chris22 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Do you think my label is too busy? I have other ideas but I feel like info is good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjasen Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I like to call my candles hand crafted not hand poured... for some reason I think it sounds better. There is a lot of writing on the label and no design/logo which makes it feel kind of generic to me - maybe a pretty border on the label would make it seem more elegant/less generic?

Sndfrddy Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I like how clean it is, but I feel there's is nothing that makes people remember your company. Something that when people see them, they instantly recognize that these are your candles from your company, without them having to read the whole label.

justajesuschick Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I like how clean it is. I would use fewer fonts and make more distinction in your font sizing. For instance, your .com does not need to be so large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I don't think it's too busy, but I would make the scent name larger and your url smaller. The first thing people look for is the scent. It needs to stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris22 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Thank you all for your responses. Recently I been looking at it and thinking the same as in kinda plain looking but I don't have a logo or anything to put on? I will have to just play around with some different ways again and hopefully come up with something better? Thank you all again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricofAZ Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 The darker the color of the candle, the less the label stands out. But light colors work with it. I agree that you want your name to stand out, so my suggesting is leave the Better Scents font the way it is, and shrink "Candle Company" a bit. Maybe so that it is the same width at the "Better Scents" horizontally.Logos are good. Not necessary unless you want to brand your stuff. People do tend to associate images with products.I assume you have a warning label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftimade Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I would suggest a symbol for your company next to your name. Branding is a massive part of your business, not right now but for it to grow.I have a orange and green flame next to my business name on all my candles and it really stands out on my labels, people don't need to read it, they just see the flame and know who it's made by.You can see my example here: www.sentinelcandles.com.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also probably make the tagline a bit smaller. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveandlight Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I agree with the above posters - a logo/graphic design is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaconterraone Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Many good ideas/recommendations, but ultimately it must be a combination of how you like it and how your actual customers like it. I have no objections to your original labels, but "play" around with them with some of the suggestions side-by-side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvyStar Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Looks good. I would agree on having a logo or brand name to be added to it. Doesn't have to be done now though. You can still sell as is. Did you print them yourself? What sort of label / label brand did you use? Is it a clear label? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
