Ushers Brewery, Edinburgh - beer label designs by C D'O Pilkington Jackson, 1954
Ushers's Brewers of Edinburgh were early adherents of a more 'corporate' look for their packaging and publicity. An important part of this was the re-design of their beer labels in c1953/4 - undertaken by the Scottish sculptor C D'O Pilkington Jackson. This colourful range (sadly only seen here in black and white) included both neck and bottle labels. Each type of beer was 'colour coded' - sweet stout, for example, black, yellow lettering and red bands.
