telfonian,
If you come up with a label you want to post, go for it! As for neck labels, Sometimes I'll make one to go with a particular label - I'm definitely going to do that with Rapier Wit - sometimes I use one neck label for a series of beers (All four Up All Night Stouts have had different labels, but the same neck label), and sometimes I just use one of several default neck labels I made up. I'll attach a couple.
Flyman,
If you are ever going to be in the greater Washington DC area, PM me. Well get together and knock back some homebrew.
Mister Coaster,
Good point about the copyright. I do understand this. Were I doing graphic arts as a full time gig, then I would have the time to do, for instance, a couple of studies of Rapiers, pick the best, and flesh it out. Chances are I would just draw it freehand and scan it. However, as a hobby, I don't actually (usually) put a ton of time into these.
Your point is also taken about the filters (and even moreso about the styles - though you didn't mention it specifically), Used judiciously and sparingly, they can enhance. Used more, they can look very amatuerish to downright lazy. Used too much, and they can make everything seem forced.
Thanks for the feedback though! I will pay closer attention to both those aspects of design.
And now, some neck labels:
