We've got a lot going on here in the studio. Finalizing designs, testing product, preparing for the October Release...decisions, decisions, decisions.
Well we can be quite the indecisive bunch sometimes, so we thought it would be fun to get your opinion! So will you help us?
We are trying to finalize the lids for our inks. And...we have narrowed it down to these two. We are torn, completely torn. So what do you think? Design A or B?
We'd love to hear which one you'd choose! And thanks for your input!
I like B! INKS??? Dawn, how fabulous!!! I'm so excited for you.
ReplyDeleteThe B one shouts out Wplus9 design studio the A it gets lost in! :>
ReplyDeleteI agree - I like the "B" design. How exciting!!
ReplyDeleteB just jumps right out at you.
ReplyDeleteInks? How exciting. I like design A - it's a little more edgy.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I like design A. And I really like that "made in the USA" is so clear. But for retail, would design B hold its own better? The wording on B pops a bit more. I don't think I'm helping. :)
ReplyDeleteYour name is very identifiable and focal on B if that's your goal, go wtih B. If you want people to "think ink" got with A.
ReplyDeleteA
ReplyDeleteI really like A, Dawn!
ReplyDeleteI like B!
ReplyDeleteI have to fall in the B camp although A is nice too! I like how B clearly shouts your name and looks great too!
ReplyDeleteI like B!
ReplyDeleteI love the crisp, clean look of Design B.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you were working on Pigment inks. Soooo excited!!!
First, yay ink! I really, really like the graphic punch of A, but your branding is better on B, so if you want easy brand identity, B is the better choice. But, A is the more eye-catching design. This probably didn't help your decision making.
ReplyDeleteI like B.
ReplyDeleteClean & Simple!
I like B because it clearly shows the brand of ink. Anything you create just has to be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI really like the design of A, but I like how your logo is so prominent on B! Maybe combine the two? Design A with a more visible logo? :-)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely "B"! Dawn, I am beyond thrilled to hear this news!!!!! Yay for Wplus9!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd love the shape!!!
DeleteI like B - because it really showcase the brand of the ink from Wplus9.
ReplyDeleteOh, this just makes me sooooo happy!!!! How awesome, Dawn!
ReplyDeleteI love "B" too! I love that it has your full logo on it!!!!
A is more pleasing to the creative eye (has a little character)...B has a much cleaner logo look to it! I like them both...sorry, that isn't much help, is it?! :)
ReplyDelete"B" -- goes with your cleaner and simpler approach. Bet the ink rocks!
ReplyDeleteI like A more.
ReplyDeleteI definitely like "B" the best!
ReplyDeleteDesign B, definitely!
ReplyDeleteI agree with what others are saying. Choose design A if you want eye-catching and design B if you want to emphasize branding. However, I do think the "made in the USA" notation is a hugh selling point (at least for me). Is there any way to incorporate that into design B?
ReplyDeleteWell...
ReplyDeleteI'm not really going to be any help...
I like them both...
but since there's already a crowd here and don't want to be a party pooper...
let's chose B!! : )
But let me just say that in my infinite wisdom...
because well...
I'm really smart like that...
ink pads mean colors.
If you're going to have colored inks then you're going to have colored cardstock...
right?!!!!
Can I give a HUGE Sounthern holler of WHOO-HOO!!!!
Lovin' it!!! :)
I like B! Can't wait to hear more about your inks!!
ReplyDelete"B" because your brand is more prominent but I like the edgyness of the "A" design. Maybe if you brought something to the banner on design "B" like those background accents ih the So 80's stamp set it will give it some edge. I am so excited that you are releasing ink. I have yet to commit to big ink pads. One of the big reasons is because I can't make up my mind if I want dye ink or pigment ink...everyone seems to use dye ink but I really like how a lot of my stamping turns out with pigment ink. I will be trying your ink out for sure.
ReplyDeleteDesign B!!! Because Wplus9 is bigger :D And it's less "messy" than Design A.
ReplyDeleteI like B because of your company logo.
ReplyDelete"B"...it has Wplus9 logo on it!!Awesome!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! Wplus9 inks can't wait to try it out!!!
I really like design B! So excited:)
ReplyDeleteDesign B. I like the focus on the company name.
ReplyDeleteI can understand why you are torn between the two designs; each has its own pros and cons. Based on what I've seen of your company - and I haven't been around long to see much - I'd go with design B. The prominence of your well-designed logo stands out and tells people of the brand behind the ink. What a great addition to your product line.
ReplyDeletelove option b for sure!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm not going to be any help as I love the stylish look of A but know B might be more recognizable. Love the idea of ink though. Can't wait for the release!
ReplyDeleteA all the way! It's distinctive and classy - just like Wplus9. B is Just too predictable. Now I would up the font size just a bit on your name on design A.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely B!
ReplyDeleteInks?! Huray!!! I would pick the `B` design.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting. I prefer the B design. I like how your company name is highlighted as well as your logo. I think it's better for your brand image.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others - B, because it has the full logo on it! How exciting!!
