Bold City Brewery
June 16, 2009 | 12 Comments

Designed by The Robin Shepherd Group | Country: United States
“In the fall of 2008, Jacksonville, Florida-based Bold City Brewery opened its doors to a community of thirsty beer connoisseurs without a local brew to call their own.
Headed by a mother-son team, Bold City sought a look that would bring character and identity to their selection of brews—as well as tie the beer to its hometown.
The Robin Shepherd Group helped build the brewery’s brand from the ground up, creating a main logo for the brewery, in addition to separate logos for each ale. The Robin Shepherd Group built illustrations that incorporate the Jacksonville skyline and the unique quirks of the brewery and the city. Subjects include Duke, the resident brew hound, an injured and vengeful manatee from the nearby St. Johns River, and “Killer Whale”, the Brew Master’s childhood nickname.
As the brand continues to grow, each logo maintains the levity, hospitality, and hometown pride that Bold City Brewery is now known for.”

I love the style of these labels… The colours work perfectly, the drawings that go with each are very well done. I like the fact that each one has a bit of a different style, I’d pick these up at the store if I was feeling adventurous… but I’m a sucker for well designed beer labels.

As an illustrator, it’s always a treat to see illustrations incorporated greatly into the design. I like works like these that venture into both the illustrator and graphic design world and succeed in it.
Now where can I order those handles?!!!
