Description: Sweeney's family butchers based in Carpenterstown Dublin. They pride themselves on the quality of their meats and customer service. After an extensive shop renovation they decide they needed a rebrand, they wanted a simple logo that could be reproduced on packaging and uniforms. This logo was done in partnership with designate.ie.

yes the Y is a pain, actually anything below the baseline is a pain, but it doesn't have the tagline placed like that on the signage, so its livable. They do fantastic sausages, you two yankee boys are ever in Dublin, I'll treat ya to a nice sausage sandwich and a couple of gallons of beer.

Very clean logo Paul. I don't think this y's tail is a problem. You did a very good job, layout is very good and well balanced, type (which is?) is very according and really like this cold blue you picked.

Thanks for the answer! Very funny as I really don't like almost all types by Jos Buivenga :D (probably because they're overused). But this time, this is spot on! Even better now I know this.

I hear you on Buivenga's fonts, the evils of giving them away for free, but this fertigo is his best one IMHO, and I thought it was great for this, and it will probably the only time I'll use it aswell... now if I could just ween myself of Chalet I think Ill be making progress!

great work Paul. *i am with Tony, the y is bothering a bit and i wished that tag line was closer to the 'Sweeney's' text. or maybe even on top of the symbol on the semicircle between the end leaves.*anyway, it might be too late for such revisions:p

I hear ya claude... the only thing is that this logos main application is Signage and packaging. The tag while its unsightly in how I applied it here is always used as a sign of somewhere. So lets say in advert it usually sits to the right of the logo. I think the letterform Y in this font is quite sexy, reminds of nigella lawson! but i can see where you guys are coming from, I only have it here to qualify the logo and the mark. But thanks for your input, its funny I was never really proud of this I just put it down to one of those jobs, but when it was applied it looked great on uniforms and signage, and it was great to see a small business taking such pride in their identity when they are always competing against large corporate supermarkets.
