That said, the one you feature on this blogpost looks better than last year’s one in this respect.

Semantics rearing its head here I think Hugh — what I meant was that the silver Stormhoek badge was distinct from (although I accept it was physically connected to) the cartoon and for me that was a little jarring. Having a cartoon label and a standard Stormhoek labelling was a bit schizophrenic for me.
I suppose I’m going further than John James above in suggesting that the cartoon should be the only label and that any identification of Stormhoek (that might facilitate later purchases) would flow from something within it or perhaps just from the rear label.

Weird, John. The cartoon WAS integrated with the label last year. So your comment kinda leaves me scratching my head.
With this current design, believe it or not, a lot of the design function depends on which paper we choose to use to print the labels on.

As we discussed face to face, my one quibble with last year’s great label was that due to time constraints I imagine, it looked as if it had been slapped onto existing bottles (i.e complete with the other labelling) rather than being a special edition. Given there is more lead-time this year, I wonder if you could look into incorporating the Stormhoek name etc into the cartoon label (not within the cartoon per se but perhaps underneath it) so as to avoid that impression?

I really like the art. ON THE BOTTLE however, I think the secondary lable should be much smaller. nice stamp looking thing, not quite so large.

Very good — I like that there are 2 labels there, the message and then the product label itself. Some of the humor you guys are doing reminds me of things that the Bonny Doon winery used to do about 10 years ago. If only I drank rose.

I like this, but there were some from last year that made me weak in the knees.
Love begets love, for one.
But would I buy this if I saw it in Chicago? por supuesto.

I really like the labels. But then I also like the one's that didn't quite make the cut which say more to me about the reality of my life... http://www.everythingability.com/django/picasa/drawings/Crap20.jpg
