It seems that Buffalo Rising’s YUM section is bringing foodies, business owners and BR readers together more and more every day. In August we finished up a contest involving the naming of a new restaurant, and I must say the logo is spectacular. We have also tallied the final votes from the Fantasy Foodball playoffs and are currently talking to restaurants about hosting a Buffalo Rising night that will be open to everyone. We have more events and contests in store for you, this one included!
There’s been a lot of chatter on the site in recent weeks about the specialty shop opening on Elmwood in the space formerly occupied by Chef Deli. For more information, you can check out Newell’s first post, or last week’s, which followed-up on some of the working being done to the building’s interior.
Mel and Tammy Westin, owners of The Village Beer Merchant, slated to open in November, have offered our readers an exciting opportunity! The store will appeal to consumers looking for gourmet food and specialty beers and they’re looking for an inspired and fresh logo. The only stipulations are that the logo contain their name: The Village Beer Merchant, and that all artwork be turned in before 9 AM on Monday, October 8th (Columbus Day). Please submit your piece using this address.
The winning logo may be featured in all of their advertising, signage and branded merchandise. The winner will also receive a feature on BRO, bragging rights and a $25 gift certificate to the shop every month for a year (value $300).
You don’t need to be a pro, though we certainly welcome professional submissions with open arms. So crack open your Photoshop program and get to work!
