Stickers! #19

Closed nebrius closed 9 years ago

nebrius commented 9 years ago

So what does everyone think about making some NodeBots SF stickers for the meetups?

I hear that Sticker Mule is the best place to order from. I checked into them and they seem to run between 20 to 50 cents per sticker depending on type and quantity.

Personally, I'm fond of our Twitter logo, and I think it would make a good sticker. The hexagon stickers are pretty popular these days, but our current log fits a square/rounded corner sticker shape better IMO (which is also cheaper).

I have a bunch of yellow node bots stickers from node conf. They are square ones.,

I think we should consider be stickers, I would be more than happy to help with the design. Johnny five in the center would look pretty cool. Do we have an Svg of the logo? On Nov 10, 2014 8:47 PM, "Bryan Hughes" notifications@github.com wrote:

lol, I was a little confused about "be" :-P

I would be up for reworking the logo to fit a hexagonal space. I definitely prefer that size too. Personally, I would like to keep our purple color, as it matches our Twitter account (plus I love purple). I'm a little hesitant to use the Johnny-Five logo given that we work with the Tessel folks a lot and they are technically a competing ecosystem. I could be swayed though.

I dunno about an SVG of the original logo, @dshaw?

voodootikigod commented 9 years ago

The nodebots logos are here for all to use.

@SaraJo \o/ moar stickers! @dshaw good thinking

nebrius commented 9 years ago

I took a stab at a few variations on the sicker design, let me know what you think!

sticker_centered_border sticker_centered sticker_offset_border sticker_offset

MylesBorins commented 9 years ago

Number 3!!!

nebrius commented 9 years ago

It's my favorite too. Here's a slightly tweaked version of number 3 (fixes the cropping at the top and bottom, slightly increased the border width, slightly tweaked positioning of the logo). Let me know what you think:

sticker_offset_border

nebrius commented 9 years ago

lol...I thought I fixed the cropping, guess inkscape's export tightens the page border a bit. I'll fix it.

nebrius commented 9 years ago

Figured it out, it was an issue with the export process:

nebrius commented 9 years ago

So here's the price breakdown with Sticker Mule:

stickers

I feel like maybe 200 stickers is a good price/quantity amount? What does everyone else think?

Looking at their site, I don't think we can get them by the meetup next week :(. It takes 5 days plus shipping time from the time the proof is approved, which will also take about a day.

dshaw commented 9 years ago

200 sounds great. See if they'll do rush.

nebrius commented 9 years ago

We're good, have to order within the next 30 minutes though, so I'll just handle everything myself and we can sort everything out later.

nebrius commented 9 years ago

oh, and FYI they can guarantee delivery on the 19th with overnight shipping, so it will be $140 total.

nebrius commented 9 years ago

order has been placed, we'll have stickers!

nebrius commented 9 years ago

I just approved the proof from Sticker Mule. This is the final proof they sent me (the shadow is used for effect to indicate where they will cut, it will not be printed):

nebrius commented 9 years ago

And here they are!

Before I forget, here's a link to the SVG version of the sticker: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6nrv44qldykgdle/nodebotssf-sticker.svg?dl=0

Since we have stickers now, no need to leave this open :)
