FolderBrander ...Mac OS X lets you keep folders in the Dock and the Finder's sidebar. This makes accessing frequently used folders quick and easy. The problem is that without customized folder icons, you cannot tell the folders apart. In many cases, having a short text label over an icon makes it much easier to tell what's in the folder. However, creating such an icon using a graphic app and an icon app can be difficult and time-consuming.

What's New
Version 2.3.5:
Added a proper error message when the folder is locked and cannot be branded.
Nice overall, but I'd like more control over text. I just wrote to Yellow Mug suggesting the following improvements:
1. Add choice of left, center and right justify.
2. Add ability to select vertical position of first text line.
3. Add ability to kern.
I know there are ways to do this manually, but being a noob, AND a granny, I have trouble remembering all the steps. This app makes it so much easier for folks like me to make folders that stand out and are more easily identified. I'm hoping the person who makes this app will add more variety soon, though, as I enjoy playing in the colors!
Like all Yellow Mug Software programs, simple and easy to use. Most of all, useful! New Mac graphics are great but many general folders look a like! Now you can spot them faster & easier with custom text making your work flow faster!

FolderBrander lets you quickly and easily alter the look of your folders. Just pick a base icon and type in a short text label. Two sliders let you rotate and skew the text to match the orientation and perspective of the base icon. To position the text, simply click and drag.

It would need a little update for it to be a little more modern.
