Mead Label

I have a mead that I'm hoping to bottle in the next month or so. Here's my try at a label. It's an odd size because I'm printing on an unused panel of a label I use constantly at work, so I get them for free this way



What are your thoughts?

I'm also thinking of bottling at 2 or 3 different levels of sweetness by backsweetening. I'm trying to figure out how to convey the sweetness graphically so it can be read and interpreted easily- think the spiciness thermometer on a jar of salsa. Any ideas?

you could convey the level of sweetness by the amount of combs filled in an open faced honeycomb? Like empty combs for not sweet, half filled for medium and full filled for sweetest?

Even filling in random amounts of the comb pattern in the background of your label could work, no need for a separate comb-meter! haha

Nice. I dig.

Kind of a generic name though, eh? What about 'Bee Pee Mead"?

Seriously, nice work!

Ok- Here's an idea for the sweetness level-



It's a simple mead, so I'm fine with a simple name

I like it!!!

Nice!

Or should I say, "Sweet!"?

My thought
Dry
Mild
Sweet

Rev that's exactly what I was thinking

I added the text description as well, as I'll be giving out some of these as well.

I like the progression, very simple. The cel-shaded-style bee is really catchy. I have a thing for cel-shading...

Very Nice, I have made a few meads and each one had the bee in them! Great job!

Ok, finally bottled these. Printed off the first round of labels- just the dry ones so far.



Not completely happy (now) with the labels... not quite sticky enough. Although that means they'll come off easier when it's time to reuse, right?

I love this label. Any chance you would want to share the psd?

Hmm, I would, but I don't think I have it anymore. Sorry!
