Here is one of my recent ones.
It's just a best bitter, but did it for 'fire engine' day at the museum I volunteer at.

The 2 blokes on the fire engine are the operations manager & the museum director, I'll leave it up to you to guess their trumpton names.

I love that museum! Last time I was there, there was a chap with some wild hops talking a bit about beer, was very interesting! That was a few months ago before I started brewing.

I also use canva.com. So easy to use and it's mostly free. I print them out at work and when I get home I spray them with some acrylic spray. Makes the shiny and really nice looking.

Semigloss 8 labels per sheet : works well for both 330ml and 500 ml bottles and the colour reproduction on the paper works well
I've also used Herma repositionable labels that soak off really quickly - 6 to an A4 sheet, a bit larger so not quite as easy to apply to 330ml size bottles. The beer labeliser site is good and you can download the graphic file to tweak in a simple graphics app.

Are these Avery labels Anna if so do you have the code
 
I use Avery on line template as well, easy to use and print with their label sheet.
However, I now just print cap labels, much less time consuming when cleaning bottles for re-use.
How do you print cap labels? are they stickers or do you order them custom printed?

I've looked at the Avery service but seems quite expensive. I just bought a sheet of custom sized labels off eBay and print on my basic colour inkjet printer.
 
I bought 100 sheets of 25mm paper labels from Avery for £20 incl.
I use their online template to layout my own artwork and text.
I then print on my own printer.
It works out at 20p a sheet for 48 cap labels per sheet.
I am happy with the price for reasonably good looking labels.

No, sorry, part of the fun for me is that each brew is slightly different & requires a different name and label.
Hence I knock them up on paint, print 9 to a piece of plain A4 on my old colour laser printer.
Then I get the fun of cutti g out & sticki g on with PVA (so they come off again)
 
I've heard that you can paint the back of a plain paper label with milk and it'll stick pretty well the the bottle when it dries, but then comes off easily. I've never tried it though
