Label for a train wreck of a brew

I don't know why the text is so hard to read on here. But, it looks fine on my machine and prints good too. But, I did want to share and see what you all think.

I'm still not sure about the text yet. It's a first draft.

Here's a second version that I think I like better:




And here's a back label:

Great idea and great label. I really like the one with the train track. Go with that one! I like the idea of a second label on the other side of the bottle. it's an interesting story and you tied your homebrew into it nicely.

This is my favorite! Great job!!

+1 on the train tracks, but photoshop in a penny on the tracks. I mean, something had to derail the train.

Cheers,

Great label-I like the history and the pic of the tracks is the best

good work!

Thanks for the input guys. I've decided to go with the one with the tracks.

How about a bottlecap on the tracks.

I really, really like your logo. Like, REALLY. I need something that simple and clean for mine!

On the back label, by the way, you mean "its" not "it's". As in, "It ran off its rails".

also, I wouldn't capitalize the Wreck, but now I'm just nitpicking.

Thanks for the catch. I missed the capital "W". I wish they would come up with a "Grammar Check" that works like spell check.

I thought that I was using the apostrophe in "it's" to show possession. Like I said, I really do need that grammar check.

Great beer label story and love the tracks picture. I hope you recorded all of the substitutions and such so you can replicate the beer and use this great label more than once!

I love the front label, and the back text is great too.

One nit-picky thing is to try justifying the font - i think that's what it's called, but I'm not positive - but it's when the left and right borders of the paragraph line up, and the spacing between the words of each line is evened out.

I was totally expecting to see that classic photo of the train wreck at Montparnasse
