Aphelion Amber - Critiques Please

[Laurel]

I want to leave the label as simple as possible, as the printer that I have access to at work hideously disfigures fine detail, but I'd like to know what you'd change on this label.

I've decided to name my beers after astronomy terms. The aphelion of a planet's orbit is the farthest point out from the center of mass that it's orbiting.

Feel free to tell me if it sucks, if something looks terrible, etc. I can take it.

Ok, well due to the overwhelming interest in this thread, I've decided to change the font.
Which do you prefer?

 

[RockfordWhite]

the first one

I like the simple concept and graphics, though the dimensions are kinda wrong to fit on a bottle

Looks nice. Good color choice. I think I like the font on the 1st one for the title, and then the font on the second one for the side content. It's good to give the name of the brew its own style. It is a little wide. What size labels are you using?

 

[Laurel]

The bottles I'm using are split with a design halfway down the flat label area, so I only do a 1/2 label.

of the two, i like the 1st font
the 2nd (and i forget what its called) has an 'old' feel, whereas the theme and colors are very modern/spacey

The only comment I can make is that the color blue you chose is an RGB color which looks great on the screen but when you print it in CMYK it probably won't print as the bright blue you want. It'll probably print closer to what you see here.

I think I like that "muted" bluish/purpleish color of the font better, actually.

 

[Laurel]

I think I'm going to go with the second one. I tried printing both, and the second is much more legible, and it's a font that I'd be happy using with all of my brews. Thanks for the input Thwizzit!

I like the Label.. I'm not sure I like either font. I'm picturing something more "sci-fi".

Maybe something like this: tektrron

 

[fat x nub]

i cant decide between the first and second...i like them both

 

[Laurel]

I ended up going to Kinkos to have these printed because I wasn't happy with the quality I was getting at work. They look fantastic, and the purple/blue is even more saturated that my file.
