Show Us Your Label

[Erik the Anglophile]

Long time lurker, first time poster.
All my labels were designed to be copied in black and white photocopier. This assumption led me to the punk aesthetics of the stencils and fanzines: black, white, gray, simple forms that do not lose their attractiveness when reproduced in the simplest and cheapest way.
Everything is compiles in Inkscape with additional help from GIMP.
Take a look & feel free to comment.

And my most beloved polish hop in almost single hop version: "Mostly Oktawia Pale Ale" is the name.

I used to work with a guy from Poznan, everytime you walked to get somewhere/something and he noticed you were in his vicinity you could always tell exactly where he were. Because as soon as he saw you he would yell from the top of his lungs "Lech Poznaaan, Kurwa!" Prefferably if he saw you before you saw him...

Here are a few of my recent labels.

Lech Poznaaan, Kurwa

[facepalm] It happens here quite often. A neighbor from a tenement house next door shouts such texts at random times of the day (and night) from the attic window. I'd love to answer him with a firearm...

Some older labels I've found on harddrive:

Bocks are so nice beers to label them. In Poland we've got old cartoon about Silly Goat - Koziołek Matołek...
Autumn NL Bock - herfstbok

Doppelweizenbock with US hops 2nd & 4th attempt. Fonts: Ubuntu & Branboll.

Dark doppelweizenbock.

As Good as It Gets? Melvin Udall was definitely bitter and rude (

Since Spitfire is most popular in this style, I opted for the Elk - my favorite polish aircraft from 1930's

Peated ale with barge carrying peat...

Red rye ale with red right hand (Nick Cave inspired). Fonts: Wide Latin & Ubuntu.

And finally my best attempt at creating a clear and aesthetic smash label (I brew smashes most often). Unfortunatly beer wasn't that good
Jack's Candlestick, Gorri Sans fonts. Cloud from already mentioned source.

That's all, next labels will be fresh as hefeweizen in Bavaria!

I had planned to brew today, but the weather did not cooperate. Since I'm delayed a week, I spent the day designing my label instead. The picture is from my own honeymoon almost 20 years ago.

Latest label for my Farmhouse ale

 

[Bolt]

New. Coffe IPA with RPA hops.

 

[D.B.Moody]

These to eleven. I'll be going there this afternoon.

 

[D.B.Moody]

These go to eleven too. I know we just took it there in the last batch, but this batch is using a different malt extract for a comparison testing.

Trying to channel that old-school British beer label vibe for a couple of historic-recreation-inspired recipes: a porter and a stout each derived from sort of an average, amalgam of Ron Pattinson's late-1800s recipes.

I've seen a lot better in this thread than those linked. Just my opinion.

Brew on

Did you change your avatar name?

No Sir, I've gone by this name since joining the site.

Your one logo looked similar to another one I saw here, that’s why I asked. Thought maybe you changed your name lol. My bad. Great looking either way!

I am designing a Base design for tap handle/bottle labels that will be heavily inspired by old Truman's labels, and I have a keg of late Victorian inspired porter aging in the basement right now, and will brew a Single Stout inspired by the same era next weekend...

That Monopoly-style baltic ave porter is brilliant, too bad they messed up OG and FG.

115 IBU, huh?

 

[chad.jay.taylor]

115 IBU, huh?

It was a bit much. I've since reused it for a more reasonable 72 IBU version.

 

[Brushwood Brewing]

I have one general template I use, to keep it simple. Then I just add in the info for each beer on the side.

 

[brooksidebrews]

Started playing around with label art. Here are a few of my recent. I am using 12oz cans.
