Great clean design and good use of typography. :mug:

I'm not completely sold on the font choice for "Brew Co." It's probably the weight in contrast to the other fonts.

BoyScout · Nov 2, 2011

One for the beer that is currently in my primary

And one for the beer that is on deck and waiting for my primary to be ready.

I'd scrap the "brew co." altogether. The way I see it, Eleven is just so bad-ass and makes such good beer, that we all know it's a brewing company.

Kinda like how Purolator dropped the "courier". Knowwhatimsayin?

slinky0390 · Nov 3, 2011

I would keep "brew co" but I would change it to BREWING COMPANY and space it out to fit under "eleven," something like this but not necessarily the same font. It creates a hierarchy of text, with a primary, secondary, and tertiary zone

Haha, no problem, I'm addicted to graphic design so its fun for me. I actually mocked that up real quick in illustrator.

bjohnson29 · Nov 3, 2011

Okay, my idea is no where near as fancy/detailed as most of yours, but I'm thinking 'simple' for my logo. Looking for critique (definitely want to change the font), and if anyone has the ability to change the colors (blue where the brown/brown where blue is) I'd really appreciate it.

If you have a higher resolution image I could do it.

bjohnson29 · Nov 3, 2011

Wish I did. Unfortunately I through that together awhile back and that's all I have...damn. Appreciate it though.

like this??

bjohnson29 · Nov 3, 2011

Yep, just like that...although, to be honest, I think I like the colorscheme on the first better...

Thoughts? Critique?

slinky0390 · Nov 3, 2011

Here you go, I threw this together in the 5 minutes between two of my classes, I did the best I could with the graphic, it's tough because theres not that much detail.

Whoops, didn't realize there wasn't a apostrophe between the r and the s, I didn't save it but I can make it again, or photoshop the letters closer and the apostrophe out.

bjohnson29 · Nov 3, 2011

Very nice, thanks! Might change the script to something a bit more rustic but it looks awesome!

I like the idea of labels, especially when you're giving your brews as gifts, but being the lazy person I am, I made a multi-use tag that I just tie on the necks with twine. For the ones I give out, I wax the caps. It actually looks pretty cool. I don't have an actual picture, but heres the tag I came up with.

Great idea....I like it!

Amazing thread, very entertaining. You guys have all done GREAT work. I posted my first few labels in a separate thread But my latest project is a LOTR-themed series called "Lord of the Ales". I haven't developed all the branding for it yet and I am still playing around with fonts. I am using some LOTR fonts I found online and illustrations by the Brothers Hildebrandt below. This whole thing started because I have a 100% Nelson Sauvin IPA and I wanted to play on the New Zealand theme....

Wow! Very nice work!

Jebu1788 · Nov 4, 2011

Man, after seeing some of the awesome and professional looking labels here, I'm almost ashamed to post these... But here we go anyway. Which one? (maybe both)

I like to keep it simple, and black and white, to keep printing easy.

Also, nothing to do with Blue Moon. I forgot about that when I came up with the name.

paulster2626 · Nov 4, 2011

Second one. And never be ashamed of something you like. Besides, it's what inside that counts.

mcraw88 · Nov 4, 2011

So thanks to Burro2882 and his awesome logo help for me I decided to try a label. I am going for the space based theme where all of the beers with have something to do with astronomy/astrophysics/general space related items. This is kind of busy and crazy and not completed yet but all criticism and ideas will be appreciated. I am handicapped when it comes to photoshop...

edit: new label much better

StittsvilleJames · Nov 5, 2011

Here's a new label for my winter beer. I finally designed a logo I like, so I wanted to redesign and rechristen my spiced winter ale.

Thanks!

When I think of "mammoth" I would assume it would be a big beer. 5.5% seems a little light for a "Mammoth". But hey still a cool lable, Congrats.

how bout "wooly mammoth"? somehow it seems more wintery, especially given the snow on the graphic...just a thought. Either way, I like the label :mug:

For the Apfelwein.

Cold Country Brewery · Nov 5, 2011

The Great Pumpkin Ale

slinky0390 · Nov 6, 2011

So I'm trying something different, I bought a can of chalkboard spraypaint, and this seems to be working after a couple of washes. Haven't thrown them through a star-san rinse yet, so that'll be the real test.

WHAT. Chalkboard spray paint exists?!? That seems like a BRILLIANT idea! Crack open that milk stout and Star San that bottle so you can report back ASAP!

x_cream · Nov 6, 2011

Inspired by the american pale ales. Brewed on "Russian Unity Day" in the cold Saint-Petersburg.

Nice job! All images came from Google image search. You can even upload an image and it will find similar images...

Nice looking label. Clean and simple. Fyi, you misspelled "making"

If that 'while' spelled as 'wile' was on purpose, that would be quite sneaky of you...

Really like these. Clean and simple. I like the second one better, but both really great.

Here's my latest. It's for a pale ale with Galaxy hops, hence the name...

I really like the font on that label. Do you know what it's called?

LowerMillHillBackyardBrew · Nov 7, 2011

Whoa! That Galaxy Pale is awesome!

Here's the Grateful Dead themed label I made today for my mild, "Althea":

(Language note: "Skyggebryggeriet" is Norwegian, meaning "The Shadow Brewey", or alternatively "The brewery in the shadows".

Any other deadheads in here?
