Barrel Stout Label

Folks,
           A friend of mine is a fairly talented graphics designer. She has offered to design a label for me in return for a few bottle of good homebred.  I was thinking if most people were going to bottle the stout it might be nice to get a good label designed,  club logo and the likes incorporated. We could donate two bottles each and get a professionally designed label.. What ye think? We'd probably have to print them ourselves.

I'm afraid I'm out for this one chaps. My Mrs did up one for me already cos I thought I'd be gifting a few for Xmas.

imark

Yeah. I can ask herself for a link to share if it's not stepping on anybody's toes?  :-\

Post away mark..if there is a label already made no point in doing a second one..I can use the favor for another time

Sure do! I've got a PDF set out for A4 sheets of them.

like the Liffey Brewers logo on there. Can the be extracted from that label?

The label dimensions are 90x90mm as I intend to put it on 33cl bottles. Based on the rate the alcohol is increasing I'm even more certain it's not going in pint bottles now!

I'll get the alcohol adjusted closer to bottling to reflect the ABV at that time. I can share the PDF then for anybody that wants to print off some for their own bottles.

I recommend colour laser printer for this as the print is a wax and wont run when it gets wet.

Got the logo extracted see attached. my designer has informed me that the font used for the barrel was wood effect and so it probably doesn't make sense beyond the barrel project. She threw a couple of similar ones in the same format as examples.

I noticed the brewdog style second one she suggested. I have been known to have the occasional bottle. Power of suggestion!  :D

How about elimination? Middle one is one I like least.

First one has wood grain on it. It could be removed if it was chosen I suppose.
