Beer Labels And Logos

[Matt]

I highly recommend Inkscape for labels. It's free, and does everything that Illustrator will do (well, anything you'd ever need Illustrator to do, anyways), and it's less than 9mb to download. Making text follow curves or the outlines of shapes is as simple as drawing the shape, writing the text, selecting them both, then selecting Text -> Put on Path - see here (scroll down).

Label for my latest CACA (Cream Ale).

[Finite]

Love it warren. Up the corn!

 

[Trough Lolly]

You know you're not a real brewer until you have a logo!
I feel so inadequate.....sob!

TL the graphically challenged...

 

[Finite]

Heres one for a lager I made for the mates. Its a very easy drinking lager which i think is crap but im sure they will love. (were talking extra dry boys here *cue vomit*). Hopefully mine will get them start thinking a bit about home brewing. Then the next batch for them I will make it a bit better.

anyway scheisse means 'S*it' in German so i thought i would work on a piss take of that hehe. Plus my little story to go with it and give the boys some reading material. They can enjoy HB and learn about beer at the same time! :beer: :beerbang:

 

[AngelTearsOnMyTongue]

Love the Labels Finte.
Also the scheisselarger, which I am sure i would enjoy despite what you say.

Just a suggestion; the text on the "Tapped Admiral" (going around) was much easier to read than on the SL which I kept losing across the etching in the middle.

great all the same.

yeah i thought that too but I dotn think i can fit it in the other way

What about an additional section of the Label. Maybe at the bottom?



I agree, its great to have a little yarn on the beer. My "Winkle Pickers Brewery Labels had a story on them. And I like the designs.

Im curious to see the colour scheme against a bottle, or are they for taps only?

cheers

Yep thats a good sudgestion mate ill give that a try, Im trying the keep the whole shape simple as they are for bottles and I want to make it easy to cut out. Maybe I will make a square label.

Anyway heres Trough Lollys hawthorn inspired brewery logo. Just finished now. Let me know if you want any tweaking done TL:

Outstanding! That's great..thank you! :super:

 

[Matt]

"Farrer Ridge"? Is that like "Monash Heights" or "Kambah Mews"?

 

[peas_and_corn]

Finite- I love the stories! The one on the tapped admiral was great! It's up there with the squire etchings!

 

[Trough Lolly]

"Farrer Ridge"? Is that like "Monash Heights" or "Kambah Mews"?

Yes! It's sad, isn't it....! Almost as bad as "Old Griffith"!!

But, all the Kudos goes to Finite for an outstanding job - thanks for that! :beer:

 

[Franko]

Im still here creating guys,just working on something with Dane at the moment

 

[Screwtop]

Thank God your still there Franko, thought I had sent you into hyper warpdrive and you had vaporised.

 

[pokolbinguy]

Hey Franko,

i have been watching this thread with great interest. Was wondering how much you charge to make up one of those fantastic labels. PM me if you would like.

Cheers,

Pok

 

[vlbaby]

I've been watching this thread for a while also. You definitely have some talent there Franko. Keep up the good work mate!

vl.

 

[Millet Man]

Love it warren. Up the corn!

You don't truly love corn until you go 100%. h34r:

Cheers, Andrew.

 

[warrenlw63]

How does one sparge 100% corn?

[Franko]

Screwtop,

[Jase]

Great work Franko and Finite!!!!!!

Had a Porter Kembla at the Five ISlands Brewery today.



I think you guys should go there and redesign their labels and logos.



You've started an obsession!!!!!



Cheers,

Jase

forget the logos how was the beer? worth the trip?

Was thinking of taking the GF that direction and stopping by there

 

[Jase]

Finite,

Was heading down that way to visit a mate in hospital. Had half an hour to waste before visiting time, so my wife decided to go to the sale at WIN Ent Centre, so I went to the brewery and had a quick 1/2 pint of the porter.

Was quite nice. Only noticed the beer descriptions on the way out, will definitely go back to sample the other beers.

Cheers,
Jase

 

[Dazzling]

Anyone out there using inkscape that can help me with creating a banner type shape not unlike those seen in other peoples designs. Any help would be great, one saved to file and emailed would be perfect... :beer:
Cheers

[devo]

[Pumpy]

Vundabar Franko really has a tuetonic feel

I hope so.
