Nice job Agentaaron! Consistency is key and you did a great job with the overall template. I think the bright yellow could be more mellow, less green tint to it. I think it would blend better with your various designs.

for the latest batch of Unicorn Blood.

Bottling this tonight

My first attempt at a label and logo for my brewery. Pretty simple for now as I am not that good at graphic design. Critique it, I wanna know what you guys think!

Finished the label for my BDSA which is a good thing since I bottled it today!

I really like it! I don't think you need to change anything but since you asked for a critique... The only critique I really have for it is about the hop cones. They look a little out of place to me but I like the idea of having them somewhere in the label, maybe inside the triangle? I don't know, I'm not an expert graphic artist or anything.

Thank you for the feedback, this was my first time working with illustrator so it's good to get positive comments. I'm with you on the hop cones. I knew I wanted to incorporate them somewhere because I love hops but didn't know where to put them. Maybe take them out of the logo and incorporate them into the brew name instead?

How about this? The color of the hops didn't come across correctly on the web, they are much duller and blend well with the rest of the label. They're too brightly colored in the browser, dang HTML colors...

Not so good like that. I like where sstapley_56 ended up putting them.

I think it might work somewhere in the triangle, it would be great to incorporate hops somewhere inside the brewery logo. However I'm not really feeling the location or the angle they're set on inside the triangle. Maybe I'll play with it a little more when I get some time. I've already printed off the labels using the second rendition, I like the way it's looking, can't wait to see what they look like on a bottle, bottling day on Sunday!

You could lower the opacity of the hop, make it larger, and put it behind your "Gold Dust IPA" text (and all future beer styles). You've got a lot of individual elements placed around, which can be very difficult to combine into a cohesive design (at least 5 different fonts, logo, name, descriptive text, hops, etc...). I think you've done a good job of it, and maybe the hop needs to be a little less obtrusive and fade into the background a bit.

I think you need 3 hops not one.

A few I've been working on...

Ya that's a pro label. Really good job!

There are some pretty impressive labels here; I hope mine live up to the high standard. Here are a few of my favorites:

Love the Iron Maiden influence on the last one :rockin:

Ive been wanting to come up with a simplistic label template. Took my inspiration from wine bottle formats. Both me and my daughter are aries so I figured this would go good. Not sure which one I like better though, Let me know what you think.

I like the tan one better.

I realize you didn't ask for this, and I am in no way trying to offend you or say I don't like your label, but I made a digitized version of your drawing. If you don't like it no worries but it was easy for me to do. I hope I didn't step on your toes.

Sweet. We wax capped all ours last year and uses way too much. It is quite a ***** to cut through it! But those look great.

A few more for the thread...

Good label work everyone, keep it up!

Here's one I made for when I brew my wheat IPA. Probably wont keep the barcode, just wasn't sure what else to put there haha. Drew the skeleton guy using alchemy and photoshop.

One more I finished today. A verbal and visual pun, yay!

Hahaha! I love Bruthulhu

My latest two...
