Fun design for a liquor brand
This is a project for a liquor company focused on honoring OGs.
I combed through ~700 or so typefaces to find very cool retro 'double-story' G's that typify that mid-century domestic pilsner and malt liquor look, edited it to make it sharp and modern where the loop meets the body.
I paired with a classic 'old english' blackletter typeface for 'The Old', again for that mid-century aesthetic.
I had an Aha! moment when I recognized the bracket hole in the G resembled a Can so I added that for more graphic design propositional density.
I played with using a can tab as the 'ear' on the G but settled on a modifed droplet which plays upon the liquor itself and also 'pouring one out for the homies'.
