This is what I'm using on my bottle caps, hence the basic vector skillz. Probably going to redo it in the next few months to something higher quality.

If you are unfamiliar with any type of art program, just take the time to learn Inkscape or Illustrator instead of Photoshop. You should really be doing this type of thing in a vector editing program.

Photoshop 8 and up utilizes vector graphics, not bitmap. Its much more difficult to learn photoshop than inkspace or illustrator though.

I'd like to know how you're puting those on your caps! Are you just printing on round 1" labels?

Using this method:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f46/diy-custom-crown-caps-103859/
I reverse the image, print them on heavyweight paper spaced in a MS Word table with just over 1"x1" cells (1 cell per image). I print the sheets of images, cut them out into 1x1" squares, put the goop on the caps, apply the square image to the cap, let it dry, gently rub it off under running water (getting about 70% working, with the other 30% not transferring correctly). Let it dry, spray with sealer.

Hardest part is getting most of the goop off the image without rubbing the small serif stuff off the font.

Very true. Just saying as an artist who works at a label printing company, there is nothing more frustrating than receiving art that was designed in Photoshop, even if it is vector. Why would anyone ever want to work with that many layers? While you can drive a nail with a screwdriver, its not the tool for the job.

Here is mine. I still want to add some color to it. If any talented people out there that would like to give it a try I would be delighted.

No problem, but Hokie deserves the kudos for posting it in the first place.

Here is my logo.

 

[bigolbigbelly]

This logo is related to my Lithuanian heritage.
The Legend of the Founding of Vilnius (Vilnius is the capital city of Lithuania)

"Legend has it that the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Gediminas, was hunting in the sacred forest near the Valley of Šventaragis. Tired after the successful day's hunt, the Grand Duke settled in nearby for the night. He fell soundly asleep and began to dream. A huge Iron Wolf was standing on top a hill and the sound of hundreds of other wolves inside it filled all of the surrounding fields and woods. Upon awakening, the Duke asked the pagan priest Lizdeika to interpret the meaning of the dream. And the priest told him: "What is destined for the ruler and the State of Lithuania, is thus: the Iron Wolf represents a castle and a city which will be established by you on this site. This city will be the capital of the Lithuanian lands and the dwelling of their rulers, and the glory of their deeds shall echo throughout the world"

Work in progress. The dog is done, but I'm still playing with typography. I have a horizontal and circular version that I'm messing around with.

I really like your logo, however, I feel the barrel should be much bigger to convey the STRONG ARM. Just a thought. Really do like it though.

 

[smmcdermott]

Really like this thread, as a knew brewer, I am looking for ideas for my own logo. I can't wait to see everyone else's.

Here is my logo.

You know, I was just looking at this logo again, and realized if you took the three rats and turned them 90 degrees clockwise (as a group), it would form a '3'... (right now it's sort of a W... if you get what I mean)
Not really sure how to incorporate that into you logo, just figured I'd throw it out there for consideration.

That is a nice looking logo, however, beer never holds my head up, haha.

Yeah I've seen that too Socia. Maybe I'll go home tonight and see if I can incorporate that somehow, though it could be a pretty big overhaul. The hops and barely have always kind of bothered me (though I do like the use of them to "round out" the logo). Maybe it's time for them to go.

Perhaps eventually I'll get enough name recognition that I could just go by "3RB". The rotated rats would work perfectly for that version

 

[Ksosh]

Maybe it the logo was more egg/oval shaped (tall, not wide), and the hops/barley was the bottom half of the circle, and 'Rat Bastards Brewery' was the top, with the three (and three rat heads) in the middle? Just an idea, and good luck with the revisions.

Kinda rough, Inkscape may work better than Photoshop.
