updated thoughts on label

i cant find my original thread (im sure its simple but im lazy) so im posting a new one with the old label and my new designs. tell me what you think?

 

the new one is the one on top

 

I like the background on the bottom one. Hypnotic.

 

thats what i enjoyed but i received alot of negative feedback because it was "too flashy" not in those words of course

 

I like the top one for a bear and the bottom one would work better if it was a lions head... the squiggly lines look more like a lions mane

 

definitely opened my mind up to new ideas making "royal lion" or something along those lines as a different beer style much appreciated. my heads racing with ideas. when I get a concept ill make sure to let you know.

 

A lion would fit the design perfectly.
