I love the label. I also dig the ceramic bottles. I have about 20 of them and I'm always looking for more. Those are my favorite bottles.

My new labels

 

[Medic218]

I feel like there should be hash mark or something between the "9" and the "11".
As is, it looks like "911".
Otherwise, looks fantastic!!

Been toying with this label for the Cream Ale i brewed yesterday. What do you think?

 

[Chops1867]

Thanks. This is the first time I have used ceramic bottles. I have three. Hard to tell when they are clean, and you can't see them filling with the bottle wand.

Yeah, you gotta watch em close when filling. I'm always on the lookout for more. Usually they come with Belgian beers.

I came up with these today. My wife isn't too crazy about them, as they do not have pics of the dogs on them, but I like them. Any thoughts from all of you?

Great looking labels all!

I know a lot use gimp, illustrator and photoshop, but where do you all get the artwork from?

Different bottles call for different labels

I'm groovin' on those square bottles! Are they retasked oil or vinegar bottles? They really do lend an "old world" feel to their presentation, nice labels too.
Regards, GF.

yea, I know about google IDK if the law has changed since I took an internet class back in college but it was said if you change an image by 30% you can claim rights to it. I'm not going to sell anything so it doesn't really matter.

I guess I was wondering if we have a lot of talented artists on here, if people had friends draw something up for them, or if they just use google images and alter them. Guess I just wanted more information about how some of these sweet labels came to be.

Ebay seller said Italian wine bottles. 12 for $12 couldn't resist.

Here's my newest.

I built a template that lets me keep a similar style from label to label.

Just bottled this today. First time I made a label to wrap completely around the bottle. I learned the hard way that I should have paid attention and used all of the same type of bottles. When I was testing the label size, I think I was using the bottles that you get at LHBS. I had a few Guinness Black Lager and other bottles that were tapered. It still worked ok but required some extra cutting.

The last couple posts about images and copy rights. I usually don't use images but like to use lots of clip art. I use this website and as far as I can tell the images are supposed to be free to use.

Just brewed a Honey Bee American Light today.

Really cool work in here, guys.

Here my latest for a Kölsch I made for my gf's birthday. Stamm is the name of our street and it also stands for 'house' (as in house pale ale) in german which is kinda neat.

Here is the label for my "OTM (Old Tom Morris) Scotch Ale"

 

[kwgriz]

My latest.

 

[jspain3]

I don't have the graphic design prowess that some of you guys have, but here's a quick mock up I've done for my home brew. My first beer is still bottle conditioning, so I haven't really settled on a Brewery name yet, but I'm temporarily using 'House of Spain Brewing' as a stand-in (Spain is my surname).

I figured something simple would be both clean and eye-catching as well as easy to alter from a template. Any suggestions are welcome for added (or removed) features of the label.

 

[Throw_Back]

I was going to wait until I had a picture of all my labels, but here's the latest two!

 

[rustytypewriter]

Looks pretty awesome, Throw_Back. Care to post the back side? Anyway, keep it up.

 

[Throw_Back]

Sure, I'll upload all the label images when I get home tonight!

 

[CorporateHippie]

My "IPA" that tastes A-Maze-ING !!!

 

[rustytypewriter]

I made some small final changes.

 

[JINKS]

For the tall skinny bottles 500ml

 

[Jacinthebox]

not sure if I already posted this or not.

Here is one of mine. Not that happy with it. I want a way to have a caramel apple on it but make it look like its drawn in pencil. Anyone care to help?? This was all done in inkscape.

Google image search apple and download image.



Apply sketch effect from your phone or computer.



Not sure if this is what your looking for but it took less than a minute on a galaxy s4. Cheers!
