Company Details: Industrial Detergent Manufacturer

Contest Details
Type Of Contest: Print Design

Contest Title: New Product Labels

Contest Deadline: 4/30/10

Prize Amount: 300

Colors To Be Used: grayscale

Example URLs: ACTION CAPS.pdf CAPS.pdf ACTION SOLID.pdf SOLID.pdf CITRA-SOLID.pdf CLEANSE DIP-D.pdf DIP-D.pdf SOLID GOLD.pdf GOLD.pdf SOLID GREEN.pdf GREEN.pdf Soapman Logo.jpg Logo.jpg SoapBuddy_Logo.ai

Please describe your project in detail: I have 6 products that need new label designs. I have attached a sample of each one along with a picture of our logo. All labels must be single color(grayscale). They all must have: common theme among them, the company logo, all text shown for each label, and MOST IMPORTANT: an illustration showing what the product is for. The illustrations must be able to tell you exactly what it is for without even reading any text. This is because users speak various languages. This will allow us to only need english text. The label size is 5x8". They will be clear labels on clear jars making the product visible through. The files I uploaded are close to what I have in mind. Be aware, these are INDUSTRIAL products, not consumer products. That is why I dont need fancy colors. I hope I explained this well enough. If not, please ask questions.

Welcome back afeig324

would I/we be able to use the soapman from your other contest.. I can change the expression to be similar to the one you linked above.? maybe color modification to match as well?

Is that the exact text you'd like to use on the labels as the ones you've linked?

Thanks

Here is the soapbuddy I have from your first contest here. as I said I could make the changes to look exactly like the one you posted.

Hello afeig324,

Kindly review my layout for ACTION CAPS, and let me know you feedback.



Note: You attached your Logo in AI (Adobe illsutrator format) so i believe Soap Buddy is the name of your Company, and ACTION CAPS is one of your product, Correct me if i'm wrong, because on one of the PDF you mentioned "CLEANSE•TEC" as a company name so i just used the logo you attached as it is.

[Coy]

can we extend this contest? I haven't started waiting on feedback from CH?

[afeig324]

Actually, I don't want to use the soap buddy logo. however, you can use the "soapy" character. just dont say "soap buddy".

[afeig324]

just for clarification, these products are being sold under our company name "cleanse tec". even though the soap character is similar, i dont want it to be associated with soap buddy.

[Coy]

thanks
I'll see what I can get finished before the deadline.

[afeig324]

I like the designs but just remove the "soap buddy" words. also, i would like to have some sort of illustration showing what the product is for. in the case of action caps, its used for dishwashers in restaurants

i would like for the deadline to be extended. how can i do that? i would rather have more time to get lots of entries.

[Coy]

You would want to contact Sharie or Resurepus so they can extend it.

I've sent them a PM for a heads up. This will give me a little more time to creat something.

Best regards,

Hello afeig324,

Thanks for your feedback, However i did the modification you asked for, or at least a bit closer to what i understand..

Things i did:

1. Removed the Soap Buddy Logo and replaced it with a Dish Machine Illustration
   
2. Duplicated the Description, Direction, Caution to the right side, Keeping the Address on it place.
   
3. Added a Dish with a Fork and knife on the top right corner a sing for a restaurant.

Kindly review, and let me know your feedback,

Regards,
Amr

A few things:

I liked the soapy character in the middle, i just didnt want the words, soap buddy. i believe one of the files i attached was for a soapy character holding a flag. I want to use that pic with the phrase "Fighting for Clean Dishes...THE AMERICAN WAY!".

I dont need the intructions duplicated on both sides. Instead, you can put the dish machine illustration on right.

also, i dont love the lighting bolt arrow thing. sorry :-)

[GoldenZ]

afeig324,
I Made your Modifications, Kindly review and let me know if i'm in the right direction,



Regards,

[afeig324]

Pretty good. I can't think of anything to modify as of now. I want to wait and see what other designs come in, but yours looks very nice.

thanks!

Not bad, Coy. The major problem here, and this goes for the other designers too, the dish machine picture looks like a household unit. Try googling "adc 44". that is an industrial dish machine. the picture should look more like that and less like a home unit.
