	The point of the roundabout is you don't have to come to a complete stop because if you follow the arrows to get to the street you want you will not cross paths with on coming traffic.

	@TimesChange I like most of what you did, but I think putting the pedigree up top is throwing it off balance.

Once we have come to a decision, we will make an announcement. Until then, we appreciate your patience. Click your cockle burrs together, Snicketts, and make this the happy ending we all know it can be. And I just sharpened my pitchfork and lit my torch I would keep them on the standby.

	And is it just me or is their new shade of blue way way way too purple looking?

	Is it possible to vertically center the name of the comic between the top of the info (to the right of the grade) and the bottom of the border?

	Lets just go back to the old label with thicker better paper and make the colours ping a bit more. Winner Change the logo to holofoil but keep the old logo perhaps. The old label was almost perfect.

	I think part of the reason for the logo change is they wanted to have the CBCS letters big and inside the shield. I think the same effect could easily been accomplished with the old shields shape made bigger to allow the lettering inside.

Unfortunately my photo shop prowess is very limited or I may have tried to do more with it.

I don't disagree with you on that if you take what you have, don't blow it away completely but tweak it here and there you build on what you have instead of starting over. If you do go to a complete rework then it better be great with a huge majority singing your praises or your just changing for the sake of change.

	From a distance, the 9.4 in the font CBCS is using becomes hard to tell if it's 9.0, 9.4 or 9.6. JWKyle's font looks like 9.4 from any distance.

I liked what foghorn sam started to do, so I went ahead and did one myself trying to keep the basic new look. I removed all the Skeuomorphism (the fake metal and the rivets) and used a new font. Also increased the size of artist writer and first appearance. I would like them to be slightly larger more pronounced, seem so small on the new label.

Moved date and publisher over the grade, looks more balanced with page quality below, also gives more room for artist writer etc..

I moved the pedigree to the top bar and made it gold, I always wanted a better showcasing of pedigree copies, you could even duplicate it and put one on the right side.

This is at least what I would like, I prefer a less embellished label like a PSA card or a coin label. Font used was Myriad pro, using some condensed and some with bold.

	I like the idea of putting the pedigrees in gold ink, I think it really adds something special that makes them stand out in the crowd.

Thanks, I agree with you on balance, The reason I did it this way, and why CBCS does this, is because you have to leave room for some books that have more info, also need to leave room at the bottom next to the page quality is for condition notes. So balance will not be perfect on most books.

	This is my first attempt, admittedly rough because I put this together using Photobucket tools and borrowing the basic template from Times Change design (left off the Edgar Church pedigree as it was too difficult incorporating the attribution using Photobucket fonts). This is just to provide an idea of my thoughts along the lines of simplicity and color coordination. It isn't finished piece by any means, just a design concept... Now, back to my ale!

I know, I agree and I struggled with that, but in the end I liked pedigree issues to stand out, and it does:-) What about this to balance it? it would just be on pedigree issues, actually I thought about the idea of changing the entire label color for pedigree.

The font I used was Myriad pro, condensed and condensed bold, It's a very nice basic font. My personal preference would be a softer blended color scheme that compliments the new hologram shield without competing with the comic for attention. Something simple and elegant, perhaps with a touch of art deco... The Church pedigree would've been on the right side just under the first appearance attributions. The solid color bracket is one of the elements that doesn't work for me (on the rivet design as well). Your grade font and color background improved on the CBCS design. IMO, emphasizing the pedigrees at the top in a different color is ...well, over the top, but I have a lot of pedigreed books in my collection, so I do appreciate what you did there. BTW, I don't mind criticism of this. It's a rough design based on another suggested label template. My expectations are as low as the methods used to fascilitate the design.

	10 minutes with MS Paint, and I like this one better. Minor tweaks to the original, and we are all set. I don't even mind working for free on this one!

Great that CBCS is taking it all under advisement to sort this out.
