Contest $40+$10 Label Design Contest - Already Have Logo

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by ninehigh, Jan 18, 2010.

  1. #1
    I had a logo made here for my client and they are now requesting a label to me made for their pill bottle.

    The logo will be for a Male Enhancement product. You can find the logos here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/v82flm

    I was told that the cdr file is vectorized, but I have no way of telling. the psd, ai and eps files appear to be rasterized.

    I will need the bottle artwork to be completely vectored (including the logo, so it may need to be re-created).

    Feel free to take the words "male enhancement" off of the logo.

    If I choose your design, i will also pay an additional $10 if you can wrap the label around a pill bottle rendering.

    The logo should be 2.5" x 2.5", 600 DPI ultimately.

    I have ran many contests here before and I hope that this is as successful as the rest of them!

    EDIT::

    Here is some text. Feel free to create your own also (check out other Male Enhancement products for ideas)

    New
    Male Enhancement
    Longer. Harder. Stronger.
    Your daily dose for sexual health.
    60 capsules

    HERE IS THE DOWNLOADABLE TEMPLATE FOR THE LABEL IN EPS:

    *The "table" and "suggested use" on either side need to stay, but I would like the background to continue behind them.

    you want to revector the logo?

    and create a label?

    Do you have any text context we can put in?

    Yes, It would be the re-vectoring of the logo and the creation of the label.

    I will create some text context now and post when I'm done. I would like to see some potential layouts soon though.

    Thanks for your questions.

    I do think your logo is vectorized. It is the MaxMight Layered.

    As I stated in the OP, it should be 2.5" x 2.5", ultimately 600dpi.

    Logo is not vectorized, it's pixled all over
    that's why all logos should be in ai format, nothing else is vector

    I have added some text for the bottle at the end of the original post.

    Let's see what you've got!

    Chewysmom - I like that background for the label. I would prefer something more creative with the text. They do not all need to be in the same font and format... dress it up a little bit.

    Apparently you don't know what vector is.

    If you are judging by the pixels, you're entry is not vector lol.
    check this out.

    [​IMG]


    Adobe Illustrator is really a vector program but Photoshop so does have a vector tools so logo's can be .psd or .ai.
    Vector is the use of shapes through pen tool and by the use of connecting anchors to each other while maintaining curvature.

    Just explaining.

    I'll post my entry soon ^_~

    Well, as I said. XD It will be soon. I've got to finish something.

    And the layered PSD on the pack was huge.

    And I can pretty much say that the burning fist was somewhat vectored.

    Chewysmom - The proportions of the label are off. The top third of it is blank space, then everything is crammed and over lapping at the bottom. The font that was used on the logo is Century Gothic. The overall look of your label is too cartoony.

    Let's keep this clean guys, no bickering.

    Obviously you need to flatten and raster the image so that you can view it as an acceptable format in the forum.

    I used Century Gothic as well in the logo.
    The cartoony look is the result of the logo on a dark background and the shine on top of the logo letters.
    I reduced the shine a bit.

    Here's just an idea...

    I've never made a label before so I just improvised the size...left more room on right side for "Nutrition Facts" and stuff (if you need it).

    Of course the words are all improvised by myself as well...

    Enjoy. Feedback appreciated.

    I have received the template for the label from their manufacturer. The EPS template can be downloaded here:

    *The "table" and "suggested use" on either side need to stay, but I would like the background to continue behind them.
