ETHOS Grooming Essentials A New Line

More space, for sure.  And maybe a little smaller radius around the corners of the label to correspond with the ones on bottle.  Right now they are too big, just my opinion.

The label company I’m currently using only offers straight edges or the rounded and there’s no adjustments. Trust me it’s hard to find good label companies that don’t require 1000  unit runs for each label. 

Wish I could find one. 

Thanks for the input.

I don't understand Dragonsbeard - don't you already make 1000 soap batches for us all already ? It should be easy to use up a 1000 labels for your product - I bet if you aren't yet geeting out such large batches that you will sooner than you think. It's that good !

Ok sounds trivial but sometimes I have a little bit of a case of OCD so I ask others when I can’t make up my mind. Now that I’ve settled in the rounded corner label there’s one thing bugging me. Do you think there should be a little more space between the word Colonia and the EDP next to it. My graphic designer says no and I told her when I look at a photo of it the two look like they’re almost one and I think it needs just a little space between them. Maybe it’s me.  Nothing dramatic just like a tiny bit to the right and then the whole thing centered.  I want to get these to the printer asap so appreciate sone opinions.

Thanks guys! 

Hmmm.
This will probably throw a spanner in the works but, would separate lines be a consideration?....to avoid any potential confusion? 
As it stands, It almost reads as if the actual fragrance is called 'Colonia EdP', rather than 'Colonia' (the name of the scent/fragrance) in 'EdP' (The level of concentration)

For example...

'Acqua Di Parma: Colonia Intensa EDC'

 
Rather than...

'Acqua Di Parma: Colonia Intensa'

'EdC'

Hopefully, that makes sense. 

Speaking from my experience only, I don't recall seeing the name of a fragrance, and the level of concentration placed in line with one another. 
If there's a rear label, 'EdP' could even be moved to that one, or placed in a less noticeable manner.

Regarding the corners.....sharp/squared looks more in-sync with the shape of the bottle.

Thank you for your input and now that I’m looking at it from your perspective it makes sense and I think that’s the real reason why I wanted a space between them but your take on it struck home. Back to the drawing board. 

I have some rounded corner labels and some straight labels for other products in the line so I’m going to cut them both to size and put them on the bottle and see which one looks better in person.  I’m doing all that today as I want to get the order in for the labels because the juice is ready to go. 

Good input!

Dragonsbeard Am I missing something Frank. The bottle looks square and people are saying that but I assumed it's ROUND like the Dragonsbeard EDP bottle

No your correct Dave the bottle is a round puck style. Like the Dragonsbeard EDP bottle.

Dragonsbeard you realize none of this will impact sales at all.

Stipulated BUT one undertakes initiatives based on internal values.  If one holds, as the core strategy, that their product is the best in its class at any price point, this a consistent tactic in pursuit of that strategy: as are other peripheral areas such as packaging and promotion. This particularly the case in cosmetic related lines of business.

If this product was sold on-shelf...at brick & mortar retail I might feel differently. It isn’t. The minor changes being excessively contemplated are so minute as to be totally irrelevant in terms of consumer acceptance and sales.

Maybe Frank is overthinking this... However, it shows his dedication to his product. The product speaks for itself. The reviews here and elsewhere support that. Still, it is a good reminder he's still Frank... he's still working as hard as he can to make it the best, and he isn't "phoning it in".

I think we can all agree there?
