Need a little help with a brewery name.

I wanted to include my English Bull Terrier (Spuds McKenzie look-a-like) in the name somehow. Her name is Marley's General Patton and she has little brown spots all over her ears and body.

So far I have come up with:

Bullie Dog Brewery
Spotty Dog Brewery
Spotted Dog Brewery
Freckled Dog Brewery

I am at a loss though, as the ones I have come up with are somewhat boring and I would like to have one that is well, cool and unique.

Here is a couple of pictures of her.



When she was a pup:




Any help would be appreciated greatly.

How about Marley's General Patton Brewery. The photo shop your dog to have dreads and wearing a army uniforn like Patton?

What do you think of this?

I have no ideas at the moment, nor time to do a label, but here's a blank of the dog if any 'shoppers out there could use one at this time:

I was wanting to do just that with that picture. If anybody does have the time to put something together I would appreciate it since I am horrible with photoshop.

Here's something quick. I didn't post the name before, so you may hate it, but I just thought it might help get the ball rolling.

Bull Terror Brewing

If the beer won't get you the dog will...

nice.. i like it..

Oakwolf, I love it. I never would have thought of that and I say it to her all the time.

Brewpastor, "If the beer won't get you the dog will..." is awesome.

If you two don't mind I might look into incorporating the two together and see what happens.

this is why I love this board, everybody pitches in with their own two cents. I'm not very imaginative so it's hard for me to come up with things like this.

Thanks everyone.

What do you think? Like I said, I am far from being imaginative.

aekdbbop, your logo is probably one of the most professional and most balanced one I have seen. Did you create it?

Okay, another one.

Sorry for using your color theme aekdbbop, but it was perfect.

Here is another I just finished.



I'm not real crazy about the font, any opinions?

there it is.. i think its a winner!

I'm kind of digging it too.

Wow. Nice, nice, nice work.

Here's something else. Hoping to create the "whoa, am I already buzzed?" feeling, to go with the motto.



Edit: Maybe a beer label here, not a brewery name?

I like that, I could use that for one of my big stouts.

Well, just finished my first brew and got it into the fermenter. I started at 7 and finished at 9:30. Not too bad I don't think. I even sterilized stuff I didn't end up using. Oh well, better to be safe then sorry.

aekdbbop, do you mind if I use the label that based the colors off of yours for the Liberty Cream Ale I made tonight?

I want to make sure I don't step on anybodies feet with my labels.

I really appreciate all the additions that everyone has contributed, I have saved them all and will definitely use them all based on the beer I make in the future.

This place rocks!!!!!!!!

:rockin:

Please don't quit contributing labels and brewery names. The more I see the more I get inspired. And I promise, I will contribute back. I have a full CS3 version of photoshop and dreamweaver.

I can build decent basic websites and don't mind trading. I can even host it.

Once I decide on a permanent name for the brewery (AttaGirl Brewery is in first for the moment) I will buy the domain and build a site based on it. For now here is my current personal site that has a link to my Brewing adventure.

Well, it never fails, baby girl Marley just gave me another idea. She does it all the time when she wants to play.

What do ya'll think?

The dog in that logo looks like it came from one of the existing members labels/logo, if I recall. Also, I may be mistaken, but I believe he paid to have his label/logo designed by another member on here who is a graphic designer (who also designed mine)...

I don't think it would be a good idea to use this one...

Your dog is cute though! :rockin:

Well, I guess its not the guys main brewery label. I found the post and there is another main logo that The Black Dog Brewery uses... but this is one he also uses:




EDIT: Here's the other. Billpa does good work!

I got the picture of that dog off of the free label generator site that was posted here.

Not a big deal really - graphic artists even take 'clip-art' from other places and work with it. I was just saying, for purposes of wanting to post your labels up on this site, someone already had a pretty substantial label designed with that image.

If you don't mind your image looking similar to someone elses, and you don't "step on the toes" of the other party, it doesn't make one bit of a difference to me!

Oh, I agree 100%. I wasn't planning on using it. He did have a really nice label made up with it though. Who was that did again?

Billpa designed the logo for another member - I don't recall the other member's name off the top of my head, but I'll dig it up!

Those are jnorris's labels. I designed both of them although the first dog was provided to me by him and I changed it around quite a bit. I think he ripped it off google images. EDIT...i guess it pulled it off that free label generator. Ultimately he wanted something different and thats where the second and "official" logo came from.

Cheers,
Bill

What do you charge for a custom label?
