Beer-Type Logos

Beer-Type Logos: Brewery-style logo designs created from font names

June 4, 2015/1 Comment/in Branding, Portfolio/by Matt Everley

1 year. 52 logos. Holy crap.

Beer-Type Logos is a personal graphic design project where I have challenged myself to create 52 logos—1 logo per week for the entire year of 2015—that use a different font to create a unique brewery or beer logo. The idea for beertypelogos.com was born from the many taphandle graphics I have done over the past year for Granite Falls Brewing Company in Granite Falls, North Carolina. I have been completing small, one-off type treatments for GFB that have inspired me to create my own line of brewery-style logos and now have an active blog where I showcase these logos and the beer and fonts that inspired them.

Drafting design inspiration from two things I love

I have several goals and objectives in this endeavor, and you can read more about this project here. But for the most part, I’m doing it for the love of beer and type. I’m fascinated with craft beer and tasting the many offerings of North Carolina and beyond. And likewise I’m totally consumed with logo design and the fonts used to create them.

What better way to celebrate craft beer and design?

Take a look at Weeks 1 thru 12 below…

Mobile-Friendly Test – How will Google’s update affect my website?

April 21, 2015/0 Comments/in Opinion, SEO, Web Design/by Matt Everley

Google has modified their search algorithm again and in view of their big update on April 21 (see links below), this will impact all websites that aren’t mobile-friendly. You can check your website by putting your URL through a Google Mobile-Friendly Test and check whether your website is ready to face Google’s update:

» Check your website’s mobile friendliness

[Update] In addition—or alternatively—you can test your mobile speed via Think with Google.

Despite delivering a 100% user experience, your website may also lagging behind in page speed, both in mobile and desktop, and needs to be fixed.

  • Google to Penalize Non-Mobile Sites Starting in April

Should you and your website be concerned? Sources say the new mobile-friendly ranking algorithm will have several times more of an impact on Google’s search results than the Google Panda or Penguin update did, and you might end up losing up to 60% of your traffic. I can’t vouch for that percentage, but it definitely raises some eyebrows!

What can I do to avoid being penalized?

To be on the safe side, consider converting your website to a fully responsive website that is functional on all mobile platforms. You should also optimize your website for mobile search in conformity with Google updates. And of course if you need assistance, contact a web professional such as myself!
