The owner, Jordan, wanted to incorporate elements from both his barber services and tap room. Since he offers shaves with straight razors, we started working on a minimal design of a razor with hops and wheat in the center as the cutout seen on common razors. Designs were applied to stickers, t-shirts, hats and other merchandise.
