new label

[rodmaker]

  need opinions please on the label my wife created. What do you think?

[Jen]

They are awfully small to critique, but what I see is real bright and pretty and catching to the eye

I don't know about the Leprechaun Bee with a pipe.

[Jen]

Thanks Apis, I got it! the paper clip thingy Doh!

Actually I don't mind the leprechaun at all, except for maybe the white wings and the white gloves, somehow that doesn't fit the look of a bee... to me. If she could redesign those two aspects ... ??

[blueblood]

I like it and get it.  Murray is a Scotch/Irish surname.  Clever.

[LazyBkpr]

I think its pretty slick!   Irish and German here.. suppose it would go over well if the bee was holding a mug o beer?   

[rodmaker]

  Well I'm scotch/german and my wifes maiden name is McReynolds so that is why the leprechaun.  She is irish/ cherokee so she gets what ever it is she wants and i just say yes dear. I have learned a little in thirty nine years of marriage .

[LazyBkpr]

Whooeee!  Smart man!  took me about 20 years to figure that out, so of 26 years being married the last six years havent been so bad.

Rod- "She is irish/ cherokee so she gets what ever it is she wants and i just say yes dear.

      I.. Love .. It! 

         I am Irish,       German,              Cherokee,                 and French
         I like beer,   Eat good food,   Make Smoke signals,   and Make.... Sauces

I like the label.  If you plan to sell in stores and markets you will need to check with the appropriate agencies for labelling requirements.   Fro example in Canada the grade of the honey needs to be included.

I like the brightness of the label but the words seem to be lost in the background. 

[Papakeith]

Just a bit of back lighting helps make the lettering pop. 
Also,  every image you used for your label came from the internet image search and is content that may be owned by other people(unless of course you created all of the separate images yourself. In which case please forgive my impertinence) .  Be careful of copyrite infringement when making your labels. 

[Jen]

This is very true Keith, I had to make this same consideration with some of my labels. I live in a small town that carries my my goods, I'm not too worried about infringment on a small local basis.

[rodmaker]

  My wife did use different images from the net never thought about copy rite problems will have to change the label to avoid problems. I do know she took bits and pieces of a bunch of different images to create the bee image. Thank you for the warning.

[Papakeith]

Honestly, for personal use while not exactly kosher it isn't that big of a deal. 
For commercial use is another animal entirely .

It wouldn't take too much work to change that bee image enough that it would be in the clear.

  while we like the label my bride is still playing with different ideas for the labels we will use. In the mean time i will continue to use the labels that are from Mann lake that have all info printed on them that meets the requirements of our local farmers market. We were just looking for something a little more distinct. When we decide i will post the new label for opinions.
