Need some opinions!

Ok, I've been stuck trying to design a label for my bottles.

Here's what I've personally designed (using my limited skills) so far:

Using the online tool:

And here's what a designer has offered me (for almost free, but with restrictions):

Opinions? I'm trying to include a label with 2 things I love: music and freedom. The eagle is one of my fav. animals and represents freedom (and I love flying), and the guitar represents one of my passions. So the idea is to try and include both in the label.

They all look good. I'm partial to #3, but that could be because it is the only one with the apostrophe. Leaving it out bugs me.

Thanks. I actually thought the apostrophe looked weird so I took it out. I guess this is why we get third opinions!

Updated my logo with an '

Anyone else have any input?

I like the first one. The eagle looks clearer and Les Paul's are cooler than Flying V's.

That's exactly how I feel. LPs > Strats > Vs.

How's this look?

I really like your personal designs - they catch my eye more than the professional ones. Just MHO

 

[solidhadriel]

Thank you Melana! I think I'm going to go with the colored one of my logo design. (But more feedback is always welcome!)

I like your design more because you can actually tell it's an eagle. In the other one you can tell that it's a bird but not specifically an eagle.

Edit: I do think the font could use a change. To me, the font looks kind of childish.

I like your design best. I think the label generator takes away from it tho so I would go with your design as a standalone. I think you could use both versions and maybe even add some more to use different color patterns for different brews. It would look slick with the beer style right under the brewery name and the rest of the details such as abv in the space under the wing.

I was trying to go for "playful energy"...Would that font stop you from buying it (if it were on a shelf at a store) if you were looking to try something new?

I agree.. I was just trying to find something that would slap it on a bottle easily for me.

Good responses guys, thanks! I do appreciate em... And Timmy, those same thoughts about beer style and details entered my head as I looked at my logo. Good advice.

I would maybe leave out that stripe on the eagles neck. Looks a little odd. I dont think you need it. The rest i like a lot.

Agreed. ...Never seen an eagle wearing a collar before! Having said that, you have some good looking labels there and any one of them would be a great way to look.

Agreed, the stripe/collar on the bird's neck makes me think it's supposed to be a condor, not an eagle; but the body shape is that of an eagle. Just my 2 cents worth. Regards, GF.

 

[solidhadriel]

Thanks guys! Your not the first to point the stripe out, so I think I'll remove it.

Glad to get some others perspectives!

Thanks and cheers

 

[solidhadriel]

A couple more designs to consider....

 

[WayFrae]

I really like that last one the best. I do think that you need the apostrophe in Jordan's though.

 

[bford]

I know I'm late to this... I like the last versions... but in the very last one, I would lose the mug of beer... just looks out of place and it isn't needed....

The second is better that first who add in thread. It's clear and looking attractive.
