Yeesh, that hurts my eyes. The concept is cool, but you need to do 2 things in my opinion: Don't blur the border, and make the penguin a more stylized blur. As in take a couple of "ghost" copies of the original and layer them together with the original such that you still have some crispness and clarity of detail in the original where there's no overlap, but you get the feeling of blurriness.

Just my opinion, though.

Your apfelwein had more yeast and cinnamon than cane sugar and water?

no, i wasn't writing them in order of most to least ... just in an order where they'd fit without needing more lines

Nice concept but i think you have too much color as a bsae label to put other labels onto. The green and red apfelwein doesn't really go with the mid-evil feel of the crest. IMO
