FPN Ink Label!!!!!!

Sal's Fountain Pens and Meat Market

Where is that? I need to pay it a visit (it sure perked up my dog's attention. She needs a new Core to replace one she put a few toothmarks in).

Great work on the label. I need to get my order in.

It's on the News Section or the Marketplace section (hard to miss )

Thanks! I normally just zero in on Inky Thoughts to find info on the ink. Just put in my order in w/ Bryan Petersen.

Edit: Good job to all of you that had a hand in putting this together - Admins/Nathan/Artists/et. al!

Oval!

I second the oval! But of course, it's fabulous either way...

Kissing, I like the one you put together with the oval portrait. It is an absolutely fabulous composition of many wonderful ideas. :)9 But I would change three (edit, no, four) things.

I do not like the shadow effect on the name of the ink.

Fix the bottom handles on the scroll.

edit: change the typeface for the URL to Palatino Linotype.

And, to lower printing costs and give the label a more unified look, convert it to monochrome printing, using a color as close to FPN Galileo Manuscript Brown. If that's not possible, then two-tone, FPN GM Brown and black.

Hi all,

The label is in the final stages. We're just hashing out the Noodler's info that goes on.

We did decide against the oval. When we compared them side by side, the portrait lost some of it's effect in the oval one and the label looked a little unbalanced. We'll be showcasing the final label soon.

Arkanabar,

Alas, I don't have the .psd file anymore...just the final .jpeg, so it would be hard for me to make any further adjustments. :bonk:

As the authorities will be "showcasing the final label soon", I don't think they need further input. I did what I could in the short time I had, and I sure hope it helped in some way in the label development. I look forward to the final product (I was after the free bottle of ink )
