New Epic Series Also, crazy story A fellow brewer and i went to a local grower to get fresh hops. It was raining and on the way back and we ended up skidding on the pavement (later investigation showed there was some kind of paste/plaster on the road). We took the ditch and must of done...

Just a quick observation. The placement of "Melanie and Anthony " and "bottled" aren't align the same in the apfelwein as the other two. Other than that, pretty slick looking!

Blame the font for that one! As I posted earlier in the thread, I blatantly stole the dial from Big Rock Brewery (they use a rooster). It has dawned on me now that I could actually do something original and use a diagram of a turtle and use the shell sections in the same way. I'll have to...

Thanks. I enjoyed viewing your labels as well. Although we might become bitter enemies, both having turtle mascots :)

Well, it's been a while since my last brew (damn summer and other hobbies!) Still going strong on the epic series. I'll have to eventually stop when I can't find anymore "epic" pictures. Enjoy

I like it. Simple, but nicely stylized. If you're looking for a few options, I'd suggest maybe have the ABV and date somewhere separate(maybe underneath) , leaving only the name in the white border. I find it just a bit big. Also, maybe giving the white border a bit more rough edges(let the...

Newest one. I stayed with the same theme as previously.

Well said! I have to admit though, this is pretty epic as well

Thanks guys! I'll eventually have to settle on a general theme, but it's always fun to just be creative on GIMP. Now I would need to top this for my next epic series label. But how do you top a flamethrower wielding cowboy on a t-rex?

Ok, So I might have way too much time on my hands. Anyways, here's my latest. I'm trying a bit of a different style here. Cheers

Thanks for the input. I definitely should of spent more time of the coffee beans to remove the white between them. That definitely would of helped the text pop. I was also thinking of having two smaller text sections on each side rather than a long one, so say each paragraph would be on the...

Thanks, but I cannot claim the beer dial as my own. It actually comes from an Alberta-based brewery named Big Rock. I just saw it on one of their cans and blatantly stole it. I suppose it would become a problem if I ever go commercial :mug: Which label is making your head hurt?

Here are some new additions! Again, criticism is very welcomed.

Cool thanks for the input! My original idea was to get the text to look burnt on. Yeah, I does make it harder to read though. I'd have to try maybe a different wood since it might be too dark.

New Lazy Brewing Turtle Logos! Starting to get a hing of GIMP now. Let me know what you think!