ReplyDeleteI like Design B...your logo is big and clear.
ReplyDeletedefinitely B
ReplyDeleteWhile A is fun....I think B is the best bet!
ReplyDeleteA all the way.
ReplyDeleteWhile it seems "edgy" because of the balance and logo bleed, it's really a more mature design. As a bonus, it won't feel dated in 3 years when the shine has worn off that double-banner trend. (And you'll want to fix the kerning if you do go with A. It looks like you've already done B.)
And I think B would be better if it were at your signature angle, larger, and with one end of the banner over the edge.
DeleteI agree with your insights!
DeleteI so agree with Sarah here too! I think A would be perfect if your signature WPlus9 could be included in it ... but B just feels predictable and 'safe' the way it is now. YAY on ink!! Looking forward to seeing more!
DeleteB.
ReplyDeleteEveline
I have to say B because your logo and name stand out and is distinctive. I love the little 'plops' on A but your logo won me over.
ReplyDeleteB - It just looks more "professional" and more Wplus9-ish.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Karin
Another vote for B and yay for WPlus9 inks!
ReplyDeleteB
ReplyDeleteI like B. I think it is a cleaner look.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of A.
ReplyDeleteI like the design of A, but you have a logo and I really think you should use your logo on your product so my vote is for B.
ReplyDeleteI like B much better
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for B because the brand name is prominent. I am so excited about your new inks.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Design B. WPlus9 is kind of lost on Design A, but is very prominent on Design B.
ReplyDeleteI picked B right away.....love it!
ReplyDeleteI am of no help! I am completely torn as well! However, my 4 year old son immediately picked A bc the ink splotch looks like blood to him! lol HTH ;o)
ReplyDeleteINK! How wonderful! I can't wait - if its from you, I know I will love it! So, even though design B has the company name front and center, I think design A is fun, edgy and totally you! Congratulations, Dawn, this is such great news!
ReplyDeleteDesign B looks more professional and is my personal choice.
ReplyDeleteI like design A best but your logo needs to be added to the lid.
ReplyDeleteI like "B" Dawn.
ReplyDeleteElaine Allen
B
ReplyDeleteI like it because its a cleaner design.
Design B!!! By leaps & bounds! It's easy to read. It has more visual appeal as well.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne from S. Florida
B shows off your name better, but I'm drawn towards A.
ReplyDeleteI like design B better. I like seeing the Wplus9 insignia displayed on the front of the case and I also like the bold presentation of Pure Color in the banner. The overall case design of B catches my eye better than A.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the design of the first one, but the second one is more recognizable as WPlus9, and in the end that might be more important!
ReplyDeleteDesign B is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on introducing ink pads soon!
Greetings from The Netherlands, Europe,
Judith
The B one .....so Wplus9!
ReplyDeleteI love the edgy design of A (especially the ink splotch!). But also love your logo on design B. I know...I'm no help at all!
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you're asking for our input :)
B, it is classic, clean and simple. The first one leaves me wondering what those blobs are (yes I know they are ik splotches)...yes first one more trendy, however changing the design after the trendiness wears off may be costly and will create an inconsistent look of your product line over a period of time.
ReplyDeleteB,B,B,B !!!!! I think most of us have gone for ink lid design B,for me it was the one that I felt looked clean and professional. So nice of you to ask us, it's refreshing to feel like our opinion counts.
ReplyDeleteSo excited to hear about your upcoming ink!!! I like design B!
ReplyDeleteGive me a B! Love it.
ReplyDeleteEveryone in my house voted for B! Can't wait to try out the new inks and see what other surprises you have in store for us!
ReplyDeleteChris L.
OH EM GEE!! This is so exciting!! I vote for B!
ReplyDeleteI vote for B. "A" detracts too much from what's important... the brand/your name.
ReplyDeleteI like the B choice. I can see that it is from your company easily, and I love the banner also.
ReplyDeleteB is "cute" but I'm afraid the banner might go out of style. A is so timeless. Also I think you are letting the ink speak for itself and I love made in the USA.
ReplyDeleteB - it sells your name!
ReplyDeleteI think B shows who it comes from better. The company name stands out more. :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely think "B" - the ink name and your brand name stand out so much better. "A" is good but you don't know where to look/read first - your eye is drawn to the graphic but that does not define your product.
ReplyDeleteB hands down. The design is crisp, clean, memorable (which is what all good advertising strives to be), and the banner will not go out of style: it hasn't in several thousand years so why worry about it now?
ReplyDeleteI like them both, but I think I like Design B the best :) How exciting that you're coming out with inks!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! Design B gets my vote! :) Can't wait...
ReplyDeleteI like 'B' with "Pure Color" in the banner. :)
ReplyDeleteI think B is the best! So excited for this!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely B. Branding is important and I had to search for it on design A.
ReplyDeleteI like A, but I think I am going to be outnumbered LOL!
