Took a Crack at the Logo/Brewery Name Thing...

[Deacon1856]

NEW LOGO ADDED IN PLACE OF ORIGINAL. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE FEEDBACK!

I don't know what it is about having to put a label on things....even things as arbitrary as sitting in my garage in front of a propane flame. But there's something. Self expression? Maybe. Visions of Grandeur? Probably. Whatever the reason, everyone else was doing it so I am too!

Here's what I came up with:

It's preliminary. It's supposed to be simple. My actual LABELS will probably be more detailed, but I just wanted something that could be easily reproduced (minus the halo)!

Suggestions are welcomed! Encouraged even.

Thanks in advance

i like it a lot. the only suggestion i have is to put a mirror of the gears on the other side of the logo. since the whole thing is centered i think it would balance it out better. Or try to left align "Kentucky" somehow to make it fit with the offcenter feel.

really nice though!

I would leave everything as is and just drop kentucky.

I would drop the Kentucky as well, also maybe make the halo a little bigger/bolder.

 

[Deacon1856]

Yeah, you guys are probably right. Need to ditch the Kentucky. I'll see what I can do on the halo too. Needs something to stand out more.

 

[scottfro]

your right....dropping kentucky would work as well. putting a glow on the halo might look nice.

I think it's fantastic, and I like your concept: something easy to reproduce and drop into other labels, tap-handles, kegs, etc. I'd actually go in a different direction from the other comments though; I like the Kentucky, in part because it adds a second size of text, but would add your town name, and stretch the line across the entire logo.

Nice! +whatever on dropping Kentucky.

For design and ease of reproduction, make the halo larger and a larger diameter: Make it more prominent!

hmm i liked the smaller halo better, how it was sorta hanging on the letter.
