Logo Design Brief
We need a logo for a new liquor distillery/liquor master brand.
The logo will appear on corporate communications materials, liquor packaging (labels, secondary case pkg, etc.),
We see the brand being clean/fresh, sophisticated yet approachable, multifaceted (a logo that would work across multiple spirit lines, i.e. vodka, bourbon, tequila, etc.).
We would be open to these logo styles- wordmark, wordmark/abstract combo, or similar.
Logo color is secondary in importance as on liquor packaging, white is predominant so it stands out. However, we would possibly use more color on corporate communications, etc., so colored logos are acceptable.
The final design should allow for usage across all business areas, including bottle labels, embossed bottle stamping, premium items (caps, shirts, etc.), signage, corporate communications, etc.
Thanks for your interest in this project and we look forward to being surprised by your creativity.
Updates
Hello, I have just added some images of a semi-proprietary bottle we are looking to use for the brand. We would emboss the logo on the side (either vertically or horizontally- TBD), then either use painted on/serigraphy label or pressure sensitive (depending on the final detail of the package design).

Requirements
Must have
- The Logo must have oomph/appeal at the shelf level. The liquor business is a very competitive environment and the logo must reach out to a prospective purchaser and capture their attention.
Should not have
- While the name URBAN suggests inner city graphics such as graffiti, etc, we want the logo to appeal to all races, creeds, sex, etc. So, let's shy away from too specific of urban lifestyle please.
