Show Us Your Label

[superslomo]

Another new one... I'm not sure whether it's too photo-ey, but I just loved the underlying pic:

First shot at a Oaked IPA

I went with a pretty simple label for this one. I'm a biologist, so I like the feel of the classical botanical illustrations.

Just using the online label generator at this point, but still having fun. The Dog Snout Stout got named with the pictured dog stuck his nose in my bottling bucket.

 

[MrNic]

I love the bubbles label.

Here's my new label. It's for my summer ale...

Very good work. Strays from the traditional label design...I like that.

 

[JamesPomm]

I really like this one too!

Actually. Only the label is mine. The wife has elected herself to brew this one. I think she might have a lighter hand than me...

Going with "transporation themed" beer naming, here's my first attempt. I combined the "Beer Labelizer" with my own image and added a bit of sidebar text inspired by what others have posted.

Amazing thread, very entertaining. You guys have all done GREAT work. I posted my first few labels in a separate thread (pls click here). But my latest project is a LOTR-themed series called "Lord of the Ales". I haven't developed all the branding for it yet and I am still playing around with fonts. I am using some LOTR fonts I found online and illustrations by the Brothers Hildebrandt below. This whole thing started because I have a 100% Nelson Sauvin IPA and I wanted to play on the New Zealand theme....

I like the idea of labels, especially when you're giving your brews as gifts, but being the lazy person I am, I made a multi-use tag that I just tie on the necks with twine. For the ones I give out, I wax the caps. It actually looks pretty cool. I don't have an actual picture, but heres the tag I came up with.

Nice. Simple and clean. I like the type too.

Thanks! I'm an architecture student so they've been preaching simplicity in design like it's a verse from the bible. I've also been doing freelance graphic design as a hobby for several years now and i'm definitely all about minimalism.

Continuing with the botanical illustration series....

My time as an architecture and photography student, as well as my old hoppy of graphic design, I agree. Less is always more.

jimpdx: nice work, those labels are fantastic! The artwork really draws you in to read the rest of the label

 

[ElevenBrewCo]

not a label yet, just a logo i suppose...In the number 11 the word "beer" is spelt in different languages.

 

[paulster2626]

"british thinking - american drinking" sounds better to me. but I am an ******, so take it for what it's worth.

 

[BargainMugs]

Great clean design and good use of typography.

I'm not completely sold on the font choice for "Brew Co." It's probably the weight in contrast to the other fonts.

 

[BoyScout]

One for the beer that is currently in my primary

And one for the beer that is on deck and waiting for my primary to be ready.

hmmm i like the idea...i may just have to change that.

Yea i agree with you on that...i just finish it yesterday and still have some alterations to do. Thanks for the criticism though!

I'd scrap the "brew co." altogether. The way I see it, Eleven is just so bad-ass and makes such good beer, that we all know it's a brewing company.

Kinda like how Purolator dropped the "courier". Knowwhatimsayin?

 

[slinky0390]

I would keep "brew co" but I would change it to BREWING COMPANY and space it out to fit under "eleven," something like this but not necessarily the same font. It creates a hierarchy of text, with a primary, secondary, and tertiary zone

haha i wouldnt go that far as of bad ass beer. I mean forcing your girlfriend and dog to drink my beer doesnt count as bad ass beer....knowwhatimsayin?


and slinky, love your paint skills, il move the words around, think spelling out brewing company fits better too...thanks again

Haha, no problem, I'm addicted to graphic design so its fun for me. I actually mocked that up real quick in illustrator.

Okay, my idea is no where near as fancy/detailed as most of yours, but I'm thinking 'simple' for my logo. Looking for critique (definitely want to change the font), and if anyone has the ability to change the colors (blue where the brown/brown where blue is) I'd really appreciate it.

If you have a higher resolution image I could do it.

 

[bjohnson29]

Wish I did. Unfortunately I through that together awhile back and that's all I have...damn. Appreciate it though.
