Show Us Your Label

If you where in Leadville you could brew at 10,000 feet

 

So are YOU in Leadville? If so, how long does it take to boil?

Anyways, like the labels?

 

No, I am in Las Vegas, my parents are from Leadville and have a summer cabin there. I have heard stories of the cooking issues at that altitude... good luck.

I do like the labels & mining theme!

 

Label I made for a micro batch of mead. I usually dont label the beer. But I will be posting a few beer labels later on in the year, as I plan to do up some variety packs as x-mas gifts this year.

 

My first home brew (all-grain) and my first label! What do you think?

 

Here are my 2 so far

 

I LOVE bleeding cowboys font. I use it alot for anything from softball league shirts to beer labels. The wife gets +1 from me

 

Or whoever decided to use that for your name. Stupid phone. Can't figure out how to edit my posts

 

Sorry, dbl post...

 

Thanks, I'll let her know! She has made about 8 labels now based on that design. We are going to go through them and adjust the Bloody Cowboy font a bit so we can use them commercially someday without having to buy rights to it. Ironically, in my county, there was never a mine claim filed with "Lost Mine" in the name, so I figured I'd add it. That and my house sits on top of a few mine claims.

 

Just finished this one. Good beer too!

 

QR codes! Nice!

This one is still very much in progress

 

My first label.

 

I love the big, original graphics!

 

that is ****ing clever man.

 

classy!

 

This may not be my final label...I may add some more info about this...but I like the way it came out.

What do you think?

 

I always thought they should put something on like "Consumption of this alcoholic beverage may *CAUSE* pregnancy "

 

I dig it!

 

Love the antiqued paper look.

 

ok, that's cool.

 

Thanks guys! I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I used the milk trick on the labels too -- love that.

 

I really like it. My only suggestion (for you to do with what you like), would be considering adding the frame to the portrait. It kind of floats and the photo is cropped for a frame. You could also try darkening some or all of the photo, which is considerably lighter than the vibrant, contrasty background. Adding contrast to the photo may help unify the individual componants of the label. Again, just some thoughts...it's cool as is.

 

I see what you mean. I kinda wanted to give it a little bit of a 3D look (if you can see how some of my layers overlap. The frame is a good idea and I might make a version and see how it looks. Thanks for the input!

 

Now that you say that, it does have a 3D quality. But without knowing that, my mind did not make that logical leap; there's nothing in the design to associate with 3D. Good job executing your intent though...it does have a kind of hologram effect which the lighter less contrast of the photo & guns adds to.

 

I tried the frame and didn't like it at all. I did like when I darkened "Doc" and I softened the edges of his protrait so it wasn't so sharp..Made him a little bigger..I also added a little contrast and a yellow tint to his skin to blend in with the background....Which do you like better? The original or edit?


Edited

 

The edited looks better to me!

 

Thanks! I'm glad you like it

 

Here is some of my latest work

 

Sorry for the delay, just saw your question.

1200x1800 pix
4x6 in

edit: I should note that these will go above my tap handles on my frig, not on a bottle. They look a little big, so I am going to shrink them down to 3.5x5 moving forward.

 

Here's a rough draft of my Brewery Label....Im on a 5 year business plan...so I got time to mess around with it...

 

Here's a few of mine. I just started so they kind of suck.

I'm noticing a strong Bleeding Cowboys font trend in home brew labels.
