Flying Goat Cellars label was designed by Bill Ervin and has become an icon for handcrafted, vineyard designated Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. The label’s caricature of a goat embodies winemaker Norm Yost’s playful but stubborn spirit and our mission of merriment. Norm’s two kids, his pygmy goats, inspired the label. Ervin is owner of EG Integrated, an advertising, branding and public relations firm based in Omaha, Nebraska.

YNOT? label was designed by Lompoc native Ricardo de los Angeles, who graduated from the California Institute of the Arts in 2009. We recruited de los Angeles fresh out of college to redesign our YNOT? label. Winemaker Norm Yost formerly used “ynot” in his email address and the concept motivated him to launch a second brand with Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir offered at a lower price. De los Angeles is currently a Character Artist at Walt Disney Imagineering in the Parks, Experience, and Products division. He also runs his own caricature and illustration business called Ricky Animation.

Goat Bubbles was designed by Mark Oliver, Inc. We gave Oliver poetic license to integrate the original stylized flying goat into three floating bubbles. The four part label is unique from a design standpoint. Each of our six sparkling wines has a different background color that matches the wax crown, distinguishing it from the others. Each sparkler also has the flying goats positioned distinctly within the bubbles. Solvang-based Mark Oliver, Inc. is a full service brand consultancy with the primary services of packaging design and the creation of trademarks and branding programs.
