lsbennis Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm trying to come up with a label for the coconut wax candles I'm making, so far this is what I came up with, I'm not sure about it and was hoping to get some feedback. Thanks for any thoughts. I took a picture of the computer screen so the colors are a little off...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Everything from the font to the colors, very retro Miami/PB... NICE !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deb426 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Pretty. I'm thinking the scent name is a little big, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcollins78 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I really like it! One thing though, I think they require you to put the grams as well as ounces... (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertgibbens Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 That has been said before (requiring the use of grams). I think its a bunch of horse crap. I have looked at candles sold everywhere and do not find the weight listed on most of them (including every candle sold at Pier One here on Maui). It is not a requirement or if it is, it's not followed in my neck of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 It's beautiful! I would like to see it with bottom writing bigger & middle smaller to compare.Pretty. I'm thinking the scent name is a little big, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lsbennis Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks everyone, I appreciate the feedback, I will make the bottom bigger and the scent name smaller and repost to see what you think. How about the colors? Is it too pink? I want men to also purchase them but not sure if it talks to a man....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The colors are perfect to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a requirement or if it is, it's not followed in my neck of the woods.That's odd, all the candles I've ever seen have included it. Metric labeling is required by the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act:http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fplajump.shtmhttp://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fpla/outline.shtmBasic Requirements: The FPLA requires each package of household "consumer commodities" that is included in the coverage of the FPLA to bear a label on which there is:a statement identifying the commodity, e.g., detergent, sponges, etc.;the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor;and the net quantity of contents in terms of weight, measure, or numerical count (measurement must be in both metric and inch/pound units).and candles are considered "consumer commodities" within the meaning of the Act: http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fpla/part503.shtmAnybody have any additional insight as to this?

Candybee Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I just love your style and colors. Nice labels. Very pretty and eye catching and it speaks Miami. I like the suggestions about the font size changes. There's something 'off' about the scent name and maybe making it smaller is the answer. Don't know. Try it and repost a revision so we can take another look see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacktieaffair Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I've been thinking, you could change the pink, to teal, or the the font in a smaller box to a thicker teal ... LOL Sorry I got the whole Miami thing going but that's exactly what I thought when I saw it, saw the name, the font, and I personally think its a great label!

lsbennis Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks everyone, this really helps me a lot. I haven't had a chance to make any changes this weekend but I'm going to work on it again tomorrow and make the suggested changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChandlerWicks Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 That's good! I liked the darker pink around scent name tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Ok, I DO like that better.. but I noticed one thing. When I saw this thread, I clicked on it again, and the first thing I saw was this last post by ChandlerWicks.... I had to back up a page to see the new label... I had read Chandler's comment........... but when I backed the page up, scrolled down , and saw the label.... I wont lie... Palm Beach is so dark now compared to the rest of it... that's what my eye centered on, focused on, and while I kept looking at, and for , the new changes... my eyes kept going to Palm Beach Candle..... and not the scent. I know you want the name to be prominent but in my humble opinion, its too POP/POW and the scent name gets a little lost........ BUT THATS JUST ME ! It could be just my eyes.. I dunno.

NaturallyTru Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) I think maybe it the lighting that makes the Palm Beach name stand out more in the photo? Is it the same color as Coconut Wax text? Looks darker. i would like the name to pop more. The pink is too quiet. What would a pink border around it instead of green look like?You do realize you are never going to please all of us...lol! :lipsrseal Edited March 13, 2012 by NaturallyTru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lsbennis Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 VERY TRUE .. you can't please all of us !lol....but the feedback really does help. The colors are off because I took the picture with my phone from the computer screen and it makes the top lettering look darker. Its actually the same green color as the bottom of the label. I also agree with ChandlerWicks, I'm going to make the center pink darker and this should make a green border around the center pop. I'll post it up tomorrow for opinions. Thanks again everyone for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
