Sex Appeal and More....

Tomorrow, aka, Saturday March 27th, I have booked a model for a photo shoot, maybe two (models). Babes.

My original concept, i.e. "idea" when I was thinking Beer LOGO, (what really sells beer) is....babes, sex, thongs, beautiful bosoms and the whole package.


Now, with that, in terms of LOGO and SEX APPEAL, what is Colorado?


As far as Big Mountain goes, fast babes on ski. Blurs. Sun, tans.



I have a "Smoking Hot female model coming to my place tomorrow. I may have a second show up.

Here is my equation...


Smoking babe(s) + Colorado's own Iconagraphy.

Double Black Diamond
Black Diamond (100 mph zone)
Blue Black
Blue
Green
Yellow
White

Are there fuzzy animals association that can be made for a logo type label for the beer itself?



I'll post my own mark ups of what I was thinking I could throw down as far a beer bottle labels and sex appeal and what I was thinking for a concept for the LOGO/Branding. I'm doing first hand research on making beer sexy. I thought it would be appropriate to push the sex appeal envelop a bit.

I love Andy J's idea of the E blanket re-usable box liner. ANYTHING reusable here is a good thing.


I'll post sex appeal LOGO mock ups, or at least imagery of my model, with some ideas towards other thoughts...

TiVo

TiVo is a company whose brand and communication are founded on being well designed. The company is focused on heightening its customer's enjoyment of the TV-watching experience. TiVo is similar to Apple in the way the company exemplifies the "rationaissance" keywords, stylish, functional, and iconic. The brand prides itself on its intuitive, user-friendly interface, and well thought-out remote design (with ergonomic form). The brand achieves its goal of increased viewing pleasure by minimizing commercials, and maximizing availability of shows you actually want to watch.

TiVo is also "breaking barriers", in the way that the product the company sells allows its customers to avoid seeing most or all commercials that make watching TV possible (in this country). The idea of "no commercials" in this country is heresy. Such a radical feature of the product has caused much consternation in the advertising world, and proven to be a lucrative aspect of the company's business strategy. Companies now do business with TiVo in order for their commercials to be added to TiVo's customer's database of things to watch, as discussed in the article here.

Burt's Bees

Burt's Bees is another company who seems to have a bright future according to the David Report design trends. They obviously hit on the "responsibiz" category, being all natural, and focused on social responsibility, the environment, and its customer's well-being.

The company also fits in the "cooltural" category, as the brand is centered on the story of the founder, Burt, and his bees. The story includes Burt's hippy personality, which explains his passion for bee farming, and the idea of nature providing the product ingredients. Additionally, the company incorporates its humanitarian and environmental ideals to show how it provides functions that enrich nature, completing the cycle of nature to consumer and back to nature. This sustainable business model is marketed to have a local feel, as opposed to the global, corporate aspect of the competition's brands.

Smart Car

Another brand that exemplifies the design trends written about in the David Report is Smart Car. Smart Car is founded on a minimalist approach to automobile design. It takes part in the historical dialog of that industry, responding to recent concerns about oil dependence and pollution with a somewhat revolutionary idea--that cars don't need to be so big. The aspects of the brand that cause it to fit into the "rationaissance" category naturally lead to the brand fitting into the "responsibiz" category; a paired down, eco-friendly, minimal automobile design that customers can feel reduces their impact on the environment.

The Smart Car brand promotes the idea that being small, affordable, and eco-friendly is "smart". The company's website contains literature supporting the brand's touchpoints of safety and eco-friendliness.
