So the logo for Welbeck Abbey Brewery have been finalised! It's on the right of this page.
I shall explain where all the shapes and colours come from...
The outline shape. This is from the top of a beautiful early 19th century building in the village called 'The Winnings' (see the piccy)
The original badge of the 'Bentinck' family who own Welbeck was two arms holding feathers, resting in a coronet - which is basically a minor-league version of a crown. There's a lovely gate into the walled garden which shows this incredibly well. So the feathers are the official Welbeck branding, and I've added the 'Ducal Coronet' to complete the look.
The 'W' at the top stands for Welbeck (duh) but I've put it there because the 6th duke of Portland has a fancy 'P' at the top of lots of the buildings.
The colour of the estate is a deep holly green so that's why the background is green, and the actual pump clip will be a shield shape with this in the top.
Tadaa! Let me know what you think.
I love it! Looking forward to seeing it in my local soon.
