Narin, confident is spelt without an 'a'
Okay, back onto the topic - you should get the manufacturers give you a free batch when you're done with the design,
So you can literally send out samplers to us designers, not to swallow- of course, just to stare at it with a magnifying glass and think to themselves- how it is beautifully designed by you.

If it's one of those boner drugs, the logo possibilities are bell-endless.

ok...ill dig up a bunch of logo specs for you to get a better realm of what embossing manufactures look for.
being details is the key. make sure your illy is readible by even people who arent the manufactures namely the "client"

yeah, you don't want to get into an "is that an alien or a freaky broccoli?" type situation.
especially bad while munching said.

Aren't pills cast or pressed(hydroformed) to avoid counterfeiting and relabeling?

epill - I've sent you an email.
Pills are indeed pressed. I'm supposed to be designing the bit that pushes into the 'clay'.
I will be sending sample designs over, I just want to pre-empt any problems - there'll be quite a lead time in sending files over and receiving the physical item back, and I imagine the sample press milling will be a touch expensive, so ideally I want to get this right first round.
Ravi - What would possess someone to point out a single spelling mistake? Every designer I've ever known has god-awful spelling - something to do with thinking phonetically, in 'visual' terms, I felt.
I thought I was doing alright! :(

(my spelling's usually passable as I'm not a very good designer :)

Nairn...ill help with what i can.
spelling mistakes are how we nters separtate ourseffs from all them other designers.

Thanks epill - if you've designed wee buttons, any input you have will be useful I'm sure!
(one thing, I appreciate that I'll have to reverse the design, once [/if] it's finished! ;)

Nairn is not spelled Narin either, one might add
- edd-e0
didnt get the email yet..
you sent it?
- Nairn0
Hmm.. I've resent from my gmail account. If you've a strict email filter, it might be that my putting 'pill' in the original subject line has red-flagged it as spam.
Or more likely, my mail server's a bit shit (which it has been this week). Thanks again!

;)

A bit of background - it's for a legal high pill, ostensibly bracketed as some love drug, but in actuality just a fuck-off strong stimulant a la speed.

Hey epill - I'd also welcome any thoughts you have on the on-package version too, if you don't mind.
The version I've sent over is a little low-contrast, which needs fixing and the glitzy embellishment still needs some tinkering (ie. reduction!)

Nairn...i sent you an email with 3 attachments of embossing examples for manufacturing hardware.
dont hesitate to ask me any questions regarding its nature, ill try to help how ever i can.
