Cool idea.

Phane said on Nov. 09 '09

very very good! maybe you can find a place for "wines" near the Tempus... I don't know how many people will get this specially if you'll print this b/w

OcularInk said on Nov. 09 '09

Very clever. A great example of a refreshing idea even though wine logos have been done to death. This still gets my attention.

I like it a lot, but the hour glass looks like it needs to be not so wide. Awesome idea though.

OcularInk said on Nov. 09 '09

Actually the line weight of the hour glass does seem a little heavy. But still, cool idea.

logoboom said on Nov. 09 '09

Great idea. Agree with all the above plus the curves seem a little rough.

mfrank said on Nov. 09 '09

Agreed with everyone. I'd love to see the thickness of the hour glass taken down just a notch and then smooth up the rugged areas of the wine glass. This is a hit.

Thanks so much for your comments and suggestions everyone, they are very much appreciated. Will get back with the revisions.

square69 said on Nov. 09 '09

Here we go, have reduced the width of the hourglass and smoothed out the curves. Thanks again for your advice guys, if there is anything else i'm still listening :)
Phane thanks for the suggestion, will work on this !

mfrank said on Nov. 09 '09

I know it's super easy to critique other peoples logo's...so I apologize for being nit picky. Only other thing that bothers my eyes is the top of the wine glass. It might be me though. The transition from the higher to lower hump in the wine doesn't look smooth. Other than that...the tweaks you applied really helped!

Honestly I like this. It was really smart!

The wine glass shape / sand works really well as the shape is easily recognisable. Great concept.
