Label Design Brief
We need a front wine label designed for Sandro, our small, family-owned, Oregon based winery . Sandro makes warm climate red blends with grapes sourced from SE Washington state, USA. We are a startup business with wines for 2013 and 2014.
The name Sandro comes from the Georgian language, and is short for Alexander, my father's name. The Georgians have an 5000-8000 year history of winemaking, out of which they give heartfelt toasts that celebrate kinship, family, and loved ones of the past and future.
The design can be of various aspect ratios, but should fit flatly on a bordeaux style wine bottle.
We would like this wine label to work for red wines, and be convertible to work with white wines with some simple background color changes. The preferred file format is Adobe Illustrator. This label will be digitally printed.
A couple wine labels that I like:
- 14 Hands
- owendesign.com/labels "ruby"
I am including a file to show what the existing Sandro label looks like.
