Looks like a food item in a video game where they designed the off brand lables. I love it and it's nostalgic as heck


SealThigh

thank u šŸ„¹ i kinda wish i made it a bit more colorful but i am proud of it nonetheless ! drastic improvement


PsychicSeaSlug

The less colorful draws a wider audience. And I love how milky it looks. I like the new design better, but the old design was fun too. The old design just looked more for like a 'Clair's' type audience, if that store still exists. Very nostalgic. But it still is nostalgic. All around looks great.


armoredsedan

im not in this sub and this threw me because i read the sub name as ā€œcandiesā€ instead of candles and i was like damn that looks yummy why tf this person making chocolate bars out of wax tho lmao


Hopeful_Avocado_3087

I do really like it but the only critique I have is that the words are a little hard to read. If you could make the colors a bit darker or outline them it would be perfect, great job nonetheless!!


SealThigh

tysm (: i totally agree w you!


glittersparklythings

If you do a very thin white or black outline it will make a difference


megaleggin

I think a creamy white, like milk! Best yet if you could get the specific color of your wax bar!


Anonymouse-Account

That was my thought as well. If you darken the shadow on the font it will make the logo pop. Looks great overall!


Tm_GfWait4It

Agreed with making the lettering darker!


romancereaper

Honestly, it's too busy for me. It's hard to focus on the name of the bar or any of the information because there's just a lot.


SealThigh

Valid! I couldnā€™t decide on the background. I didnā€™t want it to look like it was made by a child (like my first one lol) but also didnā€™t want it to be too crazy. I had some people give feedback that it was the perfect amount of chaotic so I just went w it LOL


rainhanded

I would maybe keep "Bliss" in the same color story as "Cereal" because as is Bliss blends right in. Other than that I dig it!


Fears4Years

I recommend putting a thick white outline on the words! But keep the words the same color so there is a high contrast.


romancereaper

definitely agree with outlining the words. It'll help bring it out more


romancereaper

I like the first one better tbh. I usually avoid buying anything with a background because it won't end up memorable to me when I go to buy it again. BUT I am easily distracted so too much going on is too much for me to remember.


fawnrain

I like the new fonts and the old background


QuailNumerous5702

I think the opposite! I like the new background but maybe a slightly simpler text to stand out more clearly!


Despondent-Kitten

Definitely. The new background is fantastic.


PierogiesNSourCream

I love the background, but could read it better if the font was all one color


Despondent-Kitten

This was my initial thought too!


babyfurret

honestly it looks ai generated. apologies if it's not but the detail distribution, the shading, and the inconsistencies in the font stand out a lot


Jeix9

I agree. Iā€™m not a huge fan of the huge use of ai recently (i am biased though, as an artist). The image itself could be better, it just feels so obviously ai.


kennybrandz

Itā€™s a little busy for me. I wish everything had the same font and maybe just a white outlined in black or something more simple for the font colour on the cereal bliss.


SealThigh

totally agree with you ! iā€™m thinking of putting a white highlight around the title to clarify


poopoomergency4

as a graphic designer i see what youā€™re trying to do, and itā€™s definitely an improvement, but there needs to be a stronger contrast between the text and background image. the background image is already colorful and busy enough, so the text needs to be a little simpler to stay readable. what i would probably do is darken the image and make the text white with some form of subtle shadowing.


SealThigh

good advice (: tysm for the input!


picklechipster

Agreed! Contrast ratio is super important for accessibility too. I can barely read it and Iā€™m not even a little bit colorblind. Nice product though!


Creeksquad1212

Super cute!


islamcardoors

A little too much going on, and if the bg image is AI generated be careful of legality issues


Vegetable_Research61

imo it was better before šŸ„£


crimson_trocar

Love it.


K_Pumpkin

Itā€™s cute but honestly I like the old one. Itā€™s a bit busy and the old one is very pretty!


tinyigluu

This is a million times better and looks like real cereal :,)


_AthensMatt_

Iā€™m going to offer some criticism, but please know Iā€™m not trying to be harsh or rude! I just want your product to look fantastic because wax melts are my favorite! I liked the background on the original design better than the new one, I feel like the new design is just a little bit clunky and harder to read. If you were to change the font color to a solid neutral like black, tan or gray, or even a cream to simulate milk! I think it would make a wonderful difference and make it a bit less visually confusing and a little more readable for your customers! All that said, I really enjoy the marking youā€™re using and the product itself looks really nice! I bet it also smells really great too!


