Show us your labels

These are absolutely amazing, my favorite has to be the Jesus juice. Although don't get me started on Tebow. That label made me laugh.

Do most of you guys have them professionally designed or do you simply do it yourself? I can tell some are done at home, but some look like they were done by talented graphic designers.

Also, do you guys sell your brew or is it simply a way to decorate bottles that you give to friends/family?

Great job on some of these!

Thanks!! Most of the labels are strictly for home use and gifts. Some of mine are made using tubes purchased online and editing them with gimp. It a free software. Enjoy and feel free to use any that I post.

More awesome labels.

I'm sure having an element of creativity is something that recipients really appreciate.

On a side note, I have used Gimp and for being a free software it is pretty amazing I must say. Not a bad deal for designing labels for your brew. It's tough to beat free.

Keep up the good work

In regards to the Candy Cane Wine.

Awesome looking recipe....... and label.

Here's a label I did for class. What do you guys think?

Love that label!

My name is Calvin but my friends on occasion call me Le Calvon so I figured I'd go with that... So I photoshopped myself up like a french commander. Lol.

I have a few so far. My first was for an Irish Red Ale. I am in IT and love Linux, so the label wrote itself:

My first Jam wine:

My mead label is kind of an inside joke (I work on Ft. Meade):

My first lager was a Heineken clone. For the 12 ounce bottles:

For the 22 ounce bottles:

My apple Riesling label was the second recipe (had to pay homage to the Apple II)

More to come...

nice labels guys, vNmd i think i'd rather be drinking the 12 oz heineclone!! haha

My girlfriend made this one for me and I think it looks amazing. If you look close enough, the padlock is a word lock that has doa printed into it

I have one for Plum wine too....just changed out the bird for a shot of two plums.

Helps to have a Graphic Artist girlfriend at times like these, so I told her to have fun with it especially since unlabeled bottles were piling up and I was making labeling mistakes already. We put together a quick label for now and all she does is swap colors and fruit to go between different wines. I promised myself to use that expensive camera for the next round and incorporate some nice pictures in there. So here goes....

The first is for my dark cherry wine and the second is my peach wine.

What say you?

A few works in progress...

Front and back labels

And another pair.

Okay, last one.

Dig em! All my ciders & vinos for that matter get my logo...plus handwritten date, variety, ABV & FG.

I like to think of myself as a mad scientist of home crafted ciders & wines...

Cheers

Trying to combine two hobbies! Done in MS word but quit a PIA!

It's simple, just like me, and as of right now, I haven't used it yet.
