Decatur Metro | July 7, 2010
I just quite randomly stumbled across the 2010 Decatur Beer Festival logo upon visiting the fest’s website.
Silly pink squareaphant.

Pink squareaphant is cute, but the fact that the beer is spewing from his trunk into the Mustache Man’s glass kinda sorta grosses me out…
You’d prefer it came from the other end?
Well, there’s a fine example of a false dilemma, lump. I’d rather it not come from either end!
But, Cuba, you find nothing wrong with the word “turducken”?
Go for something different, and you can’t please everyone.
LOL! Gibbetties, I’ve always said I thought turducken is gross– the product, that is. I don’t particularly care about the fact that the word begins with “turd”, but given how disgusting the stuffed bird concoction is, it’s actually fitting, don’t you think?
I kinda hate it. It’s odd and not in a tingly kind of way.
I think it’s the most horrid BEER festival logo I’ve ever seen. PINK? For BEER? Wonder whose son/daughter/niece/nephew just got out of art school? If this was the best one, I shudder to think what the worst was. Wow. Just. Wow. Think I’ll buy a ticket rather than volunteer just to avoid that shirt. :-/
Does anyone know who is on the grant committee?
You know, this is strange in many, many ways. I concur with cubalibre’s nausea at seeing someone drinking beer pouring out of a large mammal’s orifice. I think it’s also funny, in a way, that they chose to make the elephant pink, considering that “seeing pink elephants” has been a trite saying related to drunkenness for many decades.
Perhaps they only received one logo entry this year? Or maybe the selection committee consisted of the artist’s family members?
It’s a pink elefont!
Well played, sir!
Seriously, That’s like an anti-logo.
It actually makes me want to avoid the festival.
Chartreuse and pink? Elephant? A guy drinking elephant snot?
Somehow that doesn’t evoke local craft brewing to me.
Who would wear that on a T shirt?
“A guy drinking elephant snot”– OMG, where’s Gibbets the Grody Word Police when we need him?!?
He might think it’s funny but it’snot
Maybe he is removing the apostrophes from “Wednesday’s” on the Decatur Farmers’ Market signs? At least that is where he should be………
mmmmm, Beer Fest!
How silly….pink? Reminds us to have some Pepto Bismal (sp haha) on hand.
This is truly awesome!
Hands down my favorite Decatur Beer Festival logo ever. Pink elephants? It promises much fun.
I think it’s cute. Even the beer trunk!
India Pale Ale, perhaps?
Maybe that’s my problem with this.
I love beer but even the best IPA tastes like liquid soap to me.
I love it! It’s so odd – so wonderfully and perfectly odd.
My sentiments exactly!!!
Pink Elephant is like Pokey’s & Gumby’s festival going pal… Oh the adventures to be had!!!
I’m liking this logo. It’s festive and fun and creative. I’d buy the t-shirt and glass.
I hope they hang a Beer Festival sign in the Decatur Diner window!
Speaking of, I think they’ve hit a bump in the road. Seems like the “Coming Soon” sign has been there forever, and it looks like all work has stopped on the inside.
Designed, again, by last year’s winner. (Not spoken like someone whose design wasn’t chosen, nope, not at all)
We will be producing 100 of our famous wall mounted bottle openers with the logo on it. Selling them for $5.00 each (cash only), 1/2 of the price will be donated back to the festival. Get your first Decatur Beer Festival collectible! Produced by your local bottle opener manufacturer, Brown Mfg. Company, the oldest bottle opener manufacturer in the USA, if not the world!!
Are those fart clouds behind the guy with the mustache?
Oh sure. Blame it on the logo.
I think they’re feathers, Fats.
Gawd ya’ll are a bunch of cranky art critics. And so literal. Lighten up. It’s a wonderful, whimsical illustration…fun, festive, creative. Yes, as Chad says, India Pale ale comes to mind and I love the “seeing pink elephants” reference. Anyway, I love it, whoever designed it.
I’m with you, Rain. Lovin’ it all around.
i also agree with rain. it’s super duper cute! go pink elephants!!!!
Yeah I kind of dig the retro 60’s French illustration style.
This is much better than the creepy book festival poster.
I hear if you dress like an elephant then you get in free to the festival. Kind of like the C-F-A dress like a cow promotion, but even more yummy.
Maybe the pink elephant is what you see after you fully enjoy yourself at the festival?
I think last year’s logo was so flipping awesome anything falls flat and disappoints.
It’s actually the same artist as last year! He’s a very talented screen printer/graphic designer. I love the pink elephant but it is different (which I love again!), and I expected some dissenters. I’m the first in line for a t-shirt!
You haters need a beer.
Here, here.
Pink elephants remind me of the logo for Delerium Tremens (a great beer).

Yep, Delerium is the 1st thing that came to my mind
Love the illustration style and the type, but the subject matter and colors seem to suggest it’s a kid’s festival. I can appreciate the pink elephant reference, but am guessing pink won’t suit a lot of this festival’s patrons.
You’re right, CFN. The attendees of this festival are far too sophisticated for such a playful design.

¡Perfecto!
2 props from Gibbets in one day? I feel like I’ve won a Pulitzer.
Ha! Not to suggest that a pink logo would keep anybody away from a great beer festival…just saying they’re not going to sell many t-shirts…
Holy shiite! But I’ll bet he didn’t really bother to shave them– he doesn’t look like grooming is his first priority…
hilarious!
Oooh, maybe the Pink Elephant is like Joe Camel…an advertising campaign by the distributors designed to appeal to underage drinkers. Pretty ‘crafty’…heh, at least we’re encouraging them to drink good beer!
They should really just rename it the Emory Frat fest
Don’t worry everybody pink elephants have magic that makes their snot become whatever favorite beer you wish for before it ever hits your glass.
(Doesn’t everyone know that?)
