    How many of you have designed a label for your homebrew? Would like to see them if you have any. If not, what did you name your homebrew?

    Finished mine today. Excited to get it bottled and labeled in two weeks when it's ready. Cheers! Hope some of you have some cool stuff to post. Look forward to seeing those designs!

    Here's mine:

    Outstanding graphics job!! You should offer your talent to a label-making company.

    I name each of my beers and make a label, but mine are primitive compared to your label. I just use MS Paint and steal little cartoon characters from places on the Internet. Really basic stuff.

    Well thank you! You should try a take on photoshop, it's really easy actually.

    Looks great! Love the name too.

    I'm a graphic designer, and have done some packaging design, but haven't done anything with my home brews other than write a 2-letter code on the cap with a sharpie... everyone always asks me when I'm gonna start labeling them. Maybe I'll make some for a big braggot that I've been wanting to try for some time now. It's gonna be sitting in those bottles for such a long time, might as well age it with style :slight_smile:

    As a graphic designer, i'm surprised you're not the first person to make your own labels!

    These ones are my newest ones. I like to hide my logo in places around the label art.

    I like how you put suggested glassware, I may have to steal that idea for myself. And the Wild things series is awesome! Nice work.

    Thanks! I would really like to find a way to get permissions to actually use those images/characters, as well as the ones from Hook as I have another series too.

    I use these little tags. They are blank on the inside so I can handwrite what the beer is along with info (abv, name, date brewed, etc.) about the beer.

    OP, great looking label!

    I had some really, really nices ones made at grogtag for my brothers wedding. Ended up make a bunch of beers, that were consumed so fast, I had to have the bartenders save my brother a few. Almost sold out 30 gallons at the "pre party".

    I'm not much for labels.. Just keg and write on the bottles with a sharpie. :wink:

    I like the rustic look. Also gota look into waxing. Not sure my capper is sealing them as tight as I was hoping for.

    If you two got together, you could make some seriously legit labels.

    Painters tape + sharpie = endless possibilities.

    I've made a few for friends & family... nothing as official as jbakajust1's, you really pack lot of cool information on the label, storage temperature, bottle style, & poetic stories. Lakeside Brewing's wooden 6-packs are amazing! I dabbled in wooden boxes for a line of bitters we made but gave up after hammering 100s of tiny nails.

    If I ever figure out how to post pictures, I'd love some feedback. I second iTunesUpdates' post - I think I might "borrow" jbaka's glassware idea.
