Default First few attempts at labels

So the majority of these are pretty much thrown together by me. The logo is designed by natron008

The logo

Apfelwein back label

Apfelwein front label

My Oatmeal stout

Quickly thrown together logo for the 999 Barleywine

The logo that was made for me is great, the labels are rather quickly done.

For the labels I used photoshop. I'm not sure what software natron008 used for the logo. The images are blatantly stolen from the web.

I think the apfelwein logo should not be labeled as brewed on, more like bottled on. I like the labels. I'm new to the label making also, however my first label did win me 25$ but i would contribute that to

Good stuff bro....the Black Pearl Porter label is one of the best labels I have seen by anyone on here.

Thanks Revvy and Baumgartner! The labels are really nice when giving away homebrew. I don't have to give some sort cypher sheet with each to know what the codes on the bottle caps mean.

I like the label Baumgartner, very good concept.

I actually really like the first image you posted, just the oval with the guy holding the musket. I would just use that for each label, but change the colors/text for each different type of beer. Good stuff!

Does the logo with the man standing have 3 faces in the mountain. I love it when there are very secretive messages hidden on label. Like the masons. It makes me feel smart.
Like when your a kid and you find a new short cut home.
