Nuka Cola poster

Yesterday i decided to take a shot at doing some Photoshop work involving Fallout. I decided to use some vintage elements and cook up a poster advertising Nuka-Cola. I've already uploaded the image to NMA, but until it's available, here is a link to it:

Nice. But maybe you should do something more with the letter N in Nuka, you know, give it a similar curl like the C in Cola. Just a thought. That's all I can remark (except for the lay-out, maybe, it's a bit empty in the middle...).

Ah nevermind, it's nice, really, I wouldn't be able to do it.

No, no, you're right.

I also think the 'N' could be curlier. There's also an awful amount of free space in the middle. I was thinking of maybe adding a sentence, or somesuch, something in the vein of the timeline.

Thanks for the feedback :)
 
Or another image, such as a happy boy drinking it, and a thermonuclear explosion in his belly.
 
Looks great.. but the line in bottom isn´t very good "..the Nuke That Refreshes" - it simply makes little sense.
 
seems so empty and yes that "the nuke that refreshes" is somewhat silly. a nuke would kill you not refresh you. maybe "Good to the last glowing drop" or "Glowing goodness"? (if its nuke cola whynot make it look radioactive :P)

The line is an attempt to ply on consumers' knowledge of the world. Isn't Nuka Cola's name based on nukes, and an attempt itself to get recognition based on the knowledge of nuclear power at the time? Also, the idea of calling it a nuke comes from an attempt to basically create a relevant product name based on the main brand. Nuka was the main brand name, and as such 'nuke' would be a fitting name for the product that's directly based on it.

And yes, a nuke would kill me, not refresh me. That's why it says its a nuke that refreshes, unlike a nuke that kills.
 
Good work.
Did you do the curly font yourself or you got it from somewhere?
 
Thanks :)

As for the font, I got it from somewhere else. I was trying to do it myself based on the Coca-Cola logo, but i was more interested in doing the effects rather than the font, so i decided to cut some work out for me and try to find it. Luckilly, i found it :)
 
Do you have a link to the font?

Overall, it's very good, did a good job of replicating a painting on brick. The one things that irks me is the black outline around the Nuka-Cola bottle, it doesn't really fit in (at least to my eye).

The motto also needs a bit of work, doesn't make much sense or really sound like a marketing slogan. Perhaps something along the lines of "Be nuclear powered!" Perhaps you also limit the exclamation mark to only one.
 
The font is called Loki Cola, and it can be found either here or here.

As for the rest of the feedback, good point, i may do something about the black outline. Maybe fade it or remove it entirely.

Or a cut away diagram of it, with a nuke going off in the stomach and somehting like "Fills your belly with nuclear power!" or similar (yeah, I know that needs work! :)).
