Logo Designs for the FOHBC 2018 Cleveland National Antique Bottle Convention & Expo
Logo concepts were presented to the FOHBC 2018 Cleveland National Antique Bottle Convention & Expo co-chairs Louis Fifer and Matt Lacy (& Elizabeth Lacy) on Sunday evening, 24 April 2016.
Every great American city has a founding father, historical landmarks and participated in our countries growth. Cleveland, Ohio is no different. What is exciting here is the transformation and revitalization of Cleveland through good infrastructure planning, diversification and investment in the arts. Cleveland is synonymous with the FOHBC Next Generation initiative.
See Concept Presentation. The presentation was received well. Concept F seemed to be the front runner after the first round.
The Cleveland co-chairs requested revisions in the Design Development phase which was presented today, 28 April 2016.
See Design Development Presentation.
The favored concept, after Design Development, is represented below along with what might be a full page advertisement in the FOHBC 2016 Sacramento National Antique Bottle Convention & Expo Souvenir Program. The Eli electric guitar, which is made in Cleveland, where the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is located, is married to a historical scroll flask which is sensual and lyrical in shape. The GIX-45 pint has been used in the art and is in the corset style. Mckearin thought the flask was from the Pittsburgh district. The raised upturned wings, as in a Baltimore Resurgam flask, give the design a more dramatic look. The project typography is neatly controlled beneath the design. The logo was then placed on a deckled powder blue background with a golden frame.
