Finally decided on a name and logo

[JakeSparrow]

After months of thinking of a good name, I found one I liked. I'll call it Hexwater Brewery. No real meaning behind it, just thought it sounded cool. I designed a logo based on the two words in the name (HW). Here's what the logo and basic label will look like. Thoughts are appreciated, cheers!

Logo is cool, I tend to enjoy the stories behind the names but if it sounds cool to you, go for it.

Thanks! Yah I know, I wish I could come up with a good name/story. I'm good at creative writing, maybe I can just make one up :cross:

I have no "brewery name" and my beer names consist of "Batch X" Follwed by the style, haha. You are not alone my friend.

Definitely make one up. "A long time ago on a lake/river/spring near here.....and that's why it's called Hex Water!"

What he said! Especially if you're a good creative writer

very nice. I'm jealous, what program did you use?

 

[JakeSparrow]

John and Ruger, definitely gonna start brainstorming a good backstory. The Legend of Hexwater.

Packerfan, I used a trial version of Illustrator since I no longer have the program. I try to only use vector programs since you can resize the logo and labels to any size without losing resolution and getting pixelated, blurry pictures. It actually didn't take long, once I came up with how the H and W would go together.

Love the label! Very cool.

 

[Hello]

Great work there. I like it a lot.

 

[Pickle29]

Excellent work. I'm loving that label.

 

[JakeSparrow]

Beer Clings - definitely might consider those reusable labels once I get a few "house ales" recipes perfected. Love that idea, so convenient.

And thanks for the kind words everyone, I appreciate it. Somehow I didn't notice I accidentally deleted the two stars on the left of the label, looking very asymmetrical. No idea how I didn't catch that earlier haha.

 

[Pickle29]

I kinda like it better with only the 2 stars.

Jake,

I like it

I have made labels for all my beers but the first. It's a lot of fun. I too just pick something I like the sound of, that goes with the beer style, and then look for on-line images that go with the name (don't have a lot of [any] drawing talent, but I do think I have a pretty good sense of composition.) I add my own text to the graphics I find. I need to work on a logo however.

Brew on
