Research
Burgundy is a red, warm color, a mixture of pink and red. Its hex is #800020 and is made of 50.2% red, 0% green, and 12.5% blue. Its deep reddish brown shade is inspired by wine from the Burgundy region of France. That region is named after the ancient Germanic tribe, Burgundians. It is a sophisticated and serious red color that symbolizes ambition, wealth, and power.
Sketches
For the sketches, I created the first concept to be of a wine bottle spilled its wine with the name of the bottle being Burgundy.
My second concept was based on Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. I would create a man in a burgundy suit, similar to the one in the movie.
My last concept was just the word only in a severe and sophisticated font surrounded by the color, burgundy.
Concept #1
This concept shows the wine bottle spilling burgundy wine. It also has blue, white, and red on the edge to reveal the France flag. The font chosen is an elegant script.
This concept is an illustration of a man in a burgundy suit. It is inspired by Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. The font used is similar to the font used in the movie poster. I also added a mustache to the design, similar to the one in the movie.
This concept has the font in a modern typeface to make it look sophisticated. France is colored in burgundy with the French region, Burgundy is colored in white. France is outlined with a blue, white, and red gradient which represents the flag.
