2016 Sacramento National Antique Bottle Convention Logo Designs

I had some time this morning in the airport and on the flight home to put together some rough, low-res logo concepts for the 2016 Sacramento National Antique Bottle Convention logo designs. This art will follow the art used for the 2014 Lexington National Antique Bottle Show and the upcoming 2015 Chattanooga Antique Bottle Show and be used for advertising, promotion, banners, posters etc.

I have used a Sacramento Madison Avenue sculpture image of Atlas Holding up the World. This is symbolic of the FOHBC unifying the collecting hobby and clubs. This is also a “going back to our roots’ convention as the Federation originated in Sacramento. Please review the art and let me know your favorite. Send to fmeyer@fohbc.org. Gracias!
PS: Do not be fearful that there is no FOHBC logo or lots of bottles. This can be added as support imagery.

I like concept B, and your phrase “going back to our roots”. I had thought about the phrase “where it all began”. Really hoping that this inaugural convention in California is one for the history books!
Hey Ferd, I lean toward Concept D, but I would try using a narrow stroke sans serif for “NATIONAL ANTIQUE BOTTLE CONVENTION” to eliminate that “eye chart” look and have all the lettering the same color as the darkest of the items in the picture. I haven’t tried it on this layout, so it may not pan out as I envision it. Thanks for listening and for all you do for us, Jimmy (Bray)
Will the average collector really relate Atlas holding up the world to the Federation or to antique bottles? It’s turn-of-the-century industrial look is dark and heavy. How about something more symbolic of and identifiable with the West; new opportunity, growth; prosperity…the gold rush.
Randy Selenak – I used to praise and compliment Ferd on his graphic design but this logo is ridiculous and really sucks!!!!!
