Interesting but the words "candle collection" are too small and the bees aren't as crazy as we are picturing them in our mind. We do like the ribbon and hope you will submit another design.

Nice option. The bees hands look like they're turned in odd directions. Could we see the letters for "Crazy Bees" a little "thicker"? The candle reminds us too much of a birthday cake, not sure what to suggest about that. Our candles are in round, silver tins (if that helps you). And they are decorated on top. Love the colored eyes on the bees, one of us has blue eyes, one of us has green. Since we are both sensitive about our weight :blush:, can you make us both the same size?:cool:

HI Deanna, we like the revisions you made to the bee size. Can you change their hands so they are open toward the candle? Not really crazy about the wax in their hands. Also, the candle still reminds us of a birthday cake. All of our candles have embellishments on the top...so even if you could put some items on the top of the candles to show their decorated, that would probably make them look more like our product. For instance, we have candles called "Blueberry", that have blueberries on the top, "Melon Mist", with melon slices, "Hot Baked Apple Pie", apple slices, etc. Like the tin, could it possibly be more silver? Thanks so much! Looking forward to closing this out. We have to have the final product and files by Monday evening.
