Stickers

[The-Compiler]

Do we want SPS17 stickers?

I ordered stickers before at Flyeralarm and was really satisfied with them - and they're really cheap!

For example, for DIN A8 Stickers (5.2 x 7.4cm) 1000 stickers would be 33 CHF (100 are 26 CHF :wink:).

If someone can take care of a design, I can take care of ordering them and getting them to the conference.

I'm okay with this :)

[jakeret]

Cool idea

[The-Compiler]

As for the design, what about just filling up python-summit-with-text.svg at the top/bottom so it fits on an A8 sticker, with a little margin at the left/right?

Can I order them and then get the money reimbursed somehow? How many?

[href]

Why not just use the logo without text? Ideally cut around the edges? Or were you thinking of having rectangle stickers?

As for ordering, I'd wait until we get the sponsoring money. Also, the treasurer should have the last say on this :)

[The-Compiler]

Logo only with a square sticker (4x4 or 5x5cm I'd say) would work as well, sure!

[href]

In this case I'd vote for circle stickers.

[chiesax]

I agree lets wait at least for signed sponsor contracts and membership fees. 33chf should not be a problem, I can then refund you by bank transfer...

[dbrgn]

I'd also vote for circle stickers with the logo only, if that's available :)

[chiesax]

We have 80CHF on the account, I would wait for the first sponsor payment for the stickers...

[href]

@The-Compiler You got the stickers already, right? If so, please close this tickets (and do bring them to any future meeting ;)

[The-Compiler]

No, I didn't order anything yet. I guess I could now?

It'd be great if someone else could take care of doing a design though, my Inkscape just crashes... :cry:

Probbably just the SPS logo in a circle (which is not part of the SVG), with 4cm diameter (smaller/bigger ones would als be available, but I think 4cm is about right).

See the datasheet for details.

[chiesax]

Yes we can order them, just keep the receipt and I'll refund...

[The-Compiler]

I'll order as soon as someone can give me a graphic conforming to the datasheet then (PDF or TIF, 300dpi, also see this). Can't really easily do that with a broken Inkscape...

[dbrgn]

I'll give it a try.

[dbrgn]

Something like this?

Or do you want the name on it too?

[dbrgn]

Here's a version with text and border:

[dbrgn]

@The-Compiler it looks like they want CMYK. Did you order with them in the past? Was RGB fine too? Inkscape doesn't support CMYK natively.

[The-Compiler]

I think RGB would be fine. Last time I used scribus to assign CMYK colors and tested them on a normal printer FWIW. I can do that part though, Scribus seems to work fine here :wink:

FWIW I prefer the KISS version without text, just looks more clean/simple/professional to me. What do others think?

[chiesax]

Yes I also prefer the version without text, I don't like the fonts and their size, and there is too much text.

[chiesax]

Maybe just have these words: Swiss Python Summit Association: And each word at 45deg from the other, as to form a swiss cross:

'python' Swiss SNAKE Summit Association

[chiesax]

[chiesax]

... I do not have time now to make curved text, just to give an idea...

[chiesax]

[chiesax]

Maybe we can remove association?

[The-Compiler]

I agree with that, but I think I still would prefer the one without any text.

[dbrgn]

I'd prefer the version with the name and URL, but the plain version would be fine for me too.

don't like the fonts

It's the one we use on all our print materials.

there is too much text

What if we only leave the URL and remove the name?

[jakeret]

The one without the text looks really nice but somehow it might not be directly clear what's being represented. I also like the one with the URL - makes it much clearer. Maybe color the text?

[dbrgn]

This would be the one with URL only:

[chiesax]

can you try this but with the dark blue color of the pyramid, or the dark yellow color of the pyramid? Looks more harmonic to me if we use the same colors as the logo.

[dbrgn]

[chiesax]

I like it more, but it's somehow asymmetric. Maybe we can keep the "Swiss Python Summit" on top, with the same color?

[dbrgn]

[dbrgn]

And here's a version with slightly smaller logo (the current one looks a bit "crowded"):

[chiesax]

which fonts are you using, I want to try another one just for fun

[chiesax]

... anyhow this last one is a good candidate to me...

[dbrgn]

It's Open Sans.

Here's the SVG for further experimentation:

python-summit-sticker.svg.zip

[chiesax]

thx

[The-Compiler]

I'm not sure if we can do the border - they show a "Sicherheitsabstand" of 4mm there. Either we can't print anything in those 4mm, or we should probably print the border bigger (over the "cut" of the sticker) to make sure there are no white spots. Not sure...

[chiesax]

[chiesax]

Don't have Open Sans, so I used Sans. Just to give an idea. This way we do not have the border problem.

[The-Compiler]

That URL is wrong - the correct one is a bit longer, and I think to look good it needs a bit more space around it. But then it'll probably be too small.

[dbrgn]

That'll probably be too small if the diameter of the entire sticker is 4cm.

[chiesax]

true

[chiesax]

[chiesax]

[chiesax]

... not easy ...

[The-Compiler]

FWIW @href, @dbrgn and I earlier agreed on having the logo without any text :wink:

It's still what I prefer, followed by my initial suggestion (having python-summit-with-text.svg on a rectangular A8 one).

I don't think we'll get the text to look good on a round sticker with a big logo.

swiss compromise
