Big Grove Brewery Logomark Illustrated by Steven Noble

Big Grove Brewery needed to update and improve the quality of the brewery’s brand image. Graham Spencer contacted Steven Noble to come up with a unique and creative way to combine elements of both hops with an oak tree and include a half acorn half hop logo mark. The end result were original and conceptual illustrations never visualized before for an identity.

Client Background:

Solon, Iowa is a tiny bedroom community just outside Iowa City. It is home to one of the finest small craft brewery/restaurants in the United State: Big Grove Brewery. In 2016, Big Grove was executing a dramatic expansion into a 28,000 sq. ft property in Iowa City that features a 10X increase in brewing capacity to 10,000 bbl/yr (310,000 gallons). 

Big Grove’s ultimate goal is to be a hub of activity, fun and hometown love in a newly redeveloping sector of the city they cherish; to continue to serve up great beer and food and to help preserve and protect Iowa’s natural spaces and local culture.
