Default My first label!

This is still a work in progress and I'm just guessing on alcohol content and bottling date and all that of course. My 4 year old son came up with the name.

I know how we all hate to click on links, so here you go!

Also, I like the label, very well done. The one thing that kind of throws is me is how the "dot" for the "i" is off of the image. Maybe move that down? Over all though I like it!

Thanks for the feedback! I was sort of playing with the dot a little bit to sort of give the label a little shape when I cut it out, but I can see what you mean. Actually, I was going to redo those main label letters (the "Martian Matter" ones) before I printed it anyway to turn it into vector graphics so it didn't get all pixelated when printed (as it was shamelessly stolen from the toy's website. Another idea I had was to change the little message on the side a bit to change the second instance of "Sediment" to "Martian Matter".

And I just noticed that the "B" in "Brewing" needs capitalized too! Gah!

Sweet label.

I have to ask where the mars connection comes from. I do research on mars geochemistry.

Version 2:




rustang64,
There really isn't a Mars connection. My (almost) 5 year old son has a toy named "Martian Matter" and on brewing day when a few of us were talking about what to name the beer, he piped up with "You should call it Martian Matter!" and we all sort of looked at each other and said, "Martian Matter Maple... Hey, that's actually not bad at all!" and it stuck.
