Show Us Your Label

Not sure if I am satisfied with it yet, but here it is as it stands now...

I redid my logo and really got into using inkscape and free vectors.

Did some updating to our label, added some color.

I like them both, but i think the black and white was a little better. Either way, I think the mushroom addition was nice.

Can you tell me where you make these up...they are all very nicely done and I have a concept, but I just need to know where to go and start the process. Thanks...

Gimp or Photoshop are the usual programs.

I use inkscape off of the suggestions of other users on this board.
It is free just like Gimp.

Here's the label for my Honey Wheat. It's my first attempt at a label.

This is what we brewed most recently, so I'll post this label:

Two of my latest...





And before anyone shouts "racism", my wife is 1/4 Cherokee, and the IPA was brewed in a pail. So there...

I think they are pretty cool.

I've been debating on doing a Black IPA and calling it

"Mandingo"
Black IPA

Just my first stabs at making my own labels... I got some ideas from what others have posted, and tried to make something decent for these brews. The English Brown Ale was brewed last night...





Not yet bottled, still sitting on the oak cubes. Been there for 2 weeks so far.

That is staggeringly ignorant.

That's why I won't do it.
Not based off of the books but off the movie, but it did not seem like a good idea.

just bottled and labeled my smoked baltic oatmeal porter with espresso and vanilla bean. extremely minimal label for a complex brew
It's a blend of a 1.090 espresso smoked porter, a 1.060 lager'd smoked porter with lager yeast portion, and a 1.060 trappist ale yeast smoked porter version with vanilla bean.

Cheers!
Dave

Simple, yes.... but damn great looking. Kudo's to you!

Smokeydave, holy smokes that beer sounds good! And nice "less is more" label- I like it.

My First Label Attempt For My Wheat

Here are a few I made

This is my first try.

Hello green!

Sure is. Will tone down the next one. But it does look good with the brown bottle

I made this one for my Gumball Head Clone using a pic of one of my work colleague. Should have seen the faces on everyone at work after a few of these were handed out!

This is a Black IPA cobbled together from various recipes and adding/switching different malts, is currently in secondary resting on roasted cocao nibs, will dry hop on Monday with Cascade and bottle next Saturday....the regular non-cocao nibbed version is called VooDoo Black IPA...

^Nice vector graphics.

My second batch of Scottish ale, I used the labelizer! my first batch I paid way too much for.
First ones. nice but costly!


The second batch

these are our 6 pack holder graphics


and my first brew


criticism?

were working on a label for "butter cream stout" any suggestions?

my first homebrew & first label...

From left to right: Belsnickle (spiced ale), Horse and Buggy Ale (American ale with honey), Hanziskaner (bavarian weizen), Schnicklefritz (irish stout w/cherries) and Rumspringa (blonde ale with orange blossom honey, corriander and orange zest). Coming soon: Reinheitsgebot (Kolsch using only 4 ingredients).



Hans to go:



brewed by the Hans Fenstermaker Brewing Company, Emmaus, Pa.

For my first brew

I am trying to decide which of the following two labels I like the most. Any suggestions?

Be gentile...

I just used Microsoft Word over lunch. I was bored.

I made this one real quick to put on some old bottles.

I saw Schnicklefritz and thought to myself, "Now there's a Dutchman". Then I saw where you're from. "Well, that explains it". Your lego guy reminds me of Raymond the Amish Comic. Nice labels, btw.

First draft on the label for a "Brown Pike" (swedish slang för a turd) Belgian dubbel

That's pretty sweet! Just needs words.

I like the one with the light blue gradient background. Just seems cleaner, nicer, and less busy.
