About Castle Lager

A horizontally oriented red banner with gold trim and notched ends contains a two-line wordmark: a large, bold serif "CASTLE" above a much smaller, narrow "LAGER." Centered above the banner sits a small heraldic shield outlined in gold; inside the shield is a simplified castle silhouette with two square towers and a central arched gate.

The design is flat and symmetrical, using a limited palette of deep red, bright gold and a very dark brown/near-black for the lettering. Gold horizontal stripes run along the top and base of the red banner, and small gold chevrons accent the banner ends.
