Vintage-Styled Logo for Craft Mead Business

Our craft mead business is ready for a distinctive mark and I have a clear vision to guide you. The logo should carry a vintage feel—think of the kind of artwork you might see on an old apothecary label—while still looking crisp on modern packaging.

Core elements I want locked in: a bat as the focal graphic and lettering that leans into a subtle Gothic font style. I’m picturing a composition that feels elegant rather than spooky, so fine linework and balanced negative space will help. Color-wise, I’d like a palette built around black, gray, and a deep red accent; these shades should translate well to single-color uses, too.

When the design is finished I’ll need vector artwork (AI or EPS) plus high-resolution PNG and PDF versions. Please include both full-color and one-color variations so I have flexibility for labels, merchandise, and social media. If you use any non-standard fonts, either outline them or provide the license details.

I’ll give feedback quickly as concepts come in and can supply bottle images for realistic mock-ups once we’re close. Let’s craft a logo that feels timeless, a little mysterious, and instantly recognizable on a shelf of mead.
