I came to this webpage via Twitter. Seeing the preliminary logo makes me think Irish or Celtic. The name Twin Leaf conjurs up thoughts of nature. If your brewing stays on the side of all natural ingredients, I think you’re on to something. I like it.

Good luck.

Cut the tail off of the “w” and the “a”. You will increase readability while still maintaining the style.

Initially people tend to like things they can understand more than things they have to figure out. Once you are established, then you can become more esoteric.

Awesome, that’s exactly the look I was going for with the logo. And that last part had not previously occurred to me :)

Thanks to all for the comments! It sounds like the name and logo give exactly the impression that we were going for.

I really like it, boththe name and the logo. The font has a definite Celtic / LOTR / elvin feel to it; nothing wrong with that, of course, just the first thing I thought of when I looked at it.

Also, be prepared to have drunken idiots turn the W of “Twin” into a weiner with balls. I have the mind of a 12-year-old, I know.

Figured I should add my two cents.. :)

My first thought was Minneapolis / St. Paul. I see Twin [whatever] and think of the Twin cities.

After that, I though of two leaves falling slowly in the wind. The sort of thing you watch while siting in an Adirondack chair on the back deck while enjoying a good Oktoberfest from the local brewery.

I pictured a Mojito because that’s the first drink I think of that might actually have leaves in it. However, knowing it’s a brewery, I’m now picturing a glass of beer with a mint leaf on top. Knowing you, you probably know all sorts of beers that a mint aroma would work with. I also think of Doubletree hotels.

However, as many people have pointed out, the name is only a name until it has a (terrific) product associated with it!

The first thought that entered my mind was a winery. Probably because of the “Turning Leaf” brand.

@djwebman said: @StephWeber Your are right about other brewery names flying dog etc. It has a nice sound and once you get brand recogition it will be fine.

Without reading the other comments, my 2 cents.

Images of scenic mountains. maybe a few farms in the fore and middle. Just trees on the mountains. The trees in the image are either green or yellow with some orange. Think Shandoah valley in VA summer and then height of fall.

Small place where a few locals would come regularly and the occasional out of towner might find a hidden gem.

Beers would be clean, crisp in the summer, more rounded in the winter. No sour beers, nor a really big IPA. Possibly a good barley wine in the winter.

The question that comes to mind is with brewery in the name, you have beer, what is the 2nd part of the twin?
