Blackthorn Mountain Winery Logo

Blackthorn Mountain Winery is an artisanal winery. Started in 2005, Blackthorn Mountain Winery specializes in the limited bottling of handcrafted wines. Our wines are created using old world techniques. Our winery requires a logo that may be used on the following media: business cards letterheads envelopes notepads press packets web site wine bottle labels As of now, we have no definite ideas as to what the logo should look like. We need a designer capable of translating our winery name and winemaking techniques into a well-designed logo. We have some general requirements: - nothing too new school or flashy - should be traditional style, e.g. European wine style, good references are French, Italian, and German wine labels - we have a set of key words we generated, see below: traditional boutique artisanal craft flavor bouquet to accompany fine food small-lot attention to detail extended lees aging neutral oak sustained maceration art bon gout charnu sur lie - here are the 'voices' we would like for presentation: traditional, snobby, upscale, elite - we had a few concepts initially but are not dedicated to them: 1 old school french wine label style, image of chateau, overgrown by blackthorn bushes 2 some type of stylized thorny vine image Here is how we derived the winery name: **content to be place here** We need individual capable of deriving logo design from above info and executing actual logo creation in digital format. We have a flexible schedule, but completion within the next month would be nice. We are available to collaborate online via e-mail and IM for most of every work day and available on phone most evenings. Budget flexible to a certain degree.
