Q: What’s great about designing a beer label?
A: It’s an excuse to visit The Dieline for some inspiration! (Somehow a quick trip here always turns into hours of happy browsing…)
A sampling:
- Why not turn “BYOB” into BYO Label?
- This 3D rum label appeals to both geeks & pirates
- I would love to find this holiday edition beer under my Christmas tree
- Creative “medal” metaphor: Virtuous Ales
- Beautiful illustration on Cerveceria Hacienda, from Pachuca Mexico
- I won’t be making any beer business cards, but this is a neat concept by Ampro Design
Enjoy! I’ll post pictures if I ever stop reading The Dieline long enough to design my own label.
