labels FROG DOG LABEL

FROG DOG

FROG DOG

I have many color combos i am working but this was the first idea to come about.....colors that pop....a dog that resembles a frog....and simple. 
still working a border into it and a few other things, will keep updates coming. :dance:

I can't open the file.  Can you upload it to photobucket (or similar) and post image or save in different format?

judging only the pic that was posted:
 
I like it - unique coloring on the dog and I like the 'expression' on the dog's face.
 
Would prefer to see the 'frog dog' lettering at the top be a little thicker and larger - it should stand out more.
 
Should have the 'frog dog' and the 'sauce co' in the same font imo.

I don't get it. 
 
1. What's a Frog Dog? 
2. It doesn't look like a hybrid dog/frog, it looks like a dog in a frog costume. If that's what you're going for, good deal. But it sounded like you wanted more of a hybrid.
3. In my opinion it would look better if  "Frog Dog Sauce Co" was all on the same line, of if "sauce company" was very small underneath.   
4. While red / green work as contrasting colors, this comes off looking cartoonish and not like a professional graphic for a product. Not a fan of the artwork. It looks like it was done in MS Paint .
5. The "glow" around the dog is more distracting than beneficial and the yellow outline around the image is very distracting. Is the dog supposed to be radioactive? If not, the glow doesn't make sense to me, and I get fixated on it rather than the overall label itself.  Then you have a drop shadow on all the lettering - it's just too much. Less is more when it comes to special effects. 
 
 
By the way, there's already a company named "Frog Dog". They are a marketing & communications firm. A fairly well established one at that. Might want to check out trademark issues in using this name before you burn too much time on a label? In the least it'll make it difficult to secure the URL for your website, and at worst they'll go after you for infringement.

Good luck with your design - I'm sure it'll round out as you go through revisions - this one's pretty raw in my opinion. :cheers:

Also, why is Frog higher than Dog?
 
The effect this creates is that it opens up the left-hand side of the label and draws the viewier's eye to the big open area of red background. 
 
Having symmetrical lines helps to draw the viewer's eye to the parts of the label you want them to see. Asymmetry can do this too if used with deliberate effect, however it's not the case here. 
 
might be best to level out Frog Dog at the top. 
 
Just food for thought...

I own french bulldogs thus the reason i came up with the name. Frenchies are often called frog dogs because of the way the lay down with their back legs extended. This is a rough draft and there are many more phases to go through. I hired a graphic designer to help me refine it. should be fun!!

By the way Lucky, it seems as though lucky dog has been used as many brand names. I think Frog Dog is a bit more under the radar in terms of titles. Thanks for you feedback, i am definitely listening. I agree it looks cartoony, but i'm not quite sure that is a bad thing yet.

That is true - there are many Lucky Dog things. A famous hot dog stand in LA, dog treats, pet toys, etc. It's why I had to hire a TM attorney and spend extra time/money on my trademark - it's registered as a sub-class of a sub-class of a sub-class, and it is all 4 words:  LUCKY DOG HOT SAUCE
 
I would strongly advise you to get a TM attorney so that you can achieve the same protection if you intend on moving forward with something that is the name of a marketing company - they tend to take intellectual property pretty seriously in that industry. 
 
Again, just some friendly advice. 
 
And yes - working with a graphic artist would be a good idea. 
 
Thanks for the explanation of "frog dog" - not sure the general public will get it. Having a sort of "inside joke" as a product name tends to work against you most of the time. If you're only trying to sell this to French Bulldog owners who get the reference, well, ok. But for mass appeal you might want to consider a name that people get.

Lucky Dog has a lot of good questions and comments. Sounds like you've been through the wringer on your products LD. I've been working on a label just for what I'm giving away to friends and family and can pull away some solid advice from here if I want to move up with it. Thanks

I dunno if you'd call it "the wringer", but it was certainly a challenge. And since it was a convoluted process I had to spend more on the trademark process than I may have otherwise.

Just trying to help someone else avoid (or be prepared for) the same pitfalls I've encountered. Have had a few folks do that for me over the years and when I got started so I like to pay it forward when I can.

And when something is already a name of a brand it's especially important to avoid infringement. :cheers:

i don't really think people need to understand  brand name to be interested in trying it. I actually believe Frog Dog is a name people wouldn't forget. I don't know what cholula means, or sriracha, or most of the other hot sauce brands.....i don't think understanding why a brand is called what it's called really makes much of a difference. I'm not being defensive, just an honest opinion. Again, thanks for the advice!!
