Label critique for 2pups

[roblloyd]

Here's a label design for 2pups' Blackberry Merlot. Let the critiquing begin!

Not so sure I like the white in the top, Id probably keep it all Black with the purple letters myself or keep the blue letters.

I like the label , but like wade said something with the white area needs changing . Oh almost forgot , thanks a million for doing this rob .

How bout this , with alot of help from rob.

Label looks nice. I agree about the white area but now your purple letters are getting lost. I wonder if you'd be better with white letters? Final comment is why would you put blue berries on the bottom of your Blackberry label. Is this a blend? If not, I would lose them.

You could have Blackberry Merlot on the bottom and make your Blackberry picture larger. Use white lettering.

Those are merlot grapes not blueberries.

Not sure I like the all black?!

Gotcha ya on the grapes. I agree with the all black, it just isn't popping out at you.

You definitely need a lighter print for the lettering other than that, looks good!

 

[Wade E]

Maybe the black should be the purple and vice versa. When printed the letters may get hidden more but it looks better then the white.

did you crop both fruit pictures? cause i was always a fan of half triangles making a square on a label...

Version 2. Any better? I think it looks better on my screen from a distance - so might be better on a bottle?

 

[Runningwolf]

I like this the best so far. What program are you using? It looks like Avary.

 

[roblloyd]

Photoshop. I haven't tried Avery more than 10 minutes yet before going back to photoshop.

Since I'm doing this for fun for 2pups maybe it should be a contest?

 

[ibglowin]

I still say you can't read the varietal at all.....

Version 3. Now back to work....

Rob, Can you lighten the background purple on version 2 a few shades without making it turn pink? It might make the lettering stand out a little more.

 

[ibglowin]

I like the black background , can you just lighten the words "blackberry merlot" against the black background until they "pop".

 

[roblloyd]

Version 4. I also did the same one with "Wine Cellar" a little smaller. Looks better but I don't want to clog up the forum with almost identical images.

Well Jeff? Any of these to your liking or do you want me to start from scratch?
I won't be hurt if you don't like them, honest!

 

[Wade E]

Perfect IMO!

 

[Runningwolf]

I agree this is it!! Nice job.
