Logo Design - this is us
This is us. This is our brand.
Our logo is elegant, yet simple. It depicts an elegant drawing of mountains and grape vines intertwined. However it is simplistic with being only black and white with a splash of color. That is us as well. We like nice things, but we’re very simplistic. We are the neighbor next-door. We are a working family that enjoys classy things but don’t need anything over the top. We want to cater to our customers that enjoy a great wine at a good price.
Our logo represents our marriage. Our first date was on a hike in the mountains of Colorado. We planted a vineyard on our property here in Sherwood Oregon. Our logo shows where we have come. Almost 20 years of marriage and our story is still growing and intwined.
This is us… Marr Cellars.
