Hi all;

I'm looking to launch a range of Beard, Balms, Oils and Waxes early 2015 & need some graphics made up accordingly which will serve as sales media/product labels.

I have some ideas for the media but I would of course allow for artistic license also.

As per title, Payment & products offered if you rock a beard!

If your in the GD trade or handy with Photoshop etc please, please get in touch.

Chris

This is something I am still somewhat undecided upon..

I'm leaning toward:

Man Up

Bespoke beard balm & Elixir



 -in my head, with the right media it will work, without it - it will suck! haha

Man up is good

Thanks, Im thinking of something quite simply, IE a Bright Pink circle with MAN UP going diagonally through it in a bold italic...

Simple, yet the pink will raise some controversy over what the words are actually saying.

Just need someone who wants the job now :)   :happy2: :happy2:

My design skills aren't great, but being a hirsute gentleman, I will watch with interest.

All the best in the new endeavour and keep us informed.

Hmm, I feel flattered to be tagged for this but would need to assess whether what I can or can't offer would be of help or not.

Let me give this some thought and then if we both think I can help we can exchange emails and take it further.

I am out all day from dawn til dusk tomorrow, hunting wild Owls with my camera - I have a friend with expert local knowledge.

Sounds like my kind of day out!
Ok perfect no pressure but I would certainly be keen to discuss further if you are interested.
All the best.

And thanks everyone for the help and wishes :)

Hi Chris,

Having given this some thought I'm going to say no to this. Also my heart wouldn't be in it because I really dislike beards!

As I'm sure you already know, there is a lot of beard product on the market to compete with. So you need to ask yourself what makes your products so different and so much better, and then promote that difference.

Brand name is very important. Personally I like how Bearded Stag promote themselves. You are going to need a designer who can create a website for you and also invest in some professional photography. Hopefully you have raised enough startup finance to create and promote your products.

Thanks and I wish you all the best.

Thanks Robin not a problem at all. If I'm honest I'm not trying to develop a ground breaking brand as I already have demand for the product in the barbershop I work in, I simply want to introduce the product and take advantage of it. :)

Many thanks for the advice and wishes
