6 Kings
"6 Kings" is a Ukrainian whisky brand. Yevhenii Lytvak created a logo that embodies the history and philosophy of the brand.
The name "6 Kings" is a combination of two elements: the Roman numeral "VI" symbolizes the six founders who, in 2008, decided to create their own whisky brand. They invested 15 years in studying distillation technology and developed six different types of whisky. The word "Kings" underlines the royal status of "6 Kings" whisky.
The logo was designed in 2023 as the brand prepared to enter the market. Ukrainian modern writer Yevhenii Lytvak, author of the book "
Era of Glory and Hope
" (and known as the modern artist Alex
K
ramer, who paints portraits of reptilians), created a logo that represents the brand’s history, philosophy, and quality.
The central element of the "6 Kings" logo is the Roman numeral "VI," symbolizing the six founders who came together in 2008 to create their own whisky brand. The word "Kings" complements the numeral, emphasizing the royal status and refined taste of the whisky. Whisky is often referred to as the "king of drinks," and this epithet perfectly aligns with the high quality of "6 Kings" products.
The half-shield, wheel, or barrel motif in the logo carries multiple meanings. On one hand, it symbolizes protection and the preservation of the unique taste of the whisky. On the other hand, it is associated with travel and exploration, reflecting the historical journey of whisky transported in barrels across vast distances.
The logo’s philosophy draws inspiration from biblical times. Legend has it that after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, six of his disciples traveled to England and later to Scandinavia to spread Christianity. They were called the "Six Kings," a name that later evolved into the word "Viking."
The number 12 also holds symbolic significance. In Christian tradition, it represents the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. The half-shield motif in the logo, symbolizing the number six, alludes to this biblical history and underlines the spiritual aspect of the brand’s creation.
The "6 Kings" logo harmoniously blends historical allusions with modern design. It tells the story of the brand’s creation while maintaining a stylish and contemporary look. B
y combining historical facts, religious symbolism, and modern design, the "6 Kings" logo embodies the royal status of the whisky and its deep historical roots.
