I like what you've done. I think the style of #98 and #95 will be best for making sure the bar code is readable. Also, if you win, the bar code cannot be simply colour inverted. But we can fix that when we get to it.
jekson - I may not choose your design for this contest, but i will probably be back in touch about buying design(s) for a future label. I think I will get more free press wit the integrated barcode warning symbol #117.
