Create a vintage, organic logo for a craft distillery in East Tennessee that embraces the region of the Appalachian Moun

Canopy Distilling Company

We are a craft distillery specializing in locally sourced products. We plan to sell whiskey, vodka and rum produced primarily from locally sourced grains (corn, rye, wheat, barley) Our target audience is anyone who appreciates quality craft spirits anywhere in the world.

We would like our company story to be incorporated into our logo design. We have 2 key elements that could potentially be incorporated. We would like to see options for both "stories" and you can choose whichever one strikes you the most or the one that you believe has the most compelling design elements. OPTION 1: We started our distillery as 3 old friends that were making moonshine under a tent (canopy) as a hobby on the weekends in East Tennessee. We have been hobby brewers and distillers for years and have taken our experiences to create several unique and locally sourced product that we plan to produce from "grain to glass". OPTION 2: We are located in East Tennessee (Knoxville, TN) near the Great Smokey Mountains and the history our region is embedded in our spirits. For generations, people in our area have produced whiskey/ moonshine hidden by the forest canopy of the Great Smokey Mountains. The rivers, trees, mountains have provided resources and natural protection. We have embraced the tradition of the mountains and the people that lived under this forest canopy and helped develop many of the techniques and trade work that is still associated with the craft spirits industry. OPTION 3: Incorporate both elements into the design (forest canopy/ tent canopy). Additional: Could also incorporate Tennessee Elements (state flag or shape of state)
