Logo for importer of fine spirits

J & M Heritage Imports LLC

We are an independent importer of fine spirits based in Atlanta, USA. We specialize in heritage-based yet innovative boutique spirits produced in the South of France. We carry a small but diversified portfolio of exclusive high-quality brands including Bache-Garbrielsen Cognac, P&M Corsican Whisky, Mavela Eaux de Vie and Ice Tropez Sparkling wine cocktail.

We have been established for five years and are rebranding ourselves. We require a logo for use on client communications (e.g. memos, letters) and marketing materials (e.g., brochures, email blasts, business cards, advertisements, website, Facebook).

Our primary target audience is distributors who market our products in the different states. Beyond that, our portfolio of brands caters mostly to the needs of a discerning clientele of trendy 30 to 40 year-old urban consumers.

We seek a distinctive, professional picture image logo which will blend the concept of luxury French traditional fine spirits (our brands) with trendy urban American culture (the consumers). You can incorporate a stylized shield/crest or other figurative element in your design if you wish but the end-result has to be fresh, dynamic, modern. All our products are made in South of France.

The Logo should be simple and clean. It should be able to stand alone but should also be easily integrated with the words J&M Heritage Imports LLC. Your submission should include the words J&M Heritage Imports LLC although ultimately the logo may be used without them.

Color preferences include light grays, shades of blue, possibly light peach or pink. Colors should blend with those of our select brands. For information visit:

The logo must also look good in single colors/black and white.

Font preferences include contemporary-looking fonts such as Helvetica Neue Light/Ultralight.

We are looking for something elegant, modern that expresses also tradition and artisanship, high quality and upmarket.

The logo should be provided in a layered psd file and a jpeg file. Feel free to include samples of your vision of how the logo will be used on letterhead, business cards...
 Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
