First labels I've done in years; didn't want to send out plain bottles for FOTHB. Could definitely use some polish if I was using them on more than literally just a couple bottles, but anyway...
The dog is my little girl, the tree is from the farm where the yeast was captured, and the other 2 are song/album references.

I like #3 the best, wait, #2, wait, crap, all look cool. I like the simple style of them. How did you achieve the "break out's" or "blow out's", is it a plug in or something like that?. I guess I should ask what software you use first. Again, nice simple design.

I’ve been learning how to use Gimp but these designs I grab online and then messed around on Canva.com

Makes it really easy to pass the time until my beers condition lol

I have used Gimp for some things and checked out Canva. Looks like it's a nice online editor. Didn't spend much time there but might in the future. I'm going to try to replicate that (the blow out) with Paint.NET if I can, I have a few ideas how to try. Thanks for reply.

These are fantastically beautiful! I really like the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ones. The jelly one is incredible!

Very nice art work...but the blue text on orange is very difficult to read.. Just my two cents..

I don't find it difficult to read, but that might be because I am colorblind. The blue really pops against the orange. I am not a good representation though lol.

Our new label. Anyone for a “Tasty Beverage”

 

[Dgallo]

NZ style Pilsner

Double NEIPA

 

[Mike123]

The team is standing by for further instructions. Time to drink some of these. Maybe a tasting party is in order.

Made a similar label to last time, using the Avery style address labels... This time for a batch of Mangrove Jacks Juicy Session IPA. I thought I'd channel Juicy couture in the label design this time.

They're only for my benefit. After thee last time I used them, I've found they clean off really easily. I just fill the bottles with water from the hot tap, then stand them in a bowl of hot soapy water for 10ish minutes. They peel right off after that. If any glue is left over, a bit of Turpentine Substitute takes care of that, before another wash.

My favorite homebrew to date... a colonial era recipe modified to present notes of almond, vanilla, and cherry, with no bitter aftertaste, and perfect creamy head.

Love it! Nice job.

 

[Sebastian Weetabix]

I printed this to identify a pilsner home-brew.
The REAL artist is Marty Melberg.
I put this on the keg.

 

[goldcrown44_csg]

Love it! Nice job.

Thank you very much! Really appreciate that.

I’m not a graphic artist and I don’t claim to be, but I came up with a fun idea for a guava kettle sour I’m getting ready to brew. Tried turning a guava into a rocket ship lol. I sketched out the idea at work on a piece of paper, scanned it into Inkscape and went to work. Still obviously learning but I’m happy with the progress so far haha.

 

[user 62649]

I brewed a Red IPA two weeks ago. I'm no graphic artist but I like the way this label turned out.

LOLing. That is hilarious!!

 

[Mike123]

This label is for my Mike's Wicked Ale, an attempt at cloning Pete's Wicked Ale. I came pretty close....it is very good.

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Here’s a label I did up for my last batch of ale.
Nothing special... just a good ol’ beer flavoured beer.

 

[JAReeves]

Just bottled the Pear Cider after a 4 month aging.

 

[ClaudiusB]

My 2020 Easterfest beer label.

 

[vikyvar]

First of my special editions for 5th anniversary of my homebrewing.

 

[vikyvar]

And here is second one - bottled last friday.

Just really getting started making labels and using Photoshop. I've had the program forever, never used it until about a week and a half ago. I made my first label (Irish Red) use photoshop, and lets just say I'm not posting it for a reason.....it was not good.


Here are my second and third brews:

I wanted to get some sort of similarity between all the labels so figured this would be good to start. Like I said I just started with Photoshop, so still learning how to use things.

These are great. Where are you finding the images? Are you finding free art or do you subscribe? (As long as we are not retailing it doesn't matter - but I always like to find resources.)

We've brewed two more batches since I shared the Ice Shanty Ale label. I just print them on 3x4 removable Avery labels so we can reuse our bottles. Creating beer labels is a great outlet for my creative side, which rarely comes out to play these days as a holistic wellness practitioner. Because of time constraints the labels, the logo in particular, has been evolving as I have more time to play in Photoshop. Finally getting the brewery name logo as I want it. Sticking with our walleye fishing theme for each. We are bottling Elysian Space Dust soon...so far all I have in my head is a vision of a walleye with an astronaut helmet on...we shall see... Primarily I sketch my drawings on paper with colored pencils and pen, scan it in and play with it in Photoshop.

And our last brew from February was my recipe pick since I love the Breckenridge Vanilla Porter. I roasted pecans to add to the fermentation barrel, but the flavor needed to be more forward, IMO. Now that the IPA is getting bottled tomorrow, I plan to find a recipe clone of BB Vanilla Porter.

You can see how the walleye in the logo has evolved from the above label to the next. Now it is too green. One of these days I will have hours and hours to get it just right, but maybe not...LOL

 

[AleLover]

Here is my newest label which I created in Gimp.
Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

How are you doing the die-cut label? Are you having a printer print these for you?

 

[AleLover]

Here is my first.

Funny! A beer for the times!! I wanted to bring that theme into my next label, but the brewmaster nixed it - he doesn't want to be reminded of it in his beer. But I can really appreciate your humor!
