Beer Labels And Logos

[raven19]

Argon, I prefer the circular ones personally. They look top shelf!

+1 circular ones are much better. Very professional looking logos. I would drink the beer based on the logos alone..

Great looking labels argon, +1 for the circular labels, they are making me thirsty just looking at them!

That's the idea... give some false hope before serving up some isohopped, low-carb, mega-lager h34r:

Thanks for the feedback... starting to take shape now. Backgrounds on the Autumn and Winter need a bit of work. (BTW the logos are transparent, which is why they're showing as grey.)

Still a little tweaking to do, might be problematic trying to fit the text in for a 'Central-Bavarian-Dunkler-Heffe-Weizenbock'(took me about 10mins to type that) <_<

Can't remember if I've posted my labels up in this thread, but I was playing with them this evening so I figured I would post them up anyway. When I first started out, I came up with this logo which has been my avatar up until now:


Once I went all-grain I decided the beer wasn't too dodgy any more and thought it was time for a change of name for the brewery. Hence the 'Wild Elephant Brewery' was born, and new logo created. I eventually got a chest freezer with keg setup and decided that some big labels were needed for the taps so I started getting labels printed up as 6x4 photos and they go under the taps in a magnetic photo sleeve. Here's some of the labels.

They are all created with Inkscape and the elephant was traced over from a photo I found.

I finally got enough inspiration (from the more well polished labels) to get off my @rse, play around with Inkscape and come up with (IMHO) a half decent label.



PS. I've got the grain cracked for this beer and am hoping to brew it tomorrow.

Been playing about in Photoshop seeing as I have made the move to the darkside I though I should have something to label with



Stock standard and just a couple of beer types below

few labels i've knocked up so that everyone knows how much they are drinking and so i don't pull the wrong thing out of the fridge.

note the ginger beer has a boys version and ladies version.

Sweet and spicy ginger beer

Powerful Owl which was powerful ale after a few too many and the name stuck a belgian style leffe copy

so i stuck with the mispronunciation on the hogaarden clone

Had a go at making a label using cs3 illustrator, found a great little "how to" page that was pretty easy to follow and considering I've never used the program before I'm happy with the results. Here's the link on "how to create a beer label" .

And here's the label.

Go Illustrator CS4 all the way. Add Photoshop if you're gonna touch up photos, colour corrections etc. But for pure graphics, cartoons, labels... can't go past illustrator.

It's vector based which gives you a better image than the bitmap nature of photoshop (when adding text and the like)

Photoshop is easier to learn though. My labels are 90% Illustrator 10% Photoshop

I'm and Architect and I have Master Collection. I do alot of graphical work and I don't use all that much of CS4. Use mostly;
- Indesign (presentations/reports. Good substitute to MS word when adding images)
- Photoshop (touching up CAD 3D images and photos)
- Illustrator (touching up sketches and adding colour etc)
- Premiere Pro (flythroughs/client presos, adding music)
- Acrobat Pro (binding pdfs/3D pdfs/Red Markups etc)
- Soundbooth (only very occasionaly)
Design Premium is probably all that I realy need.

Tony,
Adobe software is very expensive if your not going to use it often the cost is not worth it.

really basic stuff can be done in power point i just spilt the page into 6 tiles but you'll need some more powerful stuff if you want to generate your own images.

Go with Inkscape completely free, I reckon it's easier to use that Illustrator and you'll be knocking up labels in no time. Some good tutorials on the site as well to get you started.
