Well crapola...let me see if I can fix that.


Better?

Much. I like the second one better, it's a cleaner look.

I like the first one... I like the red on black. Plus if you want to add some text around the logo it would still look nice.

I like them both a lot, but I think I'm leaning towards the top one. I'm not sure I'd want to drink a beer with the Bio hazard symbol on it. Plus, the top one is contained, like a sign, which will make it easier to incorporate into label designs.

I think the second one has potential but I think adding some Hazard Tape some where might be an interesting design element. I'm not sure if this is the answer but I think the yellow and black pattern might enhance the overall look.

After looking at the logo some more I felt like it wasn't utilizing the coolest or maybe most important aspect of the concept and that's the Hazard graphic and I think maybe that should be played up a bit and given more prominence.

Again, I'm not sure that this is the answer but I think the triangle shape is something that should be exploited. I don't have the time right now to play around with these but here is the basic direction I think might work well.

I think you're onto something! I'm not crazy about the distortion on the type, but I see where you're going with it. Have you tried to replicate the hazard symbol using hops, grains, or other beer stuff? I'm picturing the circular points in the center built from curving barley or something...

I prefer the first one. It looks the most like a warning sticker.

Maybe tilt the whole thing a few degrees (no more than five or so) so it looks like it was applied sloppy?

Personally, I would design "classic" labels like a Sierra Nevada or Sam Adams style and then slap that "sticker" across them. The juxtaposition of the styles might work.

 

[JayInJersey]

Thwizzit, I like where you are headed with this.

I may have to play around with the second one you put there.


I did plan on using three different hazards (Bio, Elec, Flame and Nuclear) for my four brew seasons (and yes I have cheesy names for the seasons too) So making the hazrd larger might work out swimmingly

Thanks!

I did this a while back. We could loose the skull and add some text in it's place.

I like the one in post #7 the best.
