Looks good,
Is it worth trying to get some text saying something like, homebrewing in fingal or homebrewers club or north co. Dublin s first homebrew club,  in  somewhere on it, just to give us a bit more identity???
Just my tuppunce worth :)

I love the original green version. Monochrome is so "50 shades of Grey" outdated lovey!

Yes we need the text nut once we get the graphi9c the text should be easy !?!?

After the meet last night we decided to sort this once and for all. Chatting on the WhatsApp group this morning, we put up the following options. What you think?

All of these can be made into different sizes and types for t-shirts, beermats etc as well, once we have the text and taglines.

I like the first one best but all 4 are excellent.

Btw:

We had our first meet in the Boro Dec. 11th 2012.

There are photos still:

"After a long night in a dark-room full of great beers from you all I developped and printed up a few snaps ( Don't we just love digitral cameras ).

Here the link to flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrfc_photos/sets/72157632230244582/

It will look great on a banner.

[and we could always poke a hole where his eye is and mount a red led or better still a laser pointer behind the banner]

for me it's #1.

I'd rule out the second one straight away. Too boring.
I like 3 and 4 a lot. But because it's so black it's hard to make out the features unless up close. 3 just looks like wings.

Also I disagree with what was said on the Whatsapp group about the gap between words needing to be in the middle. Looks great the way it is. Bigger "Brewers" though.

Great work. I'm certainly buying the T-Shirt :)

Cool logo lads.

Speaking as someone from beyond the pale though wouldn't ye put 'Dublin' on it somewhere?

Mightn't be as big a deal for Irish comps/fares/what-have-you but for anything international it might be helpful

Ok let's push this along. At the last meet, Will and myself were chatting and agreed on the below logo. Now we just need some tag lines and the formats we want to see the logo in and we can push ahead.

What say ye!

Post by: Leann ull on January 28, 2016, 10:08:40 AM
12 months discussing that?
Where are the lasers?
Title: Re: logo
Post by: Will_D on January 28, 2016, 10:56:09 AM
Oh nooo Not the Lasers again!

Anyway I would suggest the main heading to be North County Brewers and under that The Natioanl Homebrew club web address and even one of those square bar codes to our NCB forum?

Cool, I'll do that up a little later and post the image. All sounds nice and easy.

So, the banner would just be all of that. Any other formats wanted? Tweaks for t-shirts?
Title: Re: logo
Post by: Will_D on January 28, 2016, 11:57:57 PM
So based on the NHC banner discussion:

Something like:

But with Our logo on the left, N C B as the 3 big text lines and the NHC web address below (ps no need for www) and maybe the square bar code thingy?

What thinks us?

For the Polos and Tees:

Logo on front, Web stuff on the back??

Or the other way round??

Or both??

Align sure, but I don't think it looks as well without the ^^^. I'll center the gap in the text around the ^^^ symbols and it should look more symmetric. I'll also do a quick mockup without the symbols and let people pick which they prefer.

It's good but it's not right.

Needs more lasers.

Well I for one like the ^^^ and vvv it gives the raven an edgy feeling.

Just like us brewers in NCB; never relaxed or lazy, we are on the go and on edge all the time

And just like the Coors rocky mountains labels it shows that we have one or two little hills in the north county and also that the backroads roads are crap!

Ok, here are the final options then. I tried addding a QR code, but it looked posy - something we can add to the edge of a banner though...

Hehe, no favourites, just giving the people what they want.

So, do I just send the source image to James? What format do you need? I have it in svg for scaling to any size, if that works with the printers.

Also if you want more info on the banner, I need to add that to the image also. If someone can also get the banner dimensions I can mock up a scale model.
