Here are my 2 labels so far. I thought these 2 brews deserved labels. I use a laser printer to print them and cut them manually. One is based on a vintage crate label. I put the sheets through a labeller and it puts the stick on the back...

The only downside with regular color laser is that the labels will not stay on if you are chilling the bottles in buckets of ice... not a big deal normally, but for a party etc you might have a tough time with that detail.
Great point! I noticed that as well.....most of the time I am giving a bottle or two to friends to try and I want them to have a label. They hold up in the fridge pretty good.
Any other options for waterproof labels?
3 Keg Labels I did for a Halloween Party this weekend:
redid my label taking tips and inspiration from the better looking labels on here. Kinkos has a paper that has a sticky back, so I got them printed there. Laser printer, sticky paper, cut to size for me, $1 each? sounds like a winner.

These have to be some of my favorite ones. I love the pinup girl theme. Ya wanna help me with a triple ipa label?
I just bottled it. It's 8.7ABV or so, aggressively hopped.

Here are a few of my labels I have done so far. Graphic designer by day, so Photoshop comes pretty naturally. Never bothered with labels (time removing the labels, etc) but will be giving some as gifts so thought I'd give it a shot. Let me know what you think -
Black Island Brewer
An Ode to Beer
Love seeing all your labels! Gives me lots of ideas! This is my first submission. Each label I make includes the "Black Island Brewing" logo, and the specifics of the beer. I just change the main image. The odd shape is because I put them onto stubby "Duvel" bottles.

Why do people post the template website labels, like we haven't seen them before?

Another new one... I'm not sure whether it's too photo-ey, but I just loved the underlying pic:

Very good work. Strays from the traditional label design...I like that.
Here's my new label. It's for my summer ale...
Actually. Only the label is mine. The wife has elected herself to brew this one. I think she might have a lighter hand than me...

Awesome! I would love for my wife to challenge me to a brew off....She helps with the brew though! So thats alot more then a lot of guys! :rockin:
Amazing thread, very entertaining. You guys have all done GREAT work. I posted my first few labels in a separate thread (pls click here). 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....

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.
Nice. Simple and clean. I like the type too.

Thanks! I'm an architecture student so they've been preaching simplicity in design like it's a verse from the bible. I've also been doing freelance graphic design as a hobby for several years now and i'm definitely all about minimalism.

My time as an architecture and photography student, as well as my old hoppy of graphic design, I agree. Less is always more.

jimpdx: nice work, those labels are fantastic! The artwork really draws you in to read the rest of the label

not a label yet, just a logo i suppose...In the number 11 the word "beer" is spelt in different languages.

"british thinking - american drinking" sounds better to me. but I am an asshat, so take it for what it's worth.
