Sharie whered you go? I know there are more talented people on this site. I thought this was a competition. I was hoping for lots and lots of entries.

I will be posting a completely new one later tonight, early morning. It just isn't quite ready to show yet

This one just showing the center of the label

"I just noticed I messed his hand up when I did some resizing, so just letting you know his hand is not a blob of skin color"

updates v1-3.

So far I like all of them, especially certain aspects of each of them. Keep plugging away and I will try to give advice where I can. Im just not an artist so I can only do so much. So far both of your last entries are the best. I guess a little more pizzazz is what I am after but they are both very close. Coy please change the green background to something else maybe a sky blue at the top faded to an earthy brown near the bottom. Wish the Rooster could flex his muscles some as in a boosted rooster???
Shari maybe a little more detail in the boy and his clothing and try to incorporate the slogan in there somewhere. I hope Im helping and not frustrating ya'll but this is gonna be my label for a very long time I hope.

Shari i like the original border with the new little boy better.

[Coy]

I can make those changes and will work on a more animated rooster. I'll also try to think of something with a little more Pizzazz to either add to it or another entry.

Perhaps I can enlarge both animals to add a little something to it and give it less background? I'll work on it. LOL

[sharie]

Thanks for the feedback, I will move the new little boy to the first label and add some more detail. I will play a bit with the slogan as well for its' placement

[Coy]

here ya go. Played with what I had at the moment. Colors and messin with the animals a bit.
I was thinking of flames but it sounds like your not really targeting HOT. lol

I also don't think you want to make it too busy looking and clutered that may have a negative effect of what you're trying to do.

I do think "johnny" stands out a bit more with the lighter color, good call.

I need to do something with the "text" boxs but will leave that for now as a place holder till you're able to add a message there or what have you.

[sharie]

I should have asked this before...The first label you like is designed to not cover the whole product, so there would be jar or what the container is showing above and below. My question is do you want the label to be a complete container wrap or how I just explained the first label.

If the label is like I have designed then part of the little johnny can go out of the label if you want for placement or do you want the character and other elements in a whole complete label wrap.

[Mad Dog]

That looks a LOT better Coy. The font color is nice too, I probably wont add the message til after the contest, or the ingredients. Whoever wins this thing can add them before they send me the final. I dont think it will be that hard to add, do you? I guess you and Shari are the only two that are gonna enter this thing.

[Mad Dog]

Shari some product should show above and below the label b ut I would like the label to wrap almost entirely around the bottle. If part of the little boy is abov e the main part of the label that is fine.

[sharie]

I will upload some more revisions and ideas for you later today/this evening. DO you like the bald chicken/rooster or would like to see the designs without the bird?

[Mad Dog]

i like the bird and the rack of ribs.

I really like them both. I would darken the boys hair and change the colors to more reds and oranges and blues. I dont like the green at all.
