Hexagon Stickers?

[nelsonic]

Showcase: http://hexb.in/ Spec: https://github.com/terinjokes/StickerConstructorSpec @alanshaw where did TableFlip get their hex stickers printed? Suppliers: https://github.com/terinjokes/StickerConstructorSpec/wiki/Vendors Anyone used https://hexi.pics/help_en (recommended by @maxogden)

[alanshaw]

We got ours from diginate. They also now occasionally send me a money off offer to order more.

[nelsonic]

Oh... interesting. @alanshaw Just did a quick quote: https://www.diginate.com/quote/?product=metallic-sticker&shape=custom&material=sparkly&supply_option=individuals&diameter=&width=5.08&height=5.08&quantity=100&quote= What kind of "money off offer" (promo code please... :wink: )

[nelsonic]

@alanshaw did you get the dimensions of your stickers to match the Nodeschool (etc.) size? would you mind sending us the precise details for the order you placed? (please/thanks!)

[nelsonic]

@iteles can you jump on this or assign it to someone else who can do stickers? e.g: can we pay someone with photoshop skills £20 to convert our existing sticker into a Hex and get it off to the printers on Tuesday? we _need_ these ...

[iteles]

@nelsonic No problem, hadn't quite realised we needed these! On my list for this weekend.

[nelsonic]

Its not "urgent" the way getting our app working is... so it can wait another couple of weeks ...

[nelsonic]

But it would be good to have them for the next lnug or LWC for example ...

[iteles]

The next LNUG is 23rd September (which means even if we got them to the printers yesterday they wouldn't be ready on time) but we'll have them for the next one :+1:

[nelsonic]

Yeah, sorry I meant the next one ...

[iteles]

Good example with ai file: https://github.com/nodeschool/nodeschool.github.io/tree/source/images/make-a-sticker

[nelsonic]

Sweet. who do we know that can do this?

[iteles]

This is approximately a 10 minute job for anyone with AI, or $35 on a remote working website.

[iteles]

What we have to decide is whether to include dwyl.io on the sticker or not (given I don't think I've many a hex sticker with a website on it... except possibly workshape.io)

[nelsonic]

I think its pretty pointless to not include the website on the sticker. (IMO)

[alanshaw]

Same as here https://github.com/nodeschool/berlin/issues/3#issuecomment-60057104

[iteles]

Thanks @alanshaw! :+1:

[iteles]

@nelsonic These have been allocated as a task and we should have the files by the end of the week

[iteles]

Just waiting on decisions in the next couple of days to order :+1:

[nelsonic]

LIke it. (but don't love it) ... Print-em. How many? 100?

[iteles]

I have to say, I think the version with the border looks nicer:

[nelsonic]

@iteles Lets order 50+50 of border / no-border and let the people decide. Please.

[alanshaw]

FWIW I'd make the border width the same size as the line width for the heart (if it's not already) and make both the heart and dwyl a little smaller so they're further from the edge. I'd also make sure the distance between the border and the text/heart are equal al the way round. i.e. it looks as though the distance from the "d" to the bottom left border is less than the distance from the top left of the heart to the top left border.

[nelsonic]

Agree with Alan. :+1:

[iteles]

Thanks @alanshaw, totally agree.

[nelsonic]

@iteles did you get the final design with Alan's suggestion of equalising the border and logo width?

[iteles]

Score.
