Feel strong and capable of anything, the Fireball logo invites. The emblem reports the strength of alcohol, burning and warming the insides. It hints at a bright holiday with friends along with an invigorating and bright drink.

Meaning and History

The first drink, Fireball, was invented back in the 1980s, but then it was owned by the Canadian conglomerate Seagram and was classified as flavored schnapps. At first, it was eagerly bought, but the popularity was not constant. Therefore, the manufacturer abandoned his product and sold it to the American corporation Sazerac.

The new owners learned from the mistakes of others: they carried out a massive rebranding and threw many fan parties to draw attention to the spicy liquor again. A well-thought-out marketing campaign yielded results. Fireball Whiskey has become one of the most sought-after brands in the spirits market and overtook Jameson Blended Irish Whiskey in sales.

What is Fireball?

It is an American whiskey brand whose full name is Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey. The privately held Sazerac corporation owns it. The alcoholic beverage tastes like the Atomic Fireball candies produced by the Ferrara Candy Company.

Now, this drink is well recognizable, thanks to the logo that is affixed on each label. The main product’s bottle – Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey – has its full name written on it. The first word is at the top and forms an arch, while the third and fourth are at the bottom and occupy one center-aligned line. They are separated by the image of a fire-breathing monster with clawed arms and legs, a powerful torso, a long tail, and a huge dragon’s head. The creature jumps, and at this time, a ball of fire bursts from its open mouth.

On the left, just above the tail, the word “RED” is written, and on the right, under the flame, “HOT.” The place at the very bottom of the label is occupied by the basic information about the product: its strength and a brief description of the composition. The percentage of alcohol in different drinks can be different (33%, 21%, or 16.5%) and the recipe (based on Canadian whiskey, wine, or malt).

The designers have placed the logo on a yellow-brown background that resembles a sheet of parchment. Edges appear burnt, with charred burnt holes. This is another reminder of the burning taste of the flavored liqueur and a nod to the brand name. Authentic style is one of the reasons for Fireball’s marketing success.

The main and only element of the graphic composition is a creature with a huge burning head. As conceived by the authors, this is a fire-breathing dragon – at least the idea of ​​branding involves frequent mention of dragons in different contexts. But in appearance, the mythical monster is very similar to the demon. This version is confirmed by the mention of hell in the motto of the alcoholic beverage. Both assumptions are justified because they are associated with fire: the dragon exhales flame, and the demon lives in a hot hell. Thus, the manufacturer wanted to show the spicy taste and strength of alcohol, which will burn if set on fire.

Font and Colors

To make the logo varied, the designers used several types of fonts. The most unusual and notable among them is Bodega Serif Black, an Antiqua with long rectangular serifs. This typeface was designed by Greg Thompson, who is passionate about the Art Deco style. It was chosen for the name of the aromatic liquor. The rest of the inscriptions are in thin sans serif type.

The colors are dominated by a fiery palette, which contains several shades of yellow (in the form of a gradient), orange, black (to highlight text and to imitate burnt parchment), red (for the image of a fire-breathing creature).
