Show Us Your Label

[Aniseed]

Gimp user here also!
Been a lurker here forever, recently joined - here is one of my latest label projects; for a porter I brewed last month and the "poster" I did to go along with it (I usually print one of these to photo paper and hang it in my home bar when I tap a new beer) - the race car is from iracing - a online racing simulation that I do when time permits

And a label for a Moose Drool clone:

And my new "Skeeter Pee" label - wanted something a little more "wine" looking for this brew, but still wanted to retain some of the "tongue-in-cheek" humor of it's heritage- the name is the french translation of "the piss of the mosquito" - At least according to google translate.

I use photoshop and love it, but if you don't want to spend a lot of money and are an honest law abiding citizen, then GIMP is free substitute, or even photoshop elements (much cheaper) would be good. For some reason I always had bad luck with gimp but most that try it dig it

For anyone using a Mac, Pixelmator is incredible. It's not free, but not expensive.

My first attempt at labels. These will be for the kegerator. Feedback welcome!

Wow. Your "skeeter pee" is 18.5%abv ?!

Would you mind sharing the recipe?

This will be the generic base for my label, thanks to the guys in the label help thread and the Knox thread for label applicationView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1428757337.826577.jpg

Another strong endorsement for Pixelmator here if you have a Mac!

I love both. I wish I was as creative.

First stout and first label.. a stout with a chocolate twist. It is still in the fermenter and at 6% after only a week it's going to finish quite a bit stronger than I expected... hence the name.:cross:

 

[Bargerbrew]

I like that one Zippy84.

 

[zippy84]

Good to hear, bar the waay off metric conversion it worked out well, obviously I don't normally deal in ounces!!

zippy84

I like this label too but the 1 pint, 8 oz. has me confused.
One pint is 16 oz. so is it a 24 oz. bottle?

Yeah I messed up, it has since been changed and I mentioned it in my last post. In Ireland (and all of Europe) we deal in imperial pints (568 ml) as oppose to a US pint which is about 470 ml. 568 ml translates to just over 19 oz. Not sure where I got 8 oz from. I should have just stuck to pint measurement really ha.

Corrected!

Photoshop CS2 is available for free through a quick Google search. No hacking required. Adobe has simply turned off the registration validation site as the program is several cycles out of date now.
A few minute download and the serial # listed with the download had me back into a very familiar version of Ps.
It's a few years old, but is fully functional and compatible with the current Ps releases.

Hey everyone,

I've been homebrewing for a couple months now and decided it was time I explore the label world. I play with yoyos and kendamas and various novelty type toys so I wanted to do labels in this direction. While doing a bit of internet scouring, I came across numerous images of novelty toys in retro packaging. Inspired by this theme, I came up with this logo:

While I don't play with tin robots, I thought this would be an awesome direction for a red. So I designed this label to be "Red Robot" or "Big Red Robot" depending on ABV. I haven't added any stats since I haven't actually made this, but it's something easy to add.

In the works is a Spokane World Fair (1974) themed label for my Washington Wheat IPA, and space themed labels for a series of single hop pale ales (Galaxy, Apollo, Comet, etc.)

Your image links don't seem to be working (at least for me.) It could be a URL length limitation. I replaced "[]" with "<>" in the image tags of the quote so you could see what I mean by URL length. I copied and pasted both URL's into the address bar, and both resulted in 404's.

Brew on

 

[CKelly]

Alright, definitely messed up the URL stuff there. Didn't realize you could just do an upload though, so I went with that instead. Hope that fixes the problem.

Simple but elegant labels, no BS web page, beautiful mission statement, excellent cause (donations)!! If the beer follows suit with what you have to this point, it should be something special to behold. Have a safe trip back, good luck in your brewing endeavors, and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

Love it. Grew up in Spokane. Always loved going to the park and seeing the fair tent skeleton.

Then I think you'll really like my most recent design. I'll upload it tomorrow. Pays special tribute to Spokane!
