Semper Fi - Marines and Wine

Semper Fi Imports and Distribution LLC. (SFID)

Two US Marine officers getting out of the Marines and starting a wine import and distribution company specializing in importing wines from South America.

We are still very much attached to our Marine roots and want our logo to reflect. We know exactly what we want. Just looking for artist to conceptualize. We want an Eagle Globe and Anchor (US Marines symbol) that replaces the anchor with a bottle of wine.

Check out our facebook group Roldos Medio y Medio (US). We plan to specialize bringing this traditional spritzer/sparkling wine from Uruguay, tannat from Uruguay (tannat is the famous grape from the country) and organic wines from Argintina and Chile.

Primarily wine drinkers ages 21-45, young professionals. Currently in South Florida but plan to go nation wide at some point.

Looking for an Eagle Globe and Anchor (see attachment) on the left side of the company name. I created this logo myself and I think it works pretty well. I like having the "Semper Fi" in red (check USMC colors which I believe is a scarlet red) and "Imports and Distribution LLC." in black. I think it looks sharp. I am open to other ideas though if someone has a better design concept. I am a Marine not an artist haha. I have the artistic ability of a brick haha. But I think I have decent taste.

There is one large problem with the amature logo I created. The problem with using the EGA is that it's trademarked by the Marine Corps. Unless we obtain an act of congress, we can't use that image commercially. We want to replace the anchor that sits diagonally behind the globe with a wine bottle. Understand that part of the wine bottle will be covered up by the globe. That's ok. I think a dark red wine would look good in a half fun bottle. Maybe have the wine "flowing" in the design.

Hope this helps. Please don't hesitate to shoot me a message for more guidance/info/feedback.
