He wants to add some St James perique (about 10% worth <-- it only ended up being 5-6%, per mr.c) to give it some real kick and give us something really unique."

As I was reading this description I immediately started to salivate. Man-O-Man.


I am really starting to admire the way IHT wields his moderator powers, popping up in other peoples posts and modifying the forum at will. Makes me go back and read things twice.
croatan - that's 'cause he's a control freak. Indeed.

Agreed.

Still waiting for my friend to get time in class (doesn't have CS3 at home) to make a label >.<

rough draft... got rid of the greenish silver background, went with the "green bar" color for the background. the orange/gold color bar at the top is the color of the bars on top/bottom of the label and text.
i'm going to make a better circle for the mad gorilla...

another png file, so hopefully anyone can download it and edit it themselves if they want.

I still like this one, but maybe if the background was black, the bars white and bananas yellow. That's all for me until I figure out how to do it myself.

a sphincter says what?
croatan - Eh? What'd he say? I can't hear... Indeed.
IHT - get outta my reply... you want this fist up?
croatan - Hm. Still pretty sure you don't know what "up" means.
IHT - Indeed!

not to scale, but close.

same basic elements as my first design, laid out more like the Dark Star label...

clean, classy, and playful, I think...

Very nice! Great work.

Here is the one I made that you can use if you want - it's in the png format that you seem to like - but can make it in most any format.

These are getting progressively better and better with each passing critique and comment, outstanding!

Dont know how I feel about the crazy mod post editing frenzy of a few minutes back but it makes for a fun read
