Filed Under: Respect the Grape
We know everyone and their mother has blogged it, but this Soggy Bottom Boys Sauvignon Blanc wine label is so perfectly fits our Who’s The Boss trend that we can’t resist doing the same. Way to tell us what to do Soggy Bottom Boys!
Show some respect.
Don’t let the grapes’ sacrifice be in vain!

So please stop thinking of the brand as nothing more than a logo, tagline and PMS color swatches. A brand is the guide that will help you understand who your company really is. Find out who you are, then let this guide you toward being true to yourself and to your customers.

Elsa (East Village)
Goat Town (East Village)
Against Nature (LES)
Manhattan Inn (Greenpoint)
Duckduck (Bushwick)

Custom Inspector Stamp Production - Cranky Printery & Bindery
So clever and convenient. At $23 each, these are a cheap way to leave a lasting impression on someone. And you would be hard-pressed to be without your contact info.
