Hey all,
Not asking for anyone to draw me up anything, but interested in any ideas that you may have to inspire a logo.
Due to the off-color nature of my brewery name, I suspect any response could be entertaining.
Anyway....
So my brother and I started homebrewing, and we got pretty good at it (by good at it, I mean that many of the locals choose it out a fridge that contains commercial options or even join me on brew day to take away a fermentor full). Unfortunately several of our friends have had issues with the suspended yeast and it had become fairly notorious/famous/infamous for its gastroentestinal effects.
There is an old saying that when one is very loose of stool that they could "scat thru the eye of a needle at 40 paces". Don't believe me, check the urban dictionary. So it kinda stuck and we were dubbed "40 Paces Brewery".
I have embraced this by naming all my brews with a touch of this potty humor theme. One of our best was a roasted oatmeal chocolate stout dubbed "Burns on the Whey Stout" There is also "Number 2 Ale", "Touched Cloth Tappist" .... anyway you get the point.
I have tried several simple drawings of the name surrounded by a needle with the thread crossing the t, but nothing has stuck.
Any suggestions?
