...Of the three labels posted, which one is preferred for this beer. Yes, the label is a blatant rip-off of Orkney Brewing but hey, I like their label design and they are Vikings too...
First off, love the vikings theme! I don't have much in the way of Scandinavian ancestry, but vikings in general are fascinating to me (hence my avatar; I also collect viking themed beer cans and bottles).
For the labels, if I had to pick, it would be the first one. It's a bit more "in your face" than the other 2. Cheers!
 
It's been a while since I last posted in here. But we've not been idle over at the Beer Labelizer. I notice a fair few of you use the site, but one thing you've always mentioned is the lack of back labels so you can extol more information about your brews. We found ourselves having the same problem as well. So we've added back label designs to all our templates. As always you can have your labels printed by us on our commercial printer, where they get cut to shape or you can opt to print them at home yourself. www.beerlabelizer.com

So I've been in and out of brewing over the course of the last 12 years or so. Waaaay back in 2008 I created a line of labels under my previous faux-brewery, Bare Bottom Brewery. Since then I have abandoned that one and created a new "Wish-I-had-a-brewery" brewery themed on Vikings (my ancestry is predominately Swedish) called Thirsty Viking Brewery. I've been working on a new line of labels under this title and wanted an opinion. Of the three labels posted, which one is preferred for this beer. Yes, the label is a blatant rip-off of Orkney Brewing but hey, I like their label design and they are Vikings too.


First, all three are great, nice artwork. However, I pick label #2 because the two war axes reinforce the style of Double IPA. The old one, two punch.
 
So my first time doing anything with Inkscape came up with these. I still have a lot to learn but I can't complain!

A generic label I'm going to order that I can use for any beer.

Then I had to do a label for my Spacex inspired beer. I took a picture of the Falcon Heavy Rocket and used the trace bitmap feature w/ edge detection to get the rocket. Then filled in random spots with the orange.

Cool Label!
Do you work for SpaceX or in the rocket industry?

Unfortunately no, not yet anyways ;) Though my fiance works for NASA, and we live right next to the Glenn research center and airport in Cleveland so that sparked a lot of my interest. I recently started flying little Cessnas with an instructor with hopes of one day getting to fly solo!

Cool on the flying. SpaceX is a truly revolutionary company, but I would recommend remaining a fan over becoming an emplyee if you value your evenings and weekends. I worked there for a few years. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and culture, but I REALLY enjoyed not working there anymore.
 
501irishred,
To keep the added flavor and aroma I dry hopped both beers in secondary and added the orange zest and "cooked and mashed" berries, respective to each beer, during this time.
The Orange IPA is excellent.. the flavor stayed with the beer and it's a bit too easy to enjoy on a hot day.
The Blues Berries, at this time, is in its final days of secondary, however, I have tasted it several times and the blue berry is very present. A few weeks after bottle conditioning will be the true test.
