Futuramerlin.com (label from 2009 (see annotation) to either late 2010 or early 2011)

The start and end years are an estimate. There's some more info in the note below.

Note from https://musicbrainz.org/user/calculator.ftvb, who formerly ran/released music under this label: While the "renamed from" and "renamed into" relationships aren't quite precise, because I don't consider this to be the same label as https://musicbrainz.org/label/7fd42042-0177-4694-b35b-825f01ed4f01 or https://musicbrainz.org/label/ba667633-e694-44cc-90e5-37b476d6cedb , this is a successor to the former, and the latter is a successor to this; and as such this relationship type seems like the closest way to describe that connection, and more informative than not mentioning the connection.

The first release for the Futuramerlin.com label using the 2009/2010 typeface/graphic design style was in 2009, but Futuramerlin.com existed as a Web site branded as "futura" I think starting sometime in 2006/2007 (futura (dot) com was taken; futuramerlin.com domain was registered December 9th 2005 per whois), and rebranded to Futuramerlin.com some time later. There was also a release that had "WWW.FUTURAMERLIN.COM" on it as the only logo on the back, which was at least some time prior to 2009 — I think it was probably from either Christmas 2006 or Christmas 2007 going by my flaky memory: https://musicbrainz.org/release/6c7613a9-c888-4906-9f6f-2fc04912875c — possibly that is why I listed 2006 as the start date for the Futuramerlin.com label, even though there's the addition of the "WWW." and it used a different logo/graphic design style from the 2009/2010 releases. And yet, I didn't list any label for that release when adding it. That 2006 start date (added in https://musicbrainz.org/edit/12296750 / https://musicbrainz.org/edit/12700275) should perhaps be removed pending more hard evidence since I suspect it was just a guess. 2009 might make more sense as a start date based on the branding being fairly standardized across the 2009/2010 releases.

I'm unsure whether the Futuramerlin.com label ended in the last days of 2010 or sometime during 2011, so haven't added a date for that. The last release that I currently know definitively was on this label was released on December 25th, 2010: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/13762049 (I might find more info about some of the early 2011 releases with more digging.)
