The Black Duck Brewery lable was a very funny thread. Gave me a few out loud laughs.

I'm not boasting, but I've actually had a few of the Black Duck Bitter! Very enjoyable.
It's on tap at an Italian/Pizza restaurant two minutes from my home, about the only outlet for it so far.

You might get a few designs like the Black Duck Brewery on AHB

Had to do it, lads...

That's gold!

Love all the references too.

I'll have to print this out and stick it next to the mirror Grog sent me.

Blatently infringing upon copyright, I've slightly modded Bullfrog's design.



For the man that gave us DSGA I think that is befitting that we all work together to devise a brewery name along with a label .

Cheers Hirns

Well, because my ridiculously terrific graphic design skills impressed you so much, I've decided to go ahead and throw in a freebie for you, too. I will start invoicing for any more of these terrific labels that I make for you.

If you're like me, then you're currently brewing a Christmas Ale -- I've kept the French theme running a bit and even thought up a name for you.



Enjoy

Oh, I've also just noticed that some text was cropped on one of the wings. That was intentional and is my stylistic flare coming through.

That's it, Hirns! Sending my snail around to you with a Cease & Desist. Please expect him in 4 years time.

I would be scared. That snail looks mighty angry.

And he used to be such a happy Christmas snail. This is what a propensity to be overly-litigious does to people...and snails, I suppose; makes them bitter and angry. He set out a good number of hours ago and is already almost at the bottom of the driveway here. I'd look out, Hirns -- at this rate he'll be knocking on your door in only a couple of years!

Hoping to settle out of court! But just got back from the hardware store with (gotta be cheaper than a QC:



Can anyone tell me if this stuff stays active for at least two years ?

Cheers

At this rate i will have the bar decked out in paintshop labels in no time!

Just one small point of note given that i am just a tad particular about getting the facts straight.

The bottle refund in SA is 10c.

I haven't made a cider before but my wife is keen on me making one.
So I will be making up my first batch soon
....I am going to call it "Dicken's Cider".
You can never have enough opportunities for the Mrs to ask if she can have my Dicken's Cider!!!

I hope that that doesn't have copyright, It's hilarious.

And I'm sure they aren't the first.

Yeah, I must admit that I heard the name on an audio from an American radio station. Still pretty funny though.

I'll be serving it to her in one of my LONG tall glasses (definitely no shot glasses at my place!).

And just think of all the drinking positions we could try? Missionary, doggy, wheelbarrow....I could even write a book and call it the KarmaCider

what about mount the "bull brewing" (angus creek)

Been flat-chat at work this week, but I think I'm going to have to help SimonG with some of my world-class label design skills on the weekend! That's definitely one brew that needs some MSPaint to its name.

Okay, so I know that there is an actual product named this, but I'm having fun making shit pictures in paint, so here's my most recent one:

Priceless, are you guys just doing those with mspaint?

Yeah, I'm only getting my paint on. I actually am not too bad with photoshop, when professional-looking items are required, but I find paint to be that much more fun when it comes to making dodgy beer labels.
