Liking 2 and 3 the most :up:
What about #3 with #2's colors?
I like third, 1st and 2nd has doubled M (Mm) in the beginning
#1 seems most professional
#3 is 2nd choice.....
#2 looks commercialy most..
p.s. I want muh colors! *hint *hint
#1 is best by a LOOOOOOONNNNGGGGG way, although it isn't perfect. I'm not sure how well it will translate to B&W since you use gradients to give depth. It could use some AA on the drop. The big M is much too wide. All of the type could use an increase in weight. I would kern the S in Mayhems closer to the D in dye. The relationship of the M and the D feels odd.
The gradient on 2 is awful as is the type. The type isn't nearly rigid enough, it has far too many rounded edges and the thicks and thins don't work well. You are using a display type for text type purposes which is a big no-no. The design will never translate in B&W or even with poor quality as the drop will disappear. You could fix that by adding a white outline to the drop. I do like the green text contrast with the blue though; again not something that will work in B&W.
#3 Doesn't have the drop which I feel adds a lot. I think it would be cool to turn the D into a drop, shouldn't be hard at all and could reduce the overall footprint if you connect it to the M. The kerning is not consistent on the type, the H and E are especially dense compared to the Y and the H. I know Y can be tricky to kern though. Again, too much space between the S and D. The alignment of the type and the bug (MD) is off. The type doesn't line up with the gap in the D by about 1 px. It might also be off because the type isn't quite crisp enough. I don't like the type at all. It is a display type first of all. It really doesn't seem appropriate.
Some general things is that all of these designs have a poor footprint. Lots of wasted space, especially in #1 and #2. Shouldn't it be Mayhem's and not Mayhems? Alright, that is all I can see in my tired state.
The M and D would be considered a bug and the type would be the type treatment. You aren't supposed to read the bug it is mainly just there for illustrative and identification purposes. The M and the D of the bug doesn't make it any harder to read imo.Quote:

I dont like no2 and no 1 needs work and im humming and haring on no 3 ..
Honestly i think the logo in your avatar (and on your current bottles) has a lot more visual identity to it. Otherwise the 3rd might be not too bad but clearly lacks identity (the water drop would be good)...
thks gmat i personly have never liked my own logo hence iw realy dont think it has what id consider the edge to it.
Any way some thing that just came out my test cubord today after a few weeks of work and well this pics dont do it justice but here we go any way

This is how far i have got with the colour changing dye.
Sorry about the bad pics but its not easy taking a photo like this and as my hand moves arround the test tube it changes the colour and i want to do it to a certain spot. This is from cold to hand warm black, blue to green to red when its gets hot but since im heating platic i cannot do that to much.
How ever this is the real bad news for you guys. I can Never sell this stuff or give it out in its present form. Becuase its a danger to the envirment and i have to dispose of the peroperly. i.e in a chem container and through chemical waist.
But on the other hand while ive been playing with this stuff i added this to some plastic and well it seems to work quite well. So it would be possable to do this to tubing (with a better effect) than it would to liquid. 0_o how ever i cannot go no further at the moment in deving this as to have tubing made up is way out of my legue atm Cost wise.
any way this is a heated test tube with the same mix in a none heated test tube. you can see the colour change happening.

That looks good in your hand but would you also see colour change in a loop?Quote:

Well now ive got the mix corrct wich has taken way to long lol. ill be testing it in a loop over the next few weeks to see how it goes. I dont think this is a viable option for large sales though more of a "can it be done and will it work" experment.
Ive allready been playing and out of the rad its black and out of the GPU / CPU its vairing colours. how ever youll need good liging to see its effect. But again though long term testing is needed to see 1) if it works , 2) if it clogs, 3) can it be improved apon properly ect ect
Yeah, this is my profession which I have been into for about 7 years or so.Quote:

I like the child safty cap my self as the pre mix is good looking to kids and to be honist i think a child safty cap should be fitted.
mlwood37, I received my mix kit the other day and just wanted to say thank you for the fast international shipping. I am tearing down my loop for some mods this weekend and will post some pics :)
Your welcome. i do try and send every thing out as fast as possble how ever some times customes likes to tinker and delay the items sent. Weve found this a few times.Quote:

Yeh that what i was planning on . ive orderd 2a / 2b so ill be selling them with the child safey cap and the spout so that it can easly be pourd through small fill holes.Quote:

Is it possible to have an UV red that doesn't stain or gunk up the blocks?
Thanks.
check you PMs. there is no such thing as a real good UV red. How ever all dyes stain as well sorry to say you cannot avoid this ever.
No dyes block you system its Inhibitor that does and its normaly a bad mix of Dye / Biocide / Inhibitor that cause build up not just a single componant.
Allso has any one noriced fading of the dyes with in there system who is running nickle plated blocks ...
Thanks, does UV clear stain or is it just the coloured dyes that stain?
Today's word is Dye. ;)

i will like to have a brigh red , and i know it will fade away with time , but like how long would it take u guys know?.
Or should i just pick some color hose ?
Interesting. I'm running your candy red + biocide in a mostly nickel loop... i'll get back to you if i notice something. How long would it take to start fading ?Quote:

So I need to see if its happening with any one else.
this is a pic of the system

So i need to know if this is happning with any one else so that we can eleimate this problem.
Like i say though i have seen this my self with strong biocide (wich we fixed) and it some thing i can repaet over and over again.... but ive not seen it happen in any of my systems that are running these colours on normal biocide.
