Challenge & Response
The Request
The client needed a distinctive logo for their new artisanal beer brand, “Cerveza Barracas.” The design had to feel classic yet unique — standing out on labels, bottles, and merchandising — and evoke the rich cultural vibe of the Barracas neighborhood, known for its historical and bohemian identity.
The Solution
We created a custom wordmark combining refined vintage typography with hand-drawn details. The use of serif forms with swashes gives the brand a crafted, timeless personality, while the hop-and-barley illustration anchors it to the world of brewing.
