A new take on bottle labels...

[Nasoma]

Hey. First time posting here so sorry about jumping right into the plug...

I've been working on this project for a couple of years now in my free time: http://www.beer-beast.com/, haven't really done anything with it so I thought I would share.

You enter beer attributes, and it generates a beast. It's fun ... but it's also practical. It's like a completely visual beer reference, no text needed, really. So, naturally, a convenient thing to do with that is place it on a bottle label. Here's some examples:

EDIT: If anyone is interested in following along, I am try to find really different recipes that make interesting beasts and post them here: https://twitter.com/the_beer_beast

Anyway, check it out, let me know what you think!

Pretty cool idea!

Thanks, you know, I really thought so too. I thought it would be cool to have them all lined up and sort of have a collection of these beasts. Looking at them it's fun to see how the compare and contrast, visually.

Thinking out loud, are people more interested in labels that you can print at home and glue on yourself? Or are most people comfortable ordering labels ... these are through Zazzle and the price point is reasonable, it's around 12 bucks to label 2 cases of beer.

Anyway, I was thinking of other cool things you could do with these beasts, so I have a number of t-shirts you can put them on as well:

I would love to have labels but am far too lazy to make any, regardless of how easy it may be. My limited spare time is precious and it is just not something I want to invest time into; I would much rather do something like this. Cool idea. I would stay away from the tshirt thing, IMHO there are enough tshirts in the world. It may be more productive to use your time to make other variants of the labels (randomly generated artsy abstract for ex.). I would buy these and I'm not really into cartoony looking monsters. Cool idea man.

This is really cool. Nice job on this. I'm not into bottling or bottle labeling, but I could totally see buying a t-shirt at some point. The one you have pictured is pretty bada$$.

Cheers