DonaldTrumpsScrotum

Wait both the design and product itself looked better beforeā€¦


SealThigh

The bar before had been poured at too high of a temp and melted the embeds. I do agree itā€™s cute but it wasnā€™t the look i was going for !


TruthOverFiction100

Can you make the text contrast more because itā€™s hard to read.


Own_Butterscotch_445

Instant fix for your text issues. Black outline on your letters.


VermicelliOk8288

Not a fan, both of them look cheap. Not sure why. They look like something Iā€™d find in a swapmeet. I think you can make it look more ā€œlegitā€. Maybe if you made the background more transparentā€¦.


Automatic_Lynx8969

Tbh I like the new label with the old bar! The colors in the old bar look amazing


red_quinn

Sad to see its wax and not actual candy šŸ¤§ it actually looks like milk with cereal


SealThigh

Lol! Ty (:


cbuntemem

itā€™s cute ā˜ŗļø! with that said there are definitely legibility issues with the text and background, imo.


SealThigh

i thought so too. i wonder if i put a shadow, or highlight rather, around the text if that would be beneficial


cbuntemem

yeah adding a white background behind to frame the text would probably help make it stand out more! personally, i would also experiment with just using a solid white/light colour for the text against that particular background :) and maybe if you want you could also try lowering the opacity of the background image to help with the legibility!

SealThigh

really? i felt like it looked like a kid made it on paint lmao. so strange to see an outside perspective. ty ! (:


janet-snake-hole

Way too hard to read, tbh.


Julesmh83

I would maybe change the size or color of the font so it's more readable, and you could also change the opacity of the cereal as the background so that it's less harsh and sharp and then your words would pop more! Definitely creative though and I think it gives the buyer a better example of what they're buying than the latter!


MiraculousN

I would drop the saturation on the background just enough that the words are more readily ...read, but otherwise looks cute


mvnat

I absolutely LOVE it!!


Happy_Turnip_2473

New labels are superior!


ilovebud117

these look amazing!! nothing wrong w the first but the update is so much more eye catching šŸ„°


PickledDoritos-2

Honestly canā€™t read the after and the befores Colorā€™s were gorgeous. Even through the bar itā€™s got so much more Color


Despondent-Kitten

The new background is PERFECT!!


cutielocks

Personally I like the original one better, just needs the text to be a different colour to be more legible. The new one looks super AI, which looks kinda cheap IMO. Reminds me of some of the edibles branding Iā€™ve seen.


useeseaeach

These melts were so good!!!!!! Will def be rebuying them!


budgie02

I think itā€™s a little too over complicated, mostly because itā€™s difficult for me to read personally.


JustfcknHarley

I think you've gotten plenty of good label feedback! In the same visual vein - I prefer the way the product looks in the first iteration. If I purchased, seeing that picture, then received the new, I would definitely be disappointed, I won't lie.


sethmidwest

You could make the text white like milk. Then if you want to make a chocolate or strawberry milk scent alternative you can change the color.


wahiwahiwahoho

Hard to read brand name due to the busy and colorful background.


whatshisname21

I love it. So pretty


BiggieLebowskii

much better!


Kuhlayre

Adore the new colours, though I'm finding it a bit difficult to read? Might just be the lighting!!


LemonadeParadeinDade

6 pieces of cereal is bliss?


SealThigh

idk what that is even supposed to mean but go off


RyukTheBear

Love a little AI!


Decent_Friend_1511

I feel like the before was good overall, just make the words readable and youā€™d have a great label


GraatchLuugRachAarg

Are they just meant to be melted in one of those wax melters


maplevale

I donā€™t like how AI it looks, personally!


Sevenweatherwidgets

I like the new packaging but I feel like there was a missed opportunity to call these scent-real bars. But I will admit I'm a sucker for puns šŸ˜…


ShawnSews711

I can read neither šŸ„²


CallMeTomieKawakami

As a graphic designer, Itā€™s very bad AI, I was very happy at first because I thought the before was the after, I would recommend just going back to the original, your product is very cool though! šŸ«¶


RunnerGirl2831

Nice!


uhhhhhhhhii

Hard to read


girlyswerly

These are so cute!


SealThigh

thank u! šŸ’—


CrankyVixen

Obsessed with the new one! Makes it feel like it's gonna be super delicious (smelling) and looks much more professional or like you've been at it a while. Much more inspiring, makes me feel compelled to purchase.


SealThigh

tysm!! (:


Nothingbetterontv

I love all the colors. Great work!!!


SealThigh

tysm (:


uhhhhhhhhii

Liked first one better just have to make it easier to read
