New Brewery Logos--NEED INPUT

OK, so I put SWMBO to work trying to help me design a logo for my brewery. So she came up with 3 designs and a label.

She put them on my desk this AM, and didn't give me the digital files, so I had to scan them in, so the colors, etc look a little washed out.

I need everyone's input on which is their favorites, what mods to make, etc. . . . THanks!!


Sample label


I think this would make a good coaster or a nice round tin sign


For some reason, this one got cock-eyed during the scan. . .I like the hops. . .


This would be good on a menu or something. . .

I like the third one!

I like the third one as well.

IRV # 3 has a Cheap Trick font and crooked type.
I like that part of the concept.

I'd look into other alternatives to the hops as the main focal point.

I like #3 but try #2 with a different color fill (if possible) on the bars in the font. the gray on gray there washes out the text and makes it hard to read.

yeah, the 3rd is probably my favorite. . .Its simple, and has a good concept. Are you suggesting ditching the hops, or just moving from the focal point??

I agree with you. . . I'll work on that. .

I was thinking that #2 would make a good coaster or Pint glass logo. . . or neon sign. . .(sorry, thinking big here).

I like the first one better, but I am biased by the Bavarian State flag...jawohl!!:rockin:

She used my pale ale as the example for the label--not at all a German beer . . I would have chosen my Breznsalzer Maerzen. . .

Oh well. Its the concept that counts!

#3. It reminds me of the SRV sticker Stevie Ray Vaughan had on his guitar "#1". Simple, classy, purposeful and uncluttered. Nicely done! I think if SWMBO designed me a label it would read something like:

"STOP SPENDING MONEY ON BEER AND BEERMAKING STUFF"

#3 is my favorite. Very simple, yet also very professional.

Excellent. . .

I'll let her know that #3 is the voted favorite. . .

I'll also see if she can make some mods to it and play around with the design a little, and I'll post those changes.

I like the IRV #2 . . . crooked. I think that label wraped around a bottle neck at that angle would look awesome. Then tie it into the label that you had made, maybe the same checkered background on the neck wrap. Just a suggestion.

...yep #3...
