it’s OK, but there’s a little too much goin on. less is more… drop the spikes and go with the blurry jaws.
I don’t care if it’s a plain white bottle! I just want to order it asap!
Simple is better. Less is more. Good general idea but it needs cleaner imagery.
it looks to me like maybe a chicken head with teeth being sucked down into a blender. freaky. alpha male conjures up images of large beasts, not whatever that thing is. maybe lose the knife blades and put an evil eye and more head on the beast.
“Why is there knives coming out of that monkey’s face mommy?” I’m sorry but that’s one of the worst labels i’ve ever seen. While we’re at it, i’m not really a fan of the name either. Kinda sounds like something you would find in the back of a muscle mag with the heading “Does size really matter to her?”. I do like the idea behind the product though.
My first couple of seconds were spent figuring out what it is. Now I can’t help but see it clearly all the time. I like the pic for what it is, but think you guys could come up with a much better logo for the product. I’m one of the last to say that it’s too gory/twisted/disturbed or anything of the sort. Frankly I don’t think it even comes close, but I still think a better image would result from different facial angles or even a slightly different animal model. Am not big on the ‘blades’ as well…nice effect, but doesn’t seem to mesh at all. Maybe flames or fog or somethin. Also the “Alpha Male” font is kinda lame with that pic, but are all just my opinions. Keep workin on em.
Would be cool if you guys made a few more that could be viewed and voted on maybe, or have some of us create images that you could use or base ideas from as well. (Of course the winner would recieve at least a free bottle)
But as noted by others, I’d buy it even if the label pictured cartoon spandex wearing Teletubbies walking on treadmills and sipping Slimfast while watching Oprah and listenin to Brittany Spears under rainbow skies of blue in the middle of a soy field …but that’s just me.
Doesn’t really matter whats on the outside of the bottle to people “in the know”, but I recommend keepin it edgy enough that it’ll still turn heads for people that haven’t seen or heard about it. In other words, don’t tone it down any, just try a few different pics first.
…and chalk me up for a bottle after you guys decide.
don’t really get it.
I think a jacked up pic of the Red Kat head original with the body of the current Tribex figure body would be cooler.
My first reaction: kinda cool
After reading all the whiney assed too this or that comments: I like it even better.
Nice job.
Not sure what to make of it…
Although, you could slap a skull and crossbones on the bottle and I think we’d still be lined up to buy it.
I’m an art director and work designing packaging for the pharmaceutical industry so this is familiar territory. I get where your designers idea is going using a baboons mouth. Generally, the strongest baboon in the group is usually referred to as the Alpha Male.
OK great. But the image is a little hard to look at. The metallic knives do nothing for the image. It almost looks like the thought process was “what cool, manly looking, intimidating object can we put in here to make the image rock” and while I’m all for adding flash to a design, there should be a purpose to it. It tells me nothing about the product. The blades look like an after thought. The title of the product should be a little more prominent than it is, and perhaps in a stronger typeface, and if yellow is going to be the color of the type, don’t use a muted yellow, use a strong yellow like PMS 102 or 109 (your designer will know what that means), especially if the rest of the label will be black. If possible try to have the label fit into the look of your other products. The packaging for Hot Rox was very good, It was striking and clean. This will help further solidify your brand identity.
I don’t like it. Looks like a fly with fangs! When I think of Alpha Male, I think of the leader of the pack…the biggest, strongest dog/wolf. Maybe a siloutte of a muscular wolf on top of a hill/mountain! King of the hill, top dog, etc…
In Faith,

I also agree with ThumperTX—“There can be only one” is probably pushing the copyright infringement thing a bit. Regardless of legality it’s still been done. Biotest is all about innovation. You guys can come up with your own catch phrase—one that hasn’t been done before. I know you guys wanted us to focus just on the picture, but you’ve opened up a whole can of worms here. Once you ask us our opinion—it’s all over. 'Aint the T-Nation great?! Hehe.
My first thought: “T-Mag graphic design crew is awesome! This is a cool pic, but seems a little abstract for a supp. logo.”
Second thought: “Are those Wolverine’s claws in the background?”
When I think of alpha male, that does not come to mind. It looks like a horror movie. Needs more of a “alpha male” image, something that represents a macho T-booster.
Freaky, hey put this at gnc, all the kids would buy it.
I dont like it…
You cant tell wtf is THAT, although I can tell you it wont let me sleep tonight. Damn, the image comes to my mind every time I close my eyes!
Not big on it. Like the blade looking thingies in the background tho.
sweet label… can i get a shirt with that on it? thats something i would proudly wear!
beef
Looks like an ad for a video game. I would go with something more simple, like the Red Kat design. The label don’t matter to me. I’ll still try it.
