ladysj Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Okay this is what I've decided on for my label design. LMK what you think. Does it need more or something else added to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 How about not so much cursive in there. It gets a little difficult to read the smaller it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 In addition, something needs to pop to compete with that border, because that border grabs all the attention ... the scent doesn't stick out and I don't like to search for it.

Raggedy Dani Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I agree with cursives as it gets smaller it's harder to read.You can use that font on your business nameand chose a different readable font for rest as in email addy scent, etc.Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 IMO, I'd removed the "created by" line since you already have your business name at the top.Make the scent name a different font so that it stands out. I agree about the cursive being too much the smaller it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmvanilla Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I agree with the others. Just a little too much cursive.I search for the scent name on a candle label when buying. It's great if it pops out at me.How about a small image of an apple blossom? It's the states flower. That would be cute and add a little more interest against the black and white.Unless it would cost you too much to print in color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Should I take out the handcrafted or leave it and make it smaller? Should it be before or after the scent? I'm going to be using mostly the crystal clear labels for these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmvanilla Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 IMO- leave handcrafted. If you could...make your website url a little bigger?I'd also take out "created by" line.Maybe keep "Little Rock, Arkansas" but put it directly under your company's name?It's YOUR label though, lol and it will be beautiful on the clear labels I think...however you decide to do it.

LaVida Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 is the "handcrafted..." part of your company slogan? If so maybe have that directly under your name. I think the Scent your be bold or larger.... as it stands now - it blends into the rest of the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Man I sure do miss that edit button Okay here are some revisions. I couldn't decide which apple blossom to go with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I vote for #2.Easy to read and I like the pics you added...:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopsgirl Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 jusy my 2 cents worth but I like the 1st revision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmvanilla Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I really like the first and second one. Neat how you did it, too...The scent..can you go bolder on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie W Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I like the second one but I would put hand crafted under your name and your address under the scent. Just another onpinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camoflauge Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 here's my suggestion...try doing just the first letters in your biz nameSouthern Scentsations of ArkansasHandmade in Little Rock, ARThen your scent name with the same first letter of each word with a different type and the rest something easy to read, like times new roman...just an idea, because with all that cursive it is hard to read, but with just the beginning letter in a cursive or whatever type of font you choose, you call more attention to it.jmo-for what it's worth...Heatherand then your website address a little bit closer to the bottom... hth:D Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 I like the second one but I would put hand crafted under your name and your address under the scent. Just another onpinionI do like it better this way. Makes the scent stand out more and it seems so far everyone likes the apple blossom on #2 better.

Groovy Chic Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 The label looks somewhat off balance. I would move the website addy to the bottom, just above the black line. Move your tag line right under the name of your company and consider leaving off the city and state line. Then you could center your scent between the tag line and the address addy line where it would stand out more and bring balance to the label.

silverm00n Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I like #2 best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dest Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I like #2, but also think that handcrafted should be right under your co. name. HTH~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizimarezie Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I also like #2 best.I agree that "handcrafted" should be right under your business name. And I think your domain (website URL) should be dropped to the bottom, just above the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmp Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I haven't read through all the posts, but I do think you could streamline some of the wording. For example, your last line below the web addy could read "Handcrafted in Little Rock, AR" and pull out the separate Handcrafted Candles line. JMOETA: I really like the label, and the font, too. And I like that the scent name is clear and prominent in the revision. It looks good! Also, as an option your last line could read "Proudly Handcrafted in Little Rock, AR" b/c I get the impression you are proud of your homestate!

sockmonkey Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I whipped up something real quick, which I thought would be easier than trying to explain what I would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 I like that. What does everyone else think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmp Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I like it too. Nice clean look. Not too sure about the apple blossom graphic, though. What about a different blossom graphic that is black and white and/or is not enclosed in a circle as this one is. I'm thinking something that "floats" on the label more and is not so separate. Hope that makes sense. I'm not trying to be picky, just helpful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 I cropped the original pic of the apple blossom because I didn't really want it square. I'm not sure how I can get it to blend in more. I'm sure there is a way to do it but don't know how. If anyone works with Publisher and knows how to do this any help would be greatly appreciated.
