<p>Northern Virginia&#8217;s Winery and Vineyards tours would not be the same without &#8220;Drinking Naked&#8221; &#8211; the famous tag line of Naked Mountain Winery and Vineyards. New owners, Randy and Meagan (and the entire Naked Mountain family), sought to honor the history of the winery while working tirelessly to ensure it reaches a new generation of passionate Virginia wine enthusiasts. We were proud design and create the complete rebrand of their logo and company image. With wings reminiscent of vineyard rows and the body of a wine glass, the new hawk embodies the spirit of honoring the winery&#8217;s past while looking to the future. We recreated all of their print materials as well as designing and developing a new website, complete with SEO, social media and blogging.</p>
