Is that a coded bingo call?

I hope this custom label art doesn't violate the TOU.

In reality this is custom art which clearly denotes "Hombres" a CBL soap fragrance made by @CBLindsay , one of the owners of this fine establishment. It contains a scent, I understand, of the region of this country where @BarberDave has a barbershop of the same name.
I wouldn't expect you to be able to decipher the label without a guide (hence this diatribe), but early in my career I was a highly skilled architectural draftsman. Beautiful lettering was my trade-mark and I earned a good living at it. To this day I use standard gothic lettering for all handwriting; cursive is used for my signature only!! Also beautiful.
In accordance with corporate American management theory clearly espoused in The Peter Principle, I received many promotions until I reached a level of incompetence, unable to perform even the most perfunctory corporate activities other than attending meetings, making coffee, and asking my assistant to complete my weekly timesheet.
This, however, did not seem to be a problem because I was well placed above middle management where I resided for the final 30 years of my career.
YMMV.
no problema at all but I will send you a tub with the real one LOL if ya want@CVargo @BarberDave @CBLindsay

I don't have any favorite examples but I must admit I am continually impressed by how well many of the labels from various artisans are designed. The ones that impress me most are those who are able to create unique art for each scent while also keeping a strong link to the brand (Noble Otter is a good example). I guess I envy those who have the ability to create unique label art over and over again. Some time back I did my first "unique" artwork on a series of scents, with the help of one of our more talented members (no names to protect the innocent) "v" for vetiver was created. The first I did on my own was Iron Throne and then more recently Orion, Dragon's Milk, Hello and Dread Pirate. While I am personally pleased with the results (Orion and Dread Pirate are probably the most creative) it is pretty clear these examples are child's play compared to what many artisans are cranking out.
I have empty bowls and I think I still have original labels for Hombres. Give me your address and I will take care of itYes, please! Please let me know how I can pay you for it!!

I think @Dragonsbeard and his graphic designer have been really on point for their Afrika collection. I like both labels immensely:
Don’t sell yourself short @CBLindsay , I think that “Hello” is one of my favorite labels out there.
Thank you for the encouraging words. My graphic designer and I work well together. I like somewhat simple labels more than real flashy or cartoonish ones. A fun one now and then though is cool.
This is Pinnacle Grooming Fjord. I couldn’t say no to that label [emoji23].