ReplyDeleteinks????!!! yay!!! I cant wait!!!
ReplyDeleteas far as design...well thats a hard one...i like "B" because the company logo stands out, its nice and clean, but then again I really like "A" too because of it's edginess and spunk!
how about a combo! well i guess i'm not much help :) :) either way Dawn I look forward to purchasing more of your amazing products!
I like B. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove both, but B probably speaks to me a bit more. Congrats with the new addition to the W+9 stable.
ReplyDeleteI like B! They're both great, but I think B really works too perfectly with your logos!
ReplyDeleteI'd say B, just because it is more similar to your logo, so that people can quickly make the connection when seeing them that they are Wplus9 products =)
ReplyDeleteI would have to say B, its more fun and modern looking and it goes along with your logo and badge better then the other one!
ReplyDeleteB is the cleaner of the 2 and the brand name is more noticeable but I think A would stand out more on shelves in stores as the different design with the off the edge circles draws the eye in first. So I would say it depends on what you're trying to do with them.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is exciting. I'm counting down the days to your next release :)
ReplyDeleteB gets my vote!
B for sure.
ReplyDeleteI like both designs, but I think A is more cutting edge. I know B says your name better, but I think A says design better.
ReplyDeleteoh defintely B as your logo is on it :) x
ReplyDeleteB is the stand out design for me
ReplyDelete"B" is the one that I like the best.
ReplyDeleteTotally lovin' the B design - banners are all the rage, and the design looks so CURRENT and eye-catching! Excited to hear the news of your new ink pads.
ReplyDeleteI like Design B ;)
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI loooove the B
It give a better impact for the eyes
Really good design
Design B has my vote.
ReplyDeleteI like B - it has a clean design and is less busy than A
ReplyDeleteDesign B - clean, crisp, perfect.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely design B, since your brand logo stands out and it just looks more polished.
ReplyDeleteDesign B stands out. However, I noticed the Made in the USA isn't on design B and that is kind of cool that it is made here!
ReplyDeletei hope you will choose B, it is a great design, my eyes were immediately catched by the clearly design!
ReplyDeletedefinitely B.
ReplyDeleteB for me!
ReplyDeleteB. Logo is bigger, product name is bigger too. Don't hide your identity! You've earned your reputation, now flaunt it!
ReplyDeleteA lot of work in counting all these votes, hi hi! But I do think I see more B's and that would definitely be my choice as well, love the graphics there and it also shows your company name better and that's something to be proud of as well!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Wendy
Oh fun little game :)...I choose B! Very clear and professional!
ReplyDeleteI love Design B!
ReplyDeleteI like B a lot!
ReplyDeleteB! :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try out the new inks!
I love A!!!! It's original and really eye-catching! B seems more staid/traditional (read: boring!).
ReplyDeletemy eye went immediately to B.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletethe design on B is like a main TV station in Australia. So when I look at B all I think about is TV, not ink. I like the A ☺
ReplyDeletehave a look here http://channelnine.ninemsn.com.au/
I really like "B" because right away I can tell it is your product!
ReplyDeleteI like B the best.
ReplyDeleteDesign B jumped out at me the most. They are both great though!
ReplyDeleteI love A. It's so new and trendy. B is too "predictable".
ReplyDeleteB is predictable -- I gotta go with A! But either way, I am jumping up and down with joy to hear about Wplus9 ink!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely B! It looks great.
ReplyDeleteI love B design
ReplyDeleteI prefer A, but the company name is not visible enough. While B is cleaner and more visibly Wplus9, that double ended banner is a little too trendy to work over the long haul...
ReplyDeleteB - I might be too late to vote though!
ReplyDeleteI like B MUCH better, neater, more symmetrical, I am big on symmetry. PSYCHED to hear you are getting INKS - YEAH!
ReplyDeleteLove the clean, modern look of B. (Matches your "style" of stamps, if you ask me.) But I'll buy them, either way!
ReplyDeleteI like B better. It showcases your name MUCH more prominently.
ReplyDeleteOooh fun. I'll play!
ReplyDeleteI like both, too. B is definitely the "safer" route. I like A, except for the fact that the brand/logo is not as distinct or apparent.
Looks like majority like B though... Either way, I'm buying me some ink! Lol
Definitively B :)
ReplyDeleteB gets my VOTE!! =) THANKS for sharing!! How EXCITING!! Have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
ReplyDeleteI like A...but make the company name bigger.
ReplyDeleteB hands down. Appeals more to my balanced nature.
ReplyDeleteI personally like A better, but B better showcases your name.
ReplyDeleteI would vote B. You recognize the company name immediately and the Pure Color brand with the type of ink pad marked clearly underneath. I think it stand out better overall.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the second one, B!
ReplyDelete"A" looks more arresting so it warrants a second look (or a third, so on..) so my vote's for it (but maybe you can make the other fonts bigger, too, so the company name stands out more..?)
ReplyDelete
