Wicked Barrel Brewery

Wicked Barrel is micro-brewery based in the town of Bicaz (Romania) that produces craft beers using unique recipes & natural ingredients - they make some of the best rated craft beers in Romania (find out more here www.wickedbarrel.ro ).

Given the name I wanted to create something that would feel a bit dark but in the same time (wicked) cool. First I designed a custom wordmark where the 'W' became a pitchfork and some of the letters have small horn-like serifs. The logo had to include a barrel but after making dozens of sketches that I thought were way too busy, I've had the idea of using only the top of the barrel with the wordmark on it and the silhouette of a demon / devil that lifts it while trying to get out.
