Colors are all bad imo. Take the guesswork out of if put your main color in here and flip through and find the color you want they all will work with your input color.

While not professionally taught I do web and graphic design and i tell my clients to bring me onecolor and then I use a tool like this and we go from there. If they bring two I'm putting one in and then finding a color from a app like this that is closest to their second color unless they are branded already. This makes it easy and keeps things looking good no questions asked.

imo too green. The background pops way more than the foreground with all the important info like brand name etc. Everything else I like.

Your main logos script letters don't line up, kerning or tracking is off and it looks weird.

I'm not a fan of whimsical font, but that may be part of your brand identity.

The bottom text curve should match the space it is in, like the way the top does.

The green is a bit much for me. It's the most eye catching part and it's the literally the backdrop.

Agree 100%. I'd also say clean up those blue parts and make them more solid.

I think maybe tone that green down some. Other than that it looks quite nice.

Important when creating a label is to have two things imo:

to know the material (color,properties to be sticked on) to contain all the information required to be a finished product. Eg. signs , text , infos , etc.

Let me give you an example. Let's say that i find your liquid from a friend. Where is the website or fb page to find more info? How i may contact you? etc

Looks highly functional, practical. I like that. As far as criticism I would say go less green, maybe a darker green or just play with other colors and shades, but I like it, you could go with that to if you want I feel like it just isn't the best color.

Great! Just change the Logo color to make it pop. Try a compliment to green, such as red.

Nice job - my input would be:

  1. kern the "Kodars" so that the letters connect correctly.
  2. I'd switch up the Ren & Stimpy looking font to something san-sarif - I think it wouldn't clash with the "Kodars" as much.
  3. I think that dayglo green background might be a bit too much. I'd try a deep red, maroon, or deep purple and make the black lettering white.

But that's just what I would do! I think you did a nice job!

Green blue and yellow don't really work well, but dark brown, blue, and yellow do. If you're going to use a font like that, you should make it pop. I'm thinking something like white background, with red text.

It looks a bit like it came out of a children's book :p. I dig it, but the green is too bright imo.

I like the vintage look to it, but If that's sized to go on a 30 ml bottle or smaller, you're gonna have a hard time reading the script in the dark green. Maybe try a serif style font instead...

Ditch the neon green.. Go with a white background.

That green would be extremely tough to print.

RGB colors looks great on screen, but printers can only print CMYK.

When working on a label in RGB, save it and do a test conversion to CMYK to see what happens.

I have it setup to print the way it looks. Lots of trial and error

IMO: too green for the background...

I still don't understand why companies put "premium" e liquid on their bottles..... Yes they want people to think their juice is a premium quality, but I think they all should be "premium" quality and not "standard" quality.

BUT back to what I was saying: just too bright of green and I agree with /u/senorchip that the foreground needs to pop more with brand, flavor, and all the important information on it.

Not all juices are "premium" quality. Ive had some horrible shit

by texasguy93over 10 years ago

Same here. I have had some juices as well labelled as a "premium" and it was not even walmart quality. I mean 9/10 they're great quality juice, but I was just stating IMO. :P Not hating! BTW: let me know where/when you can get your juice. I like supporting fellow redditors when the chance comes able!

I just worry the lettering may be difficult to read once it's the size it will actually be for a 30mil bottle. Other than that, I'd agree with a lot of others and say tone down that green a little. I like the other colors though.

The green is horrible, but the rest of it is very.....abercrombie.

Too green and font is harder to read.

I whipped up something in a couple minutes in photoshop using your same overall design.

I like it, but needs to be more "vintage"

by smoakleyyyover 10 years ago

Ah ok, retro'd it up :P http://puu.sh/ggKkp/fc399a030c.jpg

Used the old air force logo as inspiration, with an old bottle cap in place of the center portion.

Jesus that green is bright. Google "Kuler" and use that to pick your colors.

The font in the blue parts of the circle is very unprofessional as well.

If you post a label, post the recipe.

Everything looks great except for the shade of green. It's too bright, tone it down a few notches.

Please do not mark nicotine strengths with a marker, no matter how permanent. Any chance you could print variations?

At the very least hole punch...

Hand-marking labels is a very big no-no!

we don't need more sub par juices polluting the market. Unless this is for yourself.

Either way, the label is awful

Sub-par? Anyone whos tried my juice will beg to differ.
