Also, just a thought...what about moving the QR code on the back label? Maybe replace the bottom spade with the QR code. Something about its current location just seems a bit off. Also, the bottom spades should be upside down, I think. Most playing cards do it that way. Otherwise, great!

Yeah, I was having trouble finding a nice resting spot for the code. And you're totally right about the upside down spade, going to make those changes this weekend. . . Thanks for the feedback, it is appreciated! :mug:
 
I have no talent and this is my first label, but I thought this was a good idea for a high gravity beer and I like it.

Nice, love the referance. Kind of surprised that I got it, haha.

Thanks. I searched but didn't find the reference in any other beer names. That surprised me given the doctor's description of the changes in Gage:

The equilibrium or balance, so to speak, between his intellectual faculties and animal propensities, seems to have been destroyed. He is fitful, irreverent, indulging at times in the grossest profanity (which was not previously his custom), manifesting but little deference for his fellows, impatient of restraint or advice when it conflicts with his desires, at times pertinaciously obstinate, yet capricious and vacillating, devising many plans of future operations, which are no sooner arranged than they are abandoned in turn for others appearing more feasible. A child in his intellectual capacity and manifestations, he has the animal passions of a strong man. Previous to his injury, although untrained in the schools, he possessed a well-balanced mind, and was looked upon by those who knew him as a shrewd, smart businessman, very energetic and persistent in executing all his plans of operation. In this regard his mind was radically changed, so decidedly that his friends and acquaintances said he was "no longer Gage."[11]


Seems perfect for a high gravity beer to me! ;)
 
When I saw the image I was definitely thinking "Impaled Pale Ale". But I'm sure it's already been done many times.
 
Threw this together real quick for a hefeweizen I'm brewing tomorrow. Got the idea from a t-shirt. Of course, on the shirt it was spelled "WISE"
Plan on putting the tasting notes on the right when it's ready.

How do you get those rays with the gradient? I've seen lots of labels that incorporate some sort of lines or rays coming from the center (usually they're straight...I like that yours are wavy) and I'm descent with Photoshop but don't know how to make them? Is it an Illustrator thing?
 
Here are my latest. Printed on a tan paper with a color laser on reduced ink usage. I've tried a few different approaches but I like this one the best so far due to the least amount of investment and hassle. I kind of like the rustic label look and will likely stick with it as it lets me get away with less ink and cheap paper.

Affixed with milk.

Wow, lots of really cool labels in here!

Here is one my mom made up for me as a Christmas gift several years ago. I was heavy into motorcycle racing back then so she put a picture of me on the label. This was a pretty cool surprise.

That's a great label Coiz; fantastic composition.

sroberts- I really like yours too. And I think the minimal ink, letting some paper show through, kind of style can really work well sometimes.
 
here are my first three

Made my Belgian Saison and jacked it up a bit making it ridiculously strong for the style. Oh well...makes for a good night cap!

Also got the label done for the Kolsch I made for the wife.

These are the wedding brews I did a couple of months ago.

Top notch, as always. Well done. I bet they were well received by all!

I'm assuming Brad & Jenny got married...did you blend the two and see how that tasted?

Here's what I came up with. A buddy of mine did the art, I put it all together...

Those are sweet, but does anyone else "see something" in the design?
