10 great examples of vintage fruit crate label design

January 6, 2010

I’m working on some ideas for a mural design for a potential client.  They suggested I check out FruitCrateArt.com which has a huge collection of vintage fruit crate labels.  These are my favorites from the site.

Remember the days before Photoshop and Illustrator?  I don’t.  This is great design with a texture you don’t see in modern computer-driven design.  Makes me want to pick up a paintbrush.  I might have to if I’m going to pull off this job.

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ASKED about the background photo on this site. It was taken on the beach by Fort Moultrie on the harbor side of Sullivan's Island, SC. The old, wooden sea wall has been there as long as I've lived in Charleston. The beach is a great place to watch the ships and shrimpers come in and has one of the best views of downtown Charleston.
