Fightin' Monkey Label

This is the first label I've actually put some time into... whatcha think?

That looks ridiculous! Just kidding , I think that is one awesome logo, especially the monkey "coin" at the bottom. Should get some sort of freebie out of it on the BYO label contest!

pretty damn cool. did u use gimp or something else?

photoshop for the battle-monkey, some illustrator, then some nice expensive packaging software ... i work in a prepress department.

ah! membership has it's perks :~)

oh, and ian drew the monkey token thing at the bottom. i might have added fangs.

That's cool. I especially like the "battle monkey"...scary looking critter!

How about a morning star on the tail?

I would buy that beer merely for the label. Excellent.

Minor criticism:
Can you make the axe stick out past the oval frame a bit more? also have the tail overlap the frame.

Yeah, those were my top criticisms, too. I'll probably do that.

Oh, and it's good beer, too. Only my 5th batch, but definately the best of those. It got me even more excited about homebrewing.

If I saw something like that at my local liquor store, I'd pick it up. That is totally cool.

What does it say on the coin? Or is that just design?

It's just a design, kind of like ridges around a coin.

Very nice.

Ian is right, some of you guys need to submit those to the BYO label contest coming up soon.

I'm sure the fine looking honey apricot chick would win something nice too.

Orrelse, I dunno if what you wanna give her is such a prize.

I like it. For a more comedic label you could use "Furious George" from the Simpsons.

I love it- My AIM icon is actually the wild monkey animated gif...

I hope there's no rules against reincarnating aged threads. If so, I apologize, but I'm new to homebrewing and this site so I've been scouring through trying to learn.


Since I know not so much yet about brewing, but am somewhat computer abled, I decided to start working on a label for my first batch. I won't be able to start until December (when it has cooled down considerably and I will have time between now and then to gather the necessary equipment).

Anyway, I want to use the monkey from that "Furious George" Simpson's episode. So, I'm breaking out Photoshop and starting on it. (That way I'll have to follow through and brew a beer to proudly wear it!) When I get it done I'll post a new thread with it. Of course it may undergo adaptation depending on the type of beer I brew (yay for layers in Photoshop!)

just a minor bit too:

I would say, use a sword instead of an axe? Just a thought

I like it a lot! I agree with the idea of letting the monkey overlap the oval a bit more, though.

Where did you get the idea?
