Show Us Your Label

[501irishred]

For an upcoming family reunion - Got to love a family coat of arms with topless mermaid for the crest......

Can't go wrong with a smok'n hot elf IMO....

Nice label, sir. Elves are quite nice!

Hello, all.

I wanted to introduce myself, and also show you all the first label I've made. I've been downloading photoshop for 2 hours, so I did this online at picmonkey.com. I just went all-grain and this is my first all-grain brew. It's a variation of the Zombie Dust Clone on here, only with some Simcoe to replace some of the Citra and Victory Malt added. Well, that's all I've got.

Happy Brewing!

What a great label. Excellent job. Where to you get your labels printed, or do you print them yourself? Interested in your process.

Thanks for your nice comment. I designed it myself in photoshop and typically just print them on my work laser printer. They always turn out nice and don't bleed.

I can't believe I didn't see this earlier - I wanna show off!

My labels look a bit different than a lot of yours - I have a smaller "square" label, and then a separate label for the neck. I might see if I can find the larger ones like you guys are using so that I could have a little variety. Anyways, here are a few of mine!

"High Test" Dopplebock (currently fermenting)

"Bodacious Brother's Ale" Amber Ale with Paradise Seed

(A lot of story into that label - the boys portrayed are my brother and I from many years ago.)

"Cooter's Apple Ale" Fruit Beer - being unveiled at the 2013 All-Chrysler National Car Show in Carlisle, PA

"Poopy Diaper Ale" Creme Stout - brewed to celebrate the birth of our first child - that's her at less than one-day old on the neck label.

"Mo' Porrin' Ale" Cream Ale (and quite a good one) that was introduced at last year's car show.

I design mine with Photoshop and then print them at the local Fedex Kinkos.

I'm fermenting a chocolate coffee stout. These are the labels and caps I'm going to use.
They're made of vinyl and printed digitally at www.garagemonk.com

 

[Bazaar]

Just wanted to share another trippy one.

 

[Punx Clever]

Since it was brewed during a particularly nasty rain storm, I present to you, Monsoon Porter!

I don't have a color printer at the moment, so I don't make color labels. The black&white usually does pretty good though.

Looking forward to the topless asian label.

Maybe some sort of **** tag for that one...

I can do that if it's really necessary... but are people such prudes really that a bit of illustrated naked pixels are not safe for their work?

Depending on where they work, it may not be an issue of them being prudes but what their computer policy says. Causing someone to lose their job because you didn't '****' something would be a dick move for sure.

Only thing I would change is take Uncle Jessie off the label and put cooter on it...

 

[BraapBeer]

First Beer first label

Derp... Did I really do that??

Problem is, finding high-res pics of the DoH cast from the 70's is very, very hard...

It has nothing to do with being prudish, it has to do with being respectful of people that might work in more corporate or educational environments.

Easy to find the important one - Daisy! Maybe your next Bock, could be a Bach?:rockin:

Hurredly jots that down...

As this is a "Chrysler" car show that I attend annually, I'm always trying to think of new Mopar-related ideas. Dukes of Hazzard is a good source, but I would have never thought of that one...

Seriously I feel like an idiot, but I'm glad mcangeli pointed that out to me... My only defense is that it's been 30 years since I've seen an episode of that show...

Fixed:

 

[matteroftaste]

just finished my brewery logo:

wanted something simple for bottle caps and marking labels ect...

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

as an employer i'd say you're in more trouble for spending all day on the site instead of working, no matter what picture you were looking at. but that's just me. nice labels all keep it up.

 

[DrZym802]

Ummmmm pretty sure most jobs give you breaks to be able to browse sites like this. Therefore not interrupting valuable work time. I like the label. I also think you would have just as nice a label if she had a skimpy top on. Either way bitching about this (from either side) seems juvenile.

[LucilleAdams]

Figured I should label this one as it tasted so much better than anything else I've made to this point. Pau Hana means "done work"...it's the Hawaiian's version of quittin' time. The beer tastes so tropical I thought it seemed fitting! Anything I should add, remove, etc? Typos before I go to print?

 

[501irishred]

Love the label, uncluttered and to the point. Wondering about it only being bottled yesterday, and already feel its the best ever. Uncarbed sample?

 

[justabrewin]

Here's mine!

 

[modernlifeisANDY]

Here's mine!

Are those labels textured or is it just the picture?

 

[Cultkid]

No worries, I've unsubscribed to this thread so you can continue (or not) to discuss (what I thought was) a done subject if you wish, but I won't participate in this thread any longer.

Cheers.

 

[scoundrel]

Good now we can put this to rest. Let's get back to seeing more labels. I vote that we permanently strike page 244 from the record.

 

[justabrewin]

I used a gloss clear spray on these to give them a little shine, so that is probably what you are seeing.

**** Labels - Please do not post labels with bare breasts or other nudity here or in any other technical thread. Linking to another site with a warning that it is **** is fine, or if you are a supporting member, posting in that other forum is a good solution.

As for the sniping about **** being for people who are prudes, etc., that is not accurate. There are workplace considerations, there are also members who read the forums with their small children nearby who might not want to have ****ies exposed them. We keep the technical forums SFW for those reasons.

Back to the labels . . .

Does it make it difficult to remove the label and residue after using the spray?
