first label

[beltbuckle]

Still tweaking a bit, but designing a standard label in GIMP on linux. Will probably add a bit more text with brew date, bottle date, and ABV. Anyway what you ya think? (BTW my last name is "fuhrman" hence the name...)

I would try to tighten up the kerning between the letters and add space between the words and the dots - does that make sense? It's kinda hard to read.

I love the concept.

Hah, yeah that makes sense. I kept increasing the kerning so it would span the whole 170 degrees but I will try your suggestion and see if I like it.

OK. revision 2. I (and my wife too) agree, decreasing the kerning makes it easier to read. Also cleaned up a few lines.

Slapped one of these on a brown 12oz bottle and the colors were a nice match.

I'd have to say that #2 is much more appealing than #1! Just my opinion...

Second one is a winner!

+1. I like how it is simple and easy to read. Nice work.

Nice.

Easier to read.

You can try kerning it out more to get that look again, but keep it tighter than the first.

I love the beer test tube.

Looks awesome. Great concept.

Thanks all. Here's another version I am playing with.
