I'm all in favor of other folks giving me ideas for labels, or even full fledged labels. The deal is this, though: No matter how nifty the label art is, no mater how awesome the graphics, it has to make me want to brew the beer. I've gotten two from Fark over the last four or so years, one was "Mos Eisley Space Porter", which I brewed, and the other was "It's a Trappist, Ackbar Abbey Ale" which I haven't brewed yet (but I will one day).
If you decide you want to do a label for one of my beers, the words "Gamma Hootch" or "Gamma Hootch Brewing Company" pretty much have to be on the label. "Fairfax, Virginia" and "In Cerevisium Vires" are optional. Text must be legible enough to read at 500x500 px on a 1280x960 screen (I have good eyes though. More concerned about weird fonts than small ones.)
If I do run across a beer that I have to brew but am at a loss for a label, I will throw it out here and see what y'all can come up with.
And with that, here are the ones that I have bottled in the last week:
