Hi there,

Would love to participate in your project, however I would need more detail simply because illustrating takes a lot of time. And a lot of it would be wasted if we aren't clear from the get-go. I'm sure this would help other designers as well:

1. When you say Monk, are you thinking more "friar" or "shaolin"?
2. Are you open to having the monk character in more of a playful pose (such as holding the beverage or something similar) or more of a serious pose?
3. You require some sort of badge, correct? (something like: http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/202205 ?)
4. Do you want to reference Australia somehow?

Please reply to this comment so that I'll be notified as well.

Thanks.

Hi Lei,







thank you for your interest in the Project. We''ve shared your Qs and As to all designers responding to the Project brief and as you''re rightly pointed out, they may benefit most/all:

1. When you say Monk, are you thinking more "friar" or "shaolin"?

Wiki offers some guidance: Monk means any "person who practices religious asceticism, living either alone or with any number of other monks. A monk may be a person who decided to dedicate his life to serving all other living beings, or to be an ascetic who voluntarily chooses to leave mainstream society and live his life in prayer and contemplation. The concept is ancient and can be seen in many religions and in philosophy."







We''re dedicated brew monks, serving all other living beings - beer!

2. Are you open to having the monk character in more of a playful pose (such as holding the beverage or something similar) or more of a serious pose?

Open to any suggestion, providing the design is professional, uncluttered, distinct and meeting the design brief. This can be a humorous or serious attempt but please not being boring!

3. You require some sort of badge, correct? (something like: http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/202205 ?)

The logo will be used as badge on a (brown) beer bottle. Pending on the design, this can be stand-alone or the beer type (e.g. "Australian Pale Ale") incorporated in the design as we anticipate to release 6 standard and many special editions. Please refer also to question 4.

4. Do you want to reference Australia somehow?

We aspire to have a strong regional presence (South East Queensland, Brisbane - Australia) and the design may take this into account without being blunt. However, legal regulations require the origin and details of the product to be provided, which we anticipate the back and neck/top label to do provide whilst complementary to also feature ''our story''. This leaves the designer the flexibility to create a clear, recognizable logo without loading the front label up with too much information. 







Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the invite, I've submitted my design. Feedback is appreciated.
