The creative process for branding Hops and Honey, a small meadery targeting "wine moms," involved a thoughtful approach to convey a sense of artisanal and small-batch quality. The chosen brand name, Hops and Honey, reflects the key ingredients in mead and suggests a connection to wine. The logo features a fat bee symbol, emphasizing the natural sweetness of honey, and incorporates gold and white colors to evoke a sense of sophistication and luxury. The hidden hops sign in the logo caters to the craft aspect of the meadery. Overall, the branding aims to appeal to the target audience of wine moms by combining elegance, craftsmanship, and a touch of playfulness.
