    I'd say the grungy flourish fonts are being over-used in all sorts of markets from brewing to the recording industry.

    I feel like the sky in the background of cricket pitch should be a muted green color in spirit of your tank buster label. Love the tankbuster one.

    Well here is my homage to my Sierra Madre brew from Northern Brewer....I used Microsfot Publisher....I suck with Inkster, photoshop, and pretty much everything else it appears.....I would love to know how you all that are doing it are putting the scanner thingies on the labels.....

    Oh I should mention this is supposed to be able to wrap around a 12 ounce bottle....

    Here are my three that I will be putting on my bottles: A Pumpkin Ale, a Vanilla Chai Porter, and a Blueberry Blonde Ale. I made the brew logo on the left, haven't made an official logo yet with writing. Will probably be named Luna Brewing Co. after my doberman (as seen in the logo):

    Amazing, XJ. I love vector art on labels.

    Bleeding Cowboys is all over the place... Guilty of overusing it on my stuff too.

    I used photoshop to make my lable image. In looking at all of these labels I can see that they might have been made on a lable program. What do you recommend ?

    Very nice! Good use of color and negative space. Many labels on this site are too crowded and busy.

    Here's mine. Screen printed and handcut by me. I also screen labels for a local nanobrewery/cafe. Want to keep it as DIY as possible. Same label for ea. Batch, just different color scheme to differentiate ea. Style. Back label (not pictured) is a more open and upside down version of the triangle with space for bottling/abv notes etc... Also not pictured is a round decal (for capped bottles) looks really cool.
    Cheers!

    Welcome to HBT!

    Couple of common options:

    1) a premium output on your inkjet, then Kinko's color copies (they're laser, so won't run)

    2) output onto decent paper on your inkjet, then seal the inks with a spray of clear Krylon.


    Glue with milk or a glue stick.

    Just to amplify - the inkjet printed labels will run if they get wet. If you intend to just put them in the fridge, you won't have any problems (or at least I don't). If you want to throw them in a cooler with ice, then they will run all over.

    Very nice! I definitely like the 'less is more' approach.

    Awesome layering! You could up the opacity on the batch no. and bottle date to fight against the fade out in the bottom corners. Love the steampunkish designs!

    These are our latest label. I think my wife does a great job with these, she uses a program called GIMP2 and loves it.

    Just messing around with Photoshop, which is something totally new to me. Not sure on a brewery name yet, but might do something like this.

    I need your feedback!

    Since making this batch I've learned the error of my ways in using the self-adhesive labels. I've now picked up the much better milk method.

    Very simple label, but does the job, and I can get 25 on a sheet.
