N/A
No
This design is about creating a strong traditional and quality-oriented image for our artisan distillery. Design elements used in this logo will reflect: 1. the historic significance of our Missouri River location, and 2. our commitment to quality in the raw materials we use and the distilled spirits we produce.
We are looking for a logo and associated typeface. Design needs to be scalable, readable and reproducible in both color and b&w.

Earth tones, perhaps with burgundy as an accent color. Nothing garish. You guys decide and we'll respond.

Read the Pinckney Bend Story below, and take a look at the attached old Missouri River Maps illustrating where Pinckney Bend is today, and where the town of Pinckney once was.
The Pinckney Bend Story
Pinckney Bend was a navigational hazard well known to generations Missouri River boatmen. Located at mile marker 83 above St. Louis, it is the site of a once-thriving town long since disappeared, and a stretch of river where at least five 19th century steamboats were wrecked, including the famous side-wheeler Spread Eagle.
Today, its namesake, the Pinckney Bend Distillery in New Haven, Missouri, celebrates the legend and lore of this vanished town. The river has changed course since those early days, but standing on the levee not far from the distillery’s front door and looking westward, you can almost see where the town of Pinckney once stood.
In its day the town of Pinckney was one of the last outposts on a difficult and dangerous journey into the territory that Lewis & Clark had just explored. It was the place where pioneers could secure their last jug of strong spirits before heading up the Missouri River in search of a new home in the West.
On the frontier whiskey was as valuable --and as essential-- as powder and shot. We know that there was no shortage of strong spirits in Pinckney. We are also fairly certain that spirits were being distilled in Pinckney, but at this juncture recorded history grows sparse and legend is our only guide. Some folks believe that Pinckney’s distiller was an adventurous and enterprising young Scandinavian named Jørgen Nüde, who may have arrived with his copper pot still sometime in the spring of 1820.
Fast forward to the present. Today the Pinckney Bend Distillery celebrates the town of Pinckney and its legendary distiller, Jørgen Nüde. Our goal is simple; to produce premium quality, handcrafted spirits worthy of their heritage.
See the map attachments. We love the look of these old maps, but they are probably way to busy to use in our logo.
