Guest candelecandlecompany Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Black stripe all the way....Makes the name stick out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangerine Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 What if you use the labels as such -- the one with the black stripe for the 8 oz JJ and the stripe-less (is this a word? ) label for the salsa jar? I feel that if you use the one with the black stripe on the salsa jar, it would kinda cut it in half and it's already a squat jar as it is. But then again it might be too much trouble to print two types of labels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineSundries Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 They are both wonderful labels - but I have one question for you - is the graphic in the background colored or grayscale? Because I was thinking if it was color, could you pull the darker of the colors from the graphic to be your background color for your text area. Make sense? That way you get the boldness of the black and yet it's not quite as dark as the black so it won't divide your lable as much and it won't be overwhelming for the eye. Just a thought... but I do like the layout and it's not too crowded! Great job!Life & Light!Tish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason...I like the black label better, but something about it is bothering me? I think I'll try changing the color of the band and see if it makes a difference.

Scented Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Black stripe. I think it stands out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accents Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Oh, now, what'd you do that for? LOL I can't decide now. Definitely like the new one, that light colored band still stands out. I keep finding myself drawn to the black, but the lighter one makes everything a little more balanced. Okay, I'm stuck. Hopefully someone else has a stronger opinion!

Daisyd'Light Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Now I like the last one added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Night Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I guess I'm just odd because I really like the second one. The one with the short jar. I don't know why but I think it is easier to read and not like everyone elses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStreetDesigns Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I like the one with the black in the middle (the 1st) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I still like the black cuz it will be neutral with any colored candle you make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I like the black stripe...but would think a black lid would be better to accent eachother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgie Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 The first & third ones are both nice, but I think I'm leaning more towards the third one. It seems a bit more balanced to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesweet Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I still love the black, but think I love the 3rd one just a tiny bit more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceCarvesWax Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I like the 3rd one better now. It doesnt look so "hard" now. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavenScentU Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I really like the bottom one with the tan stripe. The fonts are a little on the small side. I think just a couple sizes larger would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I liked the first two labels.But I LOVE the third one! It fits the neutral scheme yet draws the eye to the scent name. Very beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineSundries Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Just added a new one to the first post...what 'cha think?? ROCK ON!! I'm SOOOO lovin' that third one!! Just enough color to seperate the scent from the rest of the lable but light enough to not overwhelm. You ROCK!! That was *exactly* what I had pictured. And it's neutral enough of a color to not clash with the colors of your candles. Oh I'm so lovin' it... er wait, I already said that... oh well! LOLGreat work!!Life & Light!Tish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterfinger Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I really like the 3rd. one better....very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBugCandles Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I couldn't really decide between the first two, but I LOVE the 3rd one!! It's definately a keeper, IMO. Brings the first 2 together, but it also fixes the issues with the black stripe and the font. All 3 choices are awesome, but the 3rd one gets my vote!You do amazing work girlie! I wish I could afford for you to do my labels, ah, maybe one day! -Jessica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I like the black stripe...but would think a black lid would be better to accent eachother.I agree with Lindsaycb.The black stripe catches the eye immediately but a black lid would finish the jars off beautifully.Some of the jars I've been experimenting with recently have black lids & I think they look more classy than the others.Sally.

Candlewitch Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 The non black label has more class, all you need to do is use bold print for the scent name and you dont need the tacky black bar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
