An Identity system was created, composed by different logo versions that will carry out each requested function, e.g. identity, products and lagers, packaging, web and media, etc.

The logo structure was made thinking in modules that got combined to generate the logo.

The starting point is the ancient beer jug.

Along with this brewery logo, t-shirts, vehicle graphics, caps, etc were developed around the slogan concept: “Exploring the science of beer”

The key element here is a blackboard style background plenty of formulas and diagrams to communicate the scientific exploration process.
