For my new pumpkin ale. A play on "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and the theory that Ichibod Crane was killed by a hurled pumpkin :)
 
Actually, this is the updated one with my logo worked into it.

In the process as brewing our first beer so I decided to go ahead and throw a label together tonight and post it up to see what you guys thought! Still dont know what to put on the left side...

For my first label, since it was the first home brew I had given many of my friends, I used that side to put a nice warning about home brewed beer having yeast at the bottom of the bottle, how to properly pour the beer, and not to drink it.

Good concept label. I would add a hint of highlight to the eye(s) and bring them up just a bit to add more life to the model.

Thanks much. Finally had the chance to look at this again and I highlighted the eyes and redid the "cow layer" so it looks more centered.

I think I have a lot of dead space. Any suggestions on what to do? Maybe it's OK to not have label that's too busy.

thanks.

I pulled the box from google images, and it was the best one i could find that wouldn't require shopping out water marks. otherwise, closed box all the way. a friend of mine is going to draw me up something (he has the art skillz). So the main img may change soon. Just waiting on him to assemble his drawing tablet.
 
I think I'm pretty close on finalizing this design.

My wife and I are expecting our first child beginning of the year, so I wanted to brew something special that could age until the child is born. For that reason I chose to do a Tripel - my first high-gravity brew. So far, the batch has gone exactly to plan. It's been in the fermenter about a month now and is going into bottles this weekend. We are waiting to find out the sex so we could have one of the biggest surprises of our lives, hence the name of the beer. And since this is a celebration of our child, I wanted to go with a fun kid theme.

All the work was done in Pixelmator for Mac (awesome app, by the way) and I have two slightly different versions of the neck labels - one for standard bottles, and another for the Belgian bottles I'm also using. The illustrations are samples from graphicriver.net, but I will be buying the vector art and swapping it out so the animals aren't blurry and free of watermarks on the final version. My plan is to simply print these out on decent paper and glue them to the bottles with a glue stick, perhaps spraying with that special Krylon stuff (sorry, don't recall the name).
