Show Us Your Label

OCBrewin said:

My God, I am seriously embarrassed after seeing the quality of labels on this thread. Here is a very rough set of labels for my brewing on demand (BOD) tap handles for my 3 keg garage 5cf keezer.

Basically just to know which one you're pouring.... don't judge... Ok, judge... whatever.

Love the simplicity in labels like this. The Cascadian is the best IMO. The start something font is a bit off for how nice the the top font is. Great layout, maybe just work with the fonts (start something and your IBU, ABV, etc) to make them go better. Nice work!

Here's a more-or-less complete label for my Kölsch. Pretty happy with how it turned out, though I may add a few details to fill in some of the blank space and/or play with the layout of the ABV text.

I've come to enjoy making the labels almost as much as the beer itself. I have an entire shelf dedicated to my bottles.

This wreck sits out in front of my BIL's families beach house. Pretty neat, I love taking pictures of it. ABV and stats will be added before they are printed.

Having a hard time deciding which color scheme I like more... I'm leaning towards the gold. Thoughts? Ideas?

For a forthcoming brew. Two designs, the first of which I prefer.

Dig the two tone!

Just whipped this up for a family reunion beer. The family is fond of fruit beers, and this has been requested way too much over the past few months. Comments and criticism are welcome.



Also, thanks for the vote of confidence Genjin!

+1 for the gold.

This is a label I made for a Russian Imperial Stout that I just bottled.

It's easier to read at full resolution. The quote next to Drago says "I will crush you!".

I. Love. This.



Wish I had thought of it myself.

You could also have put your old Mayor in there. That would've been funny.

No, I'm actually from Pennsylvania, but very interested in and passionate about the ancient Nordic culture.

Hmm, I've only completed three batches, but here they are:


The Falconsgate Trippel was a clone of Maredsous Triple Belgian.
The Falconsgate Tripel Was a modification on the above recipe.
The Falconsgate Fat Pat, was my first personal recipe, a stout initially brewed on 17 March, 2012.

I think your main logo pops more with the blue background. Really like the blue

Hey thanks man, Im a photographer by trade so I figure why not incorporate my two passions.

Thanks, the barley stalks on the sides really do stand out more on the blue.

Arrrggghhh... I hate not being able to make up my mind, lol.

And speaking of not being able to make up my mind:

Purple is quite the royal color:


But if art school taught me anything, "just make it red" is a perfectly acceptable solution to any problem:

I like the purple. Makes me think "pimp suit" when viewing with the Rolls.

My first label I've done. Used AutoCad, so it isn't as nice as most of these in thus thread. Haha



On the bottle



Sorry, about the rotated picture.

Here's mine. There's a prison in my suburb so kinda played off that.

I'm lovin all these labels! Here are a few I've worked up:



Just bottled the Nitwit so I'm in the process of attaching labels. Here's a bottle with the label:



I have to say I have about as much fun designing labels as I do brewing beer.

Cheers

Pimp juice if I've ever seen a label for it!

New home brew logo.

Labels look great!

Just a label I am playing around with. I didn't design any of it. I snagged the seal from http://www.says-it.com/seal. I found the laughing silhouette online a while ago and held onto it. Brumbly is my girlfriends nick-name for me. Irish red is the first beer I plan to brew when I get everything up and running.

Threw it all together with a crash course in GIMP and here it is.

I am not quite convinced I like the fleur de lis. I am working on a couple designs to replace it; maybe a knot of some sort. Dunno yet.

I hope you like it.

Hopulence. . . I has it

@rejart

Those are pretty awesome. What label paper are you using?

Thanks. I just printed them out on regular paper with a color laser printer (inkjet won't work for this). Just dip in milk and slap it on.

7 lb LME + 2 lb corn sugar + 2 oz cascade hops + Munich yeast = 2 cases of 7+% ABV beer for under $29.

How doesn't taste? What would you compare it too?

I meant how does it taste....stupid Smartphone!

Add an e at the end to get the international version.



Alc% is just a placeholder, it's fermenting right now.

Cooked this one up for my Saison. Stole inspiration from Great Divide's Colette, not totally sold on my color scheme.

I'll probably switch the yellow to red. IMO

Forgot the brew dates on this one, but oh well. We've already started drinking it, as I'm a bit behind. Can you find the hilarious brew day accident??

Just tweaked these in anticipation of the family reunion in July. Taking both of these along. Hopefully it will be an improvement over using bottles without their labels removed, like last year.





Any comments or criticism is appreciated.

I find that late additions of steel are good for yeast metabolisms.

The only thing I'd change on your label would be to angle the text in the clamp to make it look like it's laying on the same surface the clamp is on. Otherwise, I'm a big fan. Well done!

Loving the Alphonse Mucha-esque illustrations on these. Really diggin' the red one. Great work!
