Dynasty Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 For being used as a small label on a water bottle, the old one did have too much going on, but I was a fan of the naturist/outdoor design. New one is fine for its simplicity, but isn't as attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianoknight Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I read the title as "Deer Water Park" and thought this was about log flumes and water slides. Now I'm sad. 5th in NAT.

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 This is an upgrade solely on the basis of getting rid of that unattractive negative arch in the word "Deer". (The cute little business on the right leg of the R in "Park" is a bonus.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see I wasn’t the only one who misread that. The new label is fine, certainly cleaner. But there’s just something about slapping an entire Bob Ross painting onto a tiny label that I enjoy in water bottle design. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

It's not like the natural spring just appeared in 1873. Your company that creates plastic casing for it did. That's a little less interesting...

You generally shouldn't put much stock into any sort of establishment year, they are often fudged to make the company seem older or more prominent than they really are.

BadSeed84 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Then again, looking at their logo in 2001, they used to be pretty simple too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I like about that one is not only the straightforward lettering, but also the deer. It is rendered as a simple 2-D symbol, with no attempt to be a realistic drawing. So that's another reason that the current change is an upgrade: the depiction of the deer has taken a step towards the symbolic and away from showing excessive realistic detail. If it went all the way back to the symbol seen on this bottle, that would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the symbolic deer on this has a head that seems to be attached to its body at a weird angle . . . at least in my opinion.
