:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/67/67444/attachment_67444159 "The client wanted something 'local' that made people think of a local lad running his own restaurant and suggested a colourful rooster. Nothing with pasta or cutlery was wanted, and it needed to feel both masculine and slightly rustic.
I used several photos of roosters as reference material for the colours - note that I did not trace nor closely reference any images beyond a vague pose match for one wonderfully arrogant looking rooster.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/65/65862/attachment_65862059 "The client emphasized the need for a tree-based design. I chose to use a beer bottle silhouette combined with an oak tree design (inverted to create a photo-negative effect). The oak tree is a design I've worked with before (but not previously sold) and was drawn in Photoshop, heavily filtered, then vectorized in Illustrator.
Since this isn't specifically a bottle logo (more a brewery logo) it seemed relevant to include a bottle rather than the more traditional hops+wheat style designs.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/64/64078/attachment_64078685 "The CH wanted something stereotypical and not too serious. He also wanted to avoid the usual hipster version of manliness. I chose to use a body builder, with a slightly cartoonish style. The fonts are bold and strong, very manly!
The 'Food Blog' part needed to be easily removed from the rest of the design as the logo will be used for other things.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/64/64030/attachment_64030309 "With little to go on from the brief (other than a mention of being 'upscale' and wanting something modern) I chose to go with a modern 'flat' style 3D design.
The bottle is cut open and twisted.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/59/59015/attachment_59015083 "Used freely available height data from Natural Earth and NASA to render most of the background in ArcGIS. Tidied it up in Photoshop by hand (accuracy was not expected from the client). Client wanted location points similar to Google Maps but not matching too closely. Added shadows to help lift the location points visually.")
