A memorial beer for GreenwoodRover?

[Rick500]

I like the label. There's a typo in the name though; it's "Shiver Me Bitters".

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

I can change fonts and add font just let me know which ones. I didn't want to go through every font in gimp and look at them so if you have a favorite, mention it.

Nah, fonts was just an example. What I meant to say was, who can tell what brilliant idea some smartass may come up with next.

I'm liking it lots.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

That's why I used it. Really all I know about him. I was going to use the pic of him with the fish in his Groups Profile, but most of us know him as this more.

Yeah, I had thought about the fish pic too. It was great. I thought though, that as this was an HBT project rather than family based you picked the right one.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Take 2.....

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

I'm liking it. I just had a thought though. If that image is the final choice, I guess we should clear it with his wife before we use it.

 

[IrregularPulse]

I don't think this is anything his wife is going to be involved with. Just Home Brewers tribute amongst ourselves. She doesn't need bothered with this petty stuff. Not petty, but Petty in respect to what her and her family is actually going through. I think the donation is as far as we should go with the family involvement.

I could not agree more. They have way to much stuff going on right now.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Anyone have any good Drinking Buddies Writings for the back label?

 

[IrregularPulse]

Maybe we can get one of the online suppliers here to add this as a recipe such a brew masters warehouse. I already created a recipe on there and saved it but I can't share it cause it's not "complete" ? I'm going to use Belgian Abbey II Yeast I think

 

[CatchinZs]

I like this idea...I can work on the label also if needed.

I agree absolutely. WHat I meant though, was that anything on the interwebz has a way of leaking out into the everyday lives of others. That's all.

Take a crack. It would be cool to get mine used, but I am not the best artist in this place!

I'd like to submit something for consideration for a back label. Of course, it would need to be judged against other entries.......And I need to get totally hammered before I write my attempt. But I'm up for that.

 

[CatchinZs]

Pretty quick one...I didn't change a lot but I thought that a black background really made the image pop.

 

[IrregularPulse]

It hides the edge lines well too. I just don't know how it'd show up against a brown beer bottle. But I'm a little biased

That's a good point....I might have to think about that one for a bit and see if I can come up with anything else.

 

[CatchinZs]

White Border to help with bottle contrast but everyone should keep kicking around ideas.

Edit: It's there it just doesn't show up against the background of the board.

Direct link to my gallery shows the border.

I guess to answer you questions - I am Kevin's wife, I do exist, and I do know that this board was an important part of his hobby. Reading your posts has let me into this part of his life. I don't know if he ever spoke of me or our boys, but I assure you, we heard quite a bit about you, and his brew board conversations. I am honored that you want to do something in his memory, in whatever way you choose - and with or without my involvement. Please handle whatever way you think is best. My contact info. is below:

As you can see Kevin was well liked in our ranks, and will be missed.

If you haven't seen we have been doing more than just this beer....You should be getting a nice check from us at the end of the month as well. Lat I looked in just 24 hours we have come close to 1,000 dollars moved into an account here which the owner of this board will cut a check from.

My prayers are with you and yours at this time.

Here's something I threw together.

Here's something I threw together.

Maybe airbrush the dark edges a bit, but otherwise that's pretty nice.

 

[chefchris]

Same one with different colors

 

[IrregularPulse]

I'll play the black background game too

 

[AnOldUR]

I'll play the black background game too

^^^^^^
Very nice!

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

The charcoal effect is AWESOME! However the bottom text gets lost.

yeah I was struggling with that as well, I'll play with it more if the design is a possible pick

*I know way take artistic credit for the image*

 

[mmb]

I dig the charcoal image as well.

 

[Homercidal]

I dig the charcoal image as well.

+100! I really dig that! I'm thinking a different font for the bottom text and maybe tweak the blur behind it.

 

[chefchris]

Yeah, I like that a lot.

Would you mind sending me the background image and I'll see if I can make the text pop a little more.
