My pumpkin ale label I threw together quick in photoshop
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...

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.

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).
Are you planning on aging this 9 months and cracking them open at birth ?

.... O and the name "Farmers Daughter Blonde Ale", I know it has been used over and over... and over, but my SWMBO is really a farmers daughter so i couldn't pass up on a good label. Its her and their farm in the picture.

I would change the text color since its hard to read with that background.
I've been slacking on my label production, but I did manage to whip up a label for our O.C.T. Oktoberfest.... which just won 1st Place Judges Choice at the latest competition we attended last Saturday! Our first 1st place, yeah!

Sounds awesome! Send a bottle to Michigan for me?
