  1. I like the bold rather than the regular. keeps the focal point at an even balance

  2. I like that typeface. I thought that was Japanese letters(kikiyu).

  3. Yeah, I like the bold one too, but I made the lighter weight to make contrast with the bold icon. Really need another typeface for the other text though. Please let me know if you have any leads to a typeface that would go well with my sans. Thank you!

  4. What's the product? It's hard for me to comment on the relevance of the design without knowing what the product or packaging is.

    Also go with the regular weight typeface just track it out a bit. Also watch the kerning between 'i' and the 'y' it looks like [kiki yu].

  5. its a bit flat in this context, but i am assuming you will be using finishes and printing techniques.

    i prefer the lighter version.

    perhaps a complimentary color rather than making the whole design monochromatic.

    its hard with a product like this which doesnt describe the benefits of its use. i think there needs to be something on the face that alludes to its purpose. i do like the minimal look, but i wont buy it unless i know what it is. a bath salt treatment... as a designer how do you communicate that in such a small space without being literal?

  6. I also can't recall what the product is but i enjoy the simplicity and color scheme you got goin'. 'Gonna have to agree with corey on the typeface as well.

  7. Honestly when I took my first glance I thought the big K was a table, and if I kept going and reading the text vertically I thought 'kikiyu' was in a foreign language. You might want to keep looking at other unique typefaces or maybe try laying the name horizontally. Your color palette reminds me of CMYK and I don't know if that's what you were going for.
