Being that we are currently doing some logo and branding for a client in the wine industry, I thought that exploring the world of color might be a fun topic. We have just about finished up our black and white logos for the client and it is almost time to show them some color options. However, the color options are a little tricky since it seems like most companies in the industry use the same old color palate. I know that when people think of wine they think of red, white and blush (pink) but the question is are these are only options and how do I get away from them?

As a designer I have always wondered about those online design companies that offered custom logo services with unlimited revisions in a matter of days. They are my “competition” according to some, but I don’t think I should worry anymore after reading “The 50 Dollar Logo Experiment.” The post was not only amusing (Sorry to those who felt it was cruel!) but it is a perfect example of why you should stay far away from companies like that. That is unless a smiling cheese is what represents your company!
