[...] looking for your feedback. Does this eye patch look better than the the original? I left the sides of the label off, so disregard that. We are just looking at the actual eye patch [...]

[...] maybe you’re right. There are many comments proclaiming the awkwardness of the eye patch in our new label mockup, which I guess is what happens [...]

I agree that the eye patch looks a little awkward. The band should be more in the middle of the patch and not aligned with the top. Other than that it looks awesome…good job.

Well done, Jonathan. One suggestion: define just what sort of sensibilities a pirate uses to balance a beer. Rogue sensibilities, perhaps? Devil-may-care sensibilities?

Also, while the Mark Twain quote is truly classic, you might consider a contemporary variation. I’m sure that kidnapped sea captain in Somalia has some zingers, like, “Thanks, Navy Seals, for shooting those pirates in the head for me.”

Thanks for the comments, guys.

Seth: Amazing idea. I’m going to see if I can’t work it in. You have a way with words, in much the same way that you have a way with women.

Nate/Rachel: The eye patch was added to the photo that the logo is based on so that we got it directly over the eye. Nate, I completely understand where you are coming from with the “looking at the camera” comment, but I think we will keep him looking at the camera just so we can have some consistency from label to label. The core “dude with a suit and loose tie” won’t be changing, just his accouterments. I will revisit the awkwardness though ? I think if I made it round closer to the corners of his head that could help.

I agree with Nate, the eyepatch is a little awkward.
