Description: "Despot" in Serbian is similar to "King". The client asked for a "clever" logo. Work in progress, comments appreciated.

I really like the mark, not sure about the typography for %22DESPOTIKA%22. Maybe looking good on a wine label but the lines are distracting, imho.

lol @ Raja, these would make beautiful teeth indeed :) Thanks for the comment, the client likes it, we're in layout/type variations phase.**Alex, thanks for the comment. I too am not sure about typography, but had to choose from the few typefaces that have proper Cyrillic versions (that are not Russian and that are as similar as possible to their Latin version). Still searching...**Justin, thanks for the comment. Initially I tried that, but it turned out that glasses in negative space look weird. Good observation though.

Out of curiosity, what do you spot first - crown, bottles or glasses?

This is nice. The lines and enclosure only add to making the logo more memorable and unique. The type, in my opinion, fits perfectly. The only thing I might do is close up the space a little bit underneath the mark. P.S. Saw the bottles first.

Bottles then the glasses..didn't see the crown until it was mentioned. I agree with OC to make the height of the green box underneath the mark a hair smaller.

Great concept, but not sure on the colours. The white for the bottles gives a dairy/milk vibe in my opinion.

Thanks for the comments guys. I posted revisions based on your suggestions:**mark: http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/108635*layout: http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/108636**Definitely not working well in negative because of the milk vibe... Didn't notice before.
