Habitat – Unique Accommodation Close to the Ucluelet Brewery.
Habitat Vacation Rental and Retreat is halfway between Florencia Bay and the new brewery. With all those great beers available to go in growlers you are going to want a sunny deck, hot tub and fire pit to pair with the brews. Check! We even have a loaner Growler Library. Borrow ours so you don’t have to buy one but make sure to put it back washed for the next guest.
We’d love to host you (and share a glass). Imbibe, revive and hit the beach after a night in the peaceful Millstream community.

Ucluelet Brewing Co. – A brand blueprint
As luck would have it Habitat owner Trevor Jurgens worked with the Ucluelet Brewing Company to create the wordmark and logo through his company COFFEE Business Stimulus. Have a sneak peek and understand all the elements that informed the brand assets. Need a strategic look for your business that can boast your merchandising revenue and customer trust? Contact COFFEE Business Stimulus.
A lot of thought went into ensuring the logo maintained the same level of craftsmanship as Ucluelet Brewing Co’s beers. At the foundation is the large anchor reflecting the brewery’s rock-steady place as a community meeting place. When you visit the brewery look for the large iron anchor on-site which inspired the design.
The anchor’s stock, shank and eye resemble a friend waiting for your with outstretched arms to greet you with a warm embrace perhaps after a rough day on the water… or in the office. Taken as a whole the symbolism embodies Ucluelet’s balance between adventure on the open ocean and the safe habour of home.
A wild and welcoming story well told
Considerable effort and strategy went into subtly customizing a maritime inspired typeface to improve scale-ability/legibility while creating subtle references to waves/wind-whipped trees, whale/mermaid tails, kraken tentacles/barley sheaths and the overall magic of brewing/maritime lore. Curvatures in the letter forms mirror those in the anchor shape and other elements.
Purpose built for signage and merchandising
Meant to be displayed vertically as well as horizontally – the wordmark was tailored to work on the brewery’s distinct trapezoid windows and ideally the prominent church steeple.
What’s in a U? A lot when “ur” Ucluelet Brewing Co.!
Can you spot the hidden pint glass in the negative space of the iconic “U”? The solitary “U” logo treatment distills everything mentioned above into one icon – stability and security, maritime lore and a well-crafted pint to welcome you join friends on the wild West Coast. What would a brewery logo be without the beer right?
