01 — Brand Concept & Meaning

The identity revolves around the idea of elevating wine to something almost sacred — a refined pleasure, worthy of celebration.
The logo visually transforms a stylized red wine glass into a symbolic icon.

Key conceptual elements include:

  • A minimal red wine glass as the central symbol
  • A golden-yellow circle forming the rim of the glass, evoking a halo
  • Two stylized wings extending from the sides of the stem

The halo and wings subtly suggest the idea of something “divine,” reinforcing the emotional and sensory elevation associated with wine tasting.

02 — Typography & Wordplay

The lettering “furio diVino” is designed using a handwritten style to reflect personality, authenticity, and direct human connection — essential traits for a sommelier.

The colored emphasis on “di” creates a clever double meaning:

  • di-vino (of wine)
  • divino (divine)

This typographic intervention strengthens the conceptual bridge between wine culture and the idea of something heavenly or exceptional.

03 — Visual Balance & Style

The design balances irony and elegance.
While the symbolic halo and wings introduce a playful narrative layer, the overall composition remains clean and recognizable, allowing the logo to adapt well across digital and print applications.

The stylization ensures:

  • Immediate recognizability
  • Strong silhouette and icon potential
  • Versatility for labels, social media, and promotional materials
