It’s not often logo design leads the news cycle, but the latest rebrand of Cracker Barrel has pretty much been a disaster. This only illustrates how important it is to respect your brand and hire the right people to get it right. Hey Cracker Barrel drop us a DM we can help fix this mess.

Cracker Barrel stock plunged as much as 15% after the restaurant chain released a new logo that removes its long-time image of a man leaning against a barrel.

Yaaawwnnnnn.... yep, it's Monday. Wait. No it's not. It's Tuesday. Time definitely flies. So why wait to get your Oyster roast passes? $25 per car gets you into this event, and helps support local teenagers' dream of eradicating Leukemia & Lymphoma, take in the special show from a small group of SOA singers and support LLS. Let's support them!

Great to see our latest label design in the real world. Mmmm … mead!

The wait is over...our second bottled mead is finally here! Introducing Eden's Temptation! This mead will be released at our Chocolate Pairing tomorrow October 30th. The link for tickets and more information is in our bio! If you're not attending the Harry Potter themed Chocolate Pairing still come on out dressed up in a fun costume and enjoy W***y Bruenner and Jake Willis as our live music and La'Son Anchor Grill as our food truck! This will also be the first Fall Saturday we have our mulled wine and as usual we will have our spicy bloody mary's, mimosa flights, wine slushies, draft mead by the glass and flight along with wine by the glass and the bottle. Come on out and sign up for a regular tasting too! Have a great and safe Halloween weekend!

That's one sexy label and an even more delicious wine. Yum!

**Limited Time** Our Seasonal Fruit Wine, EVENTIDE, is now available for tasting and purchase in the special 375 ml bottles. This little Blackberry Merlot is our first ever released and it is a winner! The blackberry subtly adds depth to this light merlot, this dry blend is best served in the moonlight of an "anything-could-happen" kind of night.

Never underestimate the power of a trademark.

An ongoing dispute between two Lowcountry biscuit producers who both express their breakfast pastry philosophies with a skull and crossed rolling pins may be headed to federal court.

For all you type nerds out there. You know who you are. Enjoy.

The Italian graphic designer, or logo guru, as one might say, Emanuele Abrate, shows what fonts some of the most popular brands chose to represent them by replacing names in logos with logo fonts.
