Shwag and Oak Creek Wine

Hopefully these pics show up this time, but anywho, here are some logos I had came up with during the weekend.

The "S" logo is for a information design class where we (group of 4) create a brandname, logo, and website for the product we plan to distribute and carry. I'm not 100% behind the name, being the other members of the group created a 1,000 brand names based on this word (shwag) alone. I just wanted to get to work and pump some logos out.

So here it is. The group decided to sell a clothing line directed towards young adults who are in to the extreme sports or what not. Skating, BMX, Surfing, Snowboaring. So I came up with this and applied a pattern on top and messed with a couple of things for added effects.

Next logo is for that wine company I've spoken about in previous posts. I originally wanted to go for a different logo, but felt it had too much and wasn't going to work the way I had wanted it to be. I felt the logo I am about to show you guys, does the job right and is overall better then the initial one I had wanted to do.

It's pretty much a circular foil stamping with the center showing the top of a group of grapes with the stem sticking out. I'm pretty much happy with it, I just hope that it makes sense to other people as well, and not just myself.

Here is a full color version of it along with a close up viewing of detail and what not.

That's a very elegant and stylish font that you choose. Add to that a image of a flower (I think) and you create a very 'Upmarket Womens' looking logo.

Sorry to say it, but that is how a see the logo. What is there that says EXTREME in it?

In my opinion this isn't a youthful, extreme sports logo. Try a more bold and agressive font, choose a different image to lay over top. Rework it.

Not being nasty - just saying what I personally see in the logo.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I focused too much on just the surfing or skating aspect of what our company has to "sell".

I'll go back and "roughen" it up, work some more on it. I got a bunch of graffiti type fonts to work with, so I'll try those out, thanks again man.

Post a few different rough versions and I'll gladly give you some quick opinions, after all a logo has to try and instantly tell people what the company/product is all about.

I think it actually looks good, but not for that usage.
