@DarthLego My lips are sealed

@Kinzebac I didn't think to ask but I'd imagine they can't be too far away

Ok, so here's the label I've been working on pasted back on the book I originally took it from.




I made a slight change to your image that softens the bracket and adds a slight color graduation. This gives the label a bit more elegance without taking away any of the clean design elements...




Since we're still tossing around ideas, I'm trying to find some area of compromise from which to build a consensus.

Say, I think you're onto something here, I like it. I tried to do a gradient in the background, but I was afraid it would look too busy. I never thought of doing the gradient on the border but it seems to work.

@Foghorn_Sam Thanks!

These are good ideas to bounce around.

Actually, it does remind me of the legion of Doom's Hall of Doom.

The logo looks like a stock image for a home security service.

Yeah the gradient on the border is a lot better but I would still eliminate the border on the sides and shorten the top border a bit.

Seems that your last gradient attempt has led you to a better end result. This is an improvement for sure.

And another- with either logo. I like the balance of two 'boxes' on the left and right. And the wide open space on the right doesn't throw things off balance for me, strangely. It feels like a space reserved for 'special' notations, and (for me) works whether it's empty or full.

And another - Agree with what Scott said above.

How about tweaking the shield and the above/below text to match the same shade of blue as the grade number. The shield area seems to be just a bit too subtle. Be nice to see how it looks.

I still like the top one better than second from the top. But here it is... and the other types of labels. Blue border on the top is the light blue from the old CBCS logo. Next one down is the blue from the 9.4 font.


Yes, I took time out of legal practice for this!

They all look great except for the second one.

If the shield was elongated, lost the rivets, lost the muscle car font on CBCS, and looked less Medieval Times Dinner Theater, it might be okay. Emphasis on the might. I would take the old logo hands down... any day.

I could design that shield in an hour or so.
