Same Formula, Different Label

  1. If you REALLY want to make it easy on us, why not put the former name on the label for those that just didn’t happen to stumble upon this article. If I hadn’t read this and went shopping for a formerly purchased product it would mean wasted time online trying to find it under its old name.

    • Unfortunately, we have limited space on the labels to put information. We changed the names of some of the products, to make them more clear, descriptive and easier to understand and hope moving forward it does just that. Thank you for your suggestion. We try to get as much information out to the public as possible. You can always call us at 800-959-6543 with any questions.

        • Hi Susan,

          There is a chart in the article showing the most dramatic name changes. In the case of the products not on this chart, it was simply a case of removing the parenthesis, as in “Regular Gel (Gloss)” became “Regular Gel Gloss”. We hope this is helpful and if you should have further questions, feel free to contact us at help@goldenpaints.com.

  2. Good move. I always wondered about the emphasis on technical names on some of the products- they just sounded pretentious to me. Your new names and labels are easily understandable and don’t require me to switch brain gears to “get”. I just have to know what they do and go to it. I’ve always appreciated Golden’s dedication to how artists work and making products that are responsive to our needs. This is one more thing along the way. Thanks!
