I see Scriptina all the time.. in fact, I get as many requests for that font as I do Papyrus and Feltpoint. Papyrus is a classic, and everyone loves it. While a font CAN set a label apart, if the design is done well, the design itself will set the label apart regardless of what font is used. I'd be worried if I did text only labels/logos

Yes, Scriptina is being used more and more these days (you are right), BUT not nearly as much as Papyrus. I wouldn't be worried at all about using "text only labels"...I personally use them and my candles set my products apart and are not overpowered by the label...which is how I want it to be. It all boils down to personal preference.

I personally think the first is better...if it was toned down a bit. The name looks too much like a neon sign...maybe get rid of the outlines? The second one is too general...looks like everyone else's logos. The papyrus font is WAY overused these days. Just about everywhere I look...someone is using that font. Scriptina on the other hand is fairly new and you just don't see it that often.

I say go with the first one...it sets you apart from the rest.

YES...DIY is the way to go. I love them. They are very helpful and for all that you get with the service...it is well worth the $20 a month.

Please do show us a picture with it on your candles...I can't wait to see!

I also do not put all of that info on there...maybe I should rethink my labels (once again lol)?

Thanks Katy and Judy for using my name when you signed up! You won't be disappointed with DIY...they have awesome customer service and are always there to help when you need it.

I use DIYestores and would highly recommend them! They include a full e-commerce package for $20 a month. Lots of people from here have gone over to them, as well. PM me if you want the site addy.

You don't have to pay the minumum or have a tax ID, if you buy from their eBay store...just a thought.

I have bought those for the pint size about a year ago from them and they are really nice. I asked about a jelly jar size, but they told me they didn't have any...but, like I said...that was a year ago, maybe they have them now.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I have decided to keep the square kraft labels on these jars and just change around the label to make my logo match on both. I think it is best this way, as I do have many customers who want a "country" looking candle, as well as wanting something a little more neutral, like my new hex jars.

OK...now that you all helped me choose the marble label for my new hex candles. I need to decide if I should leave my pint and jelly jars with the kraft label or if I should make them into the white marble, as well? Here is what they would look like with the white marble...what do you all think? And, if you like this better than the kraft...should I choose round or square??

OK...so I am going with the white marble...NOW...I have a new dilemma!

What do I do with the pint and jelly jar candles I have? I really don't think that label with look good on those jars? Maybe the same look on a circle label for those? Or should I keep them with the kraft labels?

I agree...I think the keyhole is too large. It takes away from everything else. I think I would maybe have the door in the background...try a fadeout from right to left and then add the text on top. I love playing with labels, changing them in and out is the fun part! (for me anyway LOL)

With such a great (and unique) name...you deserve an equally unique label to go with it.

I was asked to donate a prize to a local gala. The prizes will be raffled off and the proceeds put into a scholarship fund. I have agreed, but am now thinking...is there something I should get in writing (like a receipt/contract) for the donation?

I consider this to be great advertising, but do I leagally need something in writing?

I added the marble effect myself...it pays to be a graphic designer .

Thanks again...I really appreciate everyone's input.

Thank you...thank you. I just used one of those labels on one for an order I am packaging up...looks awesome on the sparkling mimosa candle (peach-orange colored).

Really? For some reason the white looked a little on the "cheesy" side to me...but, I am so used to the kraft labels...my brain must be warped! LOL

The tan does blend a bit with that color of candle...but, on a red or white candle...what then??

I have revamped my labels and am doing a hex jar now. Please help me choose which color...tan fleck or white marble. (I personally am leaning toward the tan fleck label).

Yes...but, I make chunk candles...much different than H.I....right?

Thanks...I appreciate the comments! I haven't decided whether I will use a clear label yet or maybe a buff/cream. Lots of thinking to do...

Now that I've been playing with what it would look like in different jars...I think I like the hex the best. I can get a 9 oz and a 4 oz squat hex...now to go get them.

Thanks everyone for all of your input...if you'd like to comment on the hex...let me know!

I LOVE honesty! How about a hex, instead? I don't want to add anything to the jar...am going to add a label on the lid...just going to let the chunks show through...they are nicer to look at than a label.

Ya...I think you are right Monica. I just took a peek at prices for Mid-Con on those Victorian ones...was really surprised at the price...much cheaper than I thought? So......you don't think the victorians would look "country"?

Here it is with the white label...

Is this better? Not so "country/prim"?

Dang it...do you think it would look better with a white label? Or would that be too stark?
