Anything similar out there? Thanks!

lundeja said on Feb. 08 '09

well... office strategies http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/40787 entered my head, but they really aren't that similar.

Type08 said on Feb. 09 '09

@Lundeja: Thank you mate! I think that OS was inspired by the concept of the chess game (graphic/brand) and this one directly by the elements of crest/castle...
@Relevant: LOL ;)

love it, beautiful mark. Only gripe is to separate the WineKingdom. Would you consider using a serif font?

Type08 said on Feb. 09 '09

I tried with the serifs first, but then it seems like to much is going on... Clean mark, clean elegant typography... Thanks, Paul!

Thanks, Boudewijn!

AlexWende said on Feb. 24 '09

Really great stuff, I think the typography works well with the mark.

Type08 said on Feb. 25 '09

Thanks a lot, Alex! I wanted something appropriate for the web but elegant and sophisticated at the same time.

Mike mine a merlot, I like it (the logo and the wine)

ranganath said on Feb. 25 '09

Nice man

logomotive said on Feb. 25 '09

Alen, since you have a green flag, IMO the base looks like an upside down T so I have been trying to figure out why it is not connected to the glass? I think the mark would be stronger if it were connected. It speaks volumes enough no need to make matters more confusing.

Type08 said on Feb. 26 '09

@ Gvandoni, Straycloud, Ranganath: thanks a lot! :)
@ Mike: the upper part of the glass is in a form of the crest and the 'old' flag so the form of the glass reminded me on those small 'table flag' holders. I didn't want to lose the lower sharp point of it... Thanks a lot!

mabu said on Feb. 26 '09

Super cool mate. I really like the simplicity.

elmickeylozano said on Feb. 26 '09

Although a tower it represent a castle, maybe a crown would represent a kingdom, rather than a fortress... No? Have you tried anything with the bottle?
Or maybe a burgundy drop with a castle form or reflexion? Just a friendly suggestion.

Type08 said on Feb. 26 '09

@ Mabu: thanks mate!
@ Mickey: those are all great ideas. Crown is cool, but if you take it further, remind me of the 'king' that wasn't 'hidden' in some castle/fortress. :) Sometimes we have to chose the way but I love when some logo/brand offers you options for further sub-branding. I appreciate your comment and thank you for suggestions.

rockwelldesign77 said on Mar. 20 '09

I think its a little more than coincidence that you loved this logo so much: http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/40787
But i really like this logo you did

cmeyers said on Apr. 07 '09

nice man. i do see that the bottom could look like an upside down t, but only after the one guy mentioned it. to fix that issue, i would maybe make the base of the glass curve up into the stem a little bit rather than it being a straight 90 degree. but i don't even see that as an issue, just a thought. i do love it though. great job.

Type08 said on Apr. 07 '09

Hey Corey, thanks for your thoughts.
