29 and #30 : I made them as a logo and label for the wine bottles.Because the wine is "ultra-premiun",limited and is for selected customers,i give the logo a touch of luxury and elegance by playing with these colors.The swirls from the side are made to give a little more passionate,elegant and luxurious look,to get the attention of the customer and make it easier to remember.
About #31 and #32 : These submitions are the logo by itself. It's a cluster of grape with 16 grains and only one grain is different than the others to represent 1/16. I submit two versions of it,the one is with empty grains and only one filled,and the other is the oposite of it.(one empty and the others filled).
I hope you'll like it. If you want some changes let me know to improve it and make it better :)
I love the idea of sixteen grapes and one being different. Ultimately though I am going to likely lose the "Trotter" part as I suspect people will only remember the 1/16th... I am very organic in my personality and approach to winemaking and am anything but elegant....although the wine is. That sounds like I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth - sorry for that.
Dear Contest Holder, Thanks for the fast feedback i really appreciate it,but i'm little confused right now :) So, you love the idea of the sixteen grapes,and you want 1/16 to be bolder and louder than the "troter" and "winery",as I understand . Now about the elegance of the design.I made it that way because in the brief you said that the wine is made with passion,it's elegant and its target are business owners. That's why i played with the swirls,they give warm and passionate look,and make the design to look more elegant which suits with the wine.But also you said you are "anything but elegant...although the wine is" . This is the confusing part :) Do you want elegant design,as the wine is,because that's how the product is itself,or you want simple design?
Anyway,till you reply me,i'll try something with the grapes design,something simple to see if you like it that way better. :)
Dear Stephietz, Check out the new two submitions,and let me know what you think :) I reduce the swirls and put the grape into a "shield" which looks like a glass of wine. i hope you like it.
