	Why is it that posts were deleted from this thread? Perhaps that should be taken as a hint to amend the tone and style of posting while exchanging relevant ideas & information instead of calling people names and posting as if engaging in guerrilla warfare for kindergartners. I don't know... just a guess on my part.

	I like the red label. I've always wanted to see black instead of clear plastic. Would look pretty sweet to display. Any reason why that hasn't been done yet by any major company's?

	I just wish we could see the comics spine better in the case.

	Like I said, which seems to have been overlooked, CBCS could implement different label options, those who want the old label can still get the old label. I'll never understand those who think just because they themselves like something exactly the way it is, that no one else should ever ask for anything different. Fresh ideas prevent stagnation. And since it takes months to years for a company to design, test, and roll out new products it is never too soon or the "wrong time" to share ideas for innovation with a company.

	@DarthLego Well said. And I don't really understand the infantile personal attacks being thrown around. It takes work to create something and put it out there for peer review. You would hope for constructive and respectful criticism. Not playground nonsense.

	I can appreciate the artistry that went into creating that new label, but in my opinion, it's too busy. I much prefer the label that CBCS is using now. I wouldn't mind if CBCS added a foil stamp to their shield logo, but other than that, I'm happy with the current look.

In those 16 years CGC's label has undergone multiple changes. Are you saying CBCS's customers should expect that a label change won't even be considered if a better option/design is pitched to them?

You're positive?

If they hadn't we'd have Yellow, Purple, and Green CBCS labels, no?

I only know of 2 times it changed, once when they went to the Big Number (2004?) and the most recent change. At what other times did they change their labels?

	Here's an idea. How about we forego the label altogether and laser etch the information right onto the plastic slab? Nothing to distract from the comic.

I guess I should have been more literal. Yes two changes. That would be more than one and therefore...multiple. I just think CBCS holders would look better with an improved label. I'm getting a very subtle feeling you don't agree though.

	Quote: Originally Posted by Thanos_of_Titan CBCS is definitely my choice for grading but in my opinion the labels for all companies out there at this point are just not what I want. They all stand out and detract from the comic book art rather than framing it in and complimenting the comic as I think it should. I was apprehensive for years to get my books graded just to have all my great Kirby covers plopped next to a generic, cheap printed, low quality label. Below I created a label that brands the comic to whatever company it belongs to. Here, Marvel is shades of red to match the logo, DC would be shades of blue, Darkhorse shades of Black & gray...you get the idea. The thin blue strip at the bottom of the label tells if it's a universal grade, Signature Series,Restored and so on. Yes, it's subtle, but I'm sorry those yellow and orange labels have got to go..they are hideous! Would you like to see your comics framed in with a label that looks like it actually brands and compliments your comic? If so, let CBCS know with your comments below. I openly offer to design all these labels for them at a very low cost. I just want to see this industry move to better labels. CBCS are the best graders out there. To me they kill the competition and have much better business practices. I feel that adding these labels would steal even more business from the competition and give CBCS more attention that I think they deserve. Not to slight your takung initiative, but changing label colors based on the company that created the book would create a lot of confusion. Given the current state of the graded comic marketplace, I think it is safe to say that CBCS will see about a 10% increase in market share over the coming months. A revamp of the CBCS labels would not hurt during this time, the label could use a bit more of an aesthetic "pop" to it but not a complete overhaul. OTOH, I think the CBCS labels look just about fine, how they currently arem

I don't know... just a guess on my part. I did respond to this but I guess the Mods didn't like it - just a guess. I only collect slabs with labels that match the color of my eyes, that's why my collection is all Qualified CGC slabs. There, I think I sanitized it.

	i prefer something a little bit more simplistic. This has a bit too much color too it for my liking and I dont know if the publisher should be the most prominent thing on the label. With that said, very impressive effort, love the idea of people pitching label redesigns

CBCS couldn't implement two methods of payment what makes people think that they can implement thousands of label options? Really guys!

	Well CBCS certainly has bigger fish to fry, which is probably why this thread was buried over 20 days ago. Thanks for digging it up . P.S. no one ever asked for 1000s of options. ONE option was suggested, ONE.

	I liked that laser etched idea. The concept label the OP made looks beautiful, but would cut into the profit margin to pull off, or just a spike in grading fees to cover losses

	For what it's worth, I do think the CBCS label could use some tweaks. In the overall scheme of things, it's not that important. But I think if it looked a little more professional and tasteful, it would go a long way.

There seemed to be more information on the back and information is a powerful selling tool.

	I think the current CBCS label is the best looking one on the market now. Allows the comic book itself to be the focus while providing in a non-obtrusive way the information that's the purpose of it being graded and slabbed in the first place. It's is obviously very hard to reach that balance given all the different opinions being expressed here. We seem to want the label to not be too flashy, but still have some style and appeal that compliments, not detracts from the comic book held within.

	I was looking at a slab and wanting to say maybe a blue boarder or maybe making the CBCS shield more pronounced. But to be honest I too think I'm fine with the label. If down the road They decide to tweak it here or there a little I would probably be OK with that also but please no major attention grabbing labels. And I'm a little older now so please no super small fonts like in CGC gen. 1 labels I have a heck of a time with the cert numbers.

	I like the design idea. A lot actually. Compliments the comic book as a frame does a piece of art. I understand how complex that would be to re-slab existing books when CBCS has been around now to have established a permanent style of headers for labels.
