We need a logo design for our online wine platform called Piercing the Vine. The site features video wine courses, as well as featured short videos about wineries/winemakers (think mini Chef Table episodes). Purpose is to help regular people learn enough to navigate wine lists, and to get people to think differently about wine as a cultural and social experience, not just an alcoholic beverage. Wine is fun, social, yet refined - so are we! Key words: simplicity, history, culture, sophistication. Neutral colors - black/white is great, or silver/gold. Feel free to try a pop of red, but we'd would rather go with classic/sophisticated than punchy. Ideally looking for a logo with the name or initials and some "wine" embellishments (grapes? vines? a wine glass/bottle?). Looking forward to your designs!
Target Market(s)
Young professionals. But the logo should speak to anyone with a love of the finer things in life.
