I could use some advice. My son says this label is too plain. Plus he recommends replacing the ball with a hop cone and calling it "Hop Kick". Any opinions?
The label is really nice. That being said, I like your son's hop kick idea a lot. I would go with that and make the hop green to contrast the old school earth tones.
I like the label as is. The hop kick idea is also fun, but might give people the wrong impression, depending on how hopped up your pilsner is. By the way, is it CyClops Hombrew, or CyLcops Homebrew? I think you have a typo.
Orange-ish middle background with an eggshell/off-white
Brick Red border with a brighter, possibly fire-engine red
And darken the outer background with a darker, olive color, to add contrast.
