ashleyfarley commented 6 years ago

I set up a gmail address - openconcascadia@gmail.com. I had added a note in the Google Doc asking how to best share the password - working on design now and will post an draft for feedback soon.

dasaderi commented 6 years ago

WOW, @ashleyfarley you rock! Thank you!

ashleyfarley commented 5 years ago

Ok. I am coming to the conclusion that I am not the best person to work on a logo. I used the free version of Canva, but it's pretty limited. The size should fit the square of the hex sticker dimensions so the rest would be background color and a border. The letter is a little hard to read so need to fix that...

Does anyone else want to take a crack at a logo/sticker? Does this spark any ideas? Thanks!!

dconner3 commented 5 years ago

I am going to ask a colleague if she has time to take a crack. What are the dimensions of a typical hex sticker?

ashleyfarley commented 5 years ago

Awesome! It is 5.08 cm (2") by 4.39 cm (1.73") here is the link for more details http://hexb.in/sticker.html

I explained the mission statement and vision for OpenCon Cascadia and my colleague has two ideas, but she will need at least a week to put one together. Are able to wait?

ashleyfarley commented 5 years ago

I would say of course! That's very kind of her and will totally get credit.

These are "very rough" drafts from Amy Stewart, Reed College Library's Digital Resources Specialist. She wanted to get feedback from the group. She said to ignore "the ugly text (the app I was using doesn’t have a text feature). I would clean it all up in photoshop so any wobbly lines you see would become crisp and geometric."

ashleyfarley commented 5 years ago

Awesome! I really like the second one.

rchampieux commented 5 years ago

These are awesome! Please thank her. I prefer the second one too!

dconner3 commented 5 years ago

Sounds like there is a growing consensus around option 2. Is there any feedback or suggested changes I should give to the artist?

ashleyfarley commented 5 years ago

@dasaderi Do you have a preferred printer for the stickers? If so it might be good to check what the cost/limit is for colors. We might been to simplify the number of colors in the logo - otherwise I do not have any other feedback.

dasaderi commented 5 years ago

@dconner3 Thank you so much to you and your friend. I also like the second one, but with a different font for the OpenCon Cascadia, which is what she is suggesting anyway. THANKS again for the work!

As far as places to get the stickers, I used Treehouse stickers before, which is a local sticker company and was happy one time and unhappy the second time. So I might contact them again and ask for a discount for this batch since I complained but never got them to fix the wrong dimension of one of my PREreview stickers batch. :)

dconner3 commented 5 years ago

Here is a cleaned up version of #2 with a nicer font. What do people think? I like it!

logo

ashleyfarley commented 5 years ago

I love it! My only comment would be, if possible, to move the OA logo in the middle up a little bit or fill in the rest of the middle with green (no grey). It looks a little unbalanced (or that's just me).

I've also started a section in the Appendix of our Google Doc to map out a Communications Plan with suggested content to help everyone strategically and easily share the announcement. Please feel free to add to it!

rchampieux commented 5 years ago

I love it too! I see what you're saying @ashleyfarley and agree. Thanks for creating the appendix also.

dconner3 commented 5 years ago

Ok, here is a new version with the Open Access logo moved up a bit based on feedback from @ashleyfarley.

logo_v2

rchampieux commented 5 years ago

@ashleyfarley @dconner3 I have some access to some grant funds and can get at least a substantial batch of stickers printed asap.

ashleyfarley commented 5 years ago

Since I think we are pushing back on making registration live, while we work out the details we can have Nov 2nd - Nov 4th as the go live date for the website/save the date. By then we should have the website updated enough to provide most details (and certainly let me know how I can help).

dasaderi commented 5 years ago

@rchampieux @lwinfree I can expense the stickers on Mozilla budget. Do you want me to do this? How many do we want to order? 200?

dasaderi commented 5 years ago

Just emailed mozilla to ask for funds for stickers. I'll keep you posted.

lwinfree commented 5 years ago

awesome! Yes I would get 200, although you might have to order more than that. I've used sticker robot before & liked them (although they take a while - at least a month)

rchampieux commented 5 years ago

Yes, thanks @dasaderi!
