Can you rebrand and still keep your old logo? Let’s find out.

CODO Design has spent years working with craft breweries on branding and positioning, package design and web design and have gathered their experience into the Craft Beer Branding Guide, a comprehensive guide to help startup breweries navigate the entire branding process. Check it out and learn how to make your brewery stand out.

This is the first in a three-part video series tackling some of the questions we weren’t able to get to during CODO’s and Craft Brewing Business‘s recent Crash Course in Craft Beer Branding Webinar — you can watch that webinar right here. Let’s get into these questions…

Question No. 1 (:37)

Can I rebrand and still keep my old logo?

Read more about rebranding here.

Question No. 2 (3:09)

How do you create a branding strategy that reflects who you are as a company and is appealing to your audience at the same time?

We mentioned a few resources here for framing your core brand values:

Question No. 3 (4:51)

Do you want to work with startups from Europe? If so, how do you work remotely?

We’ve worked with breweries all over the United States as well as folks in Scotland, Australia and Mexico. Here’re a few examples of remote projects we’ve tackled:

Fernson Brewing Co. (Sioux Falls, S.D.)

North Pier Brewing Co. (Benton Harbor, Mich).

Kros Strain Brewing (La Vista, Neb.)

Carmen Beer Co. (Playa del Carmen, Meixco)

And here’s a bit more info on finding and hiring a design partner — right here.

Question No. 4 (7:32)
