Somehow I ended up with a Chef sticker that is a good frame of reference for what I had imagined the Orlando Devops stickers to look like, as far as the size, border, custom cutout (Sticker Mule calls it "die cut"), and material (matte).

Based on the existing logo that we put together, without the Orlando DevOps below, it'll end up more like 3 x 1.5 I think. 3 x 2 with the "Orlando DevOps" on it. That chef logo is probably sold as a 2 x 2. Maybe yeah we with something like 2 x 1.5"? We need to get the logo uploaded and take a look at it online with the ratios.

[snohio]

Sorry for the rotation but since more escapes. I still think 2x3 ish. The devopsdays tampa is 3 x 4. I like the smaller ones because i can fit more on my laptop. But with a much detail as we have on the logo any smaller it'll get blurry.

@snohio, do you know who prints the Chef stickers?

[snohio]

My guess is Printfection. That is where all of our swag comes from. Their 2 x 2 die cut decals are about 35% higher than than stickermule.

[snohio]

Here are the files for the decals. I'm not sure how they will die-cut these but mostly probably just rounding the corners much like the Chef one above..

Let's do this

I say we just use Stickermule and get it done! I'd probably start with 300, but we can talk about that. And we'll have to figure out the money thing. 😸

Just ordered 10 sample stickers from StickerMule. Should be in by 9/22.

[mbuchoff]

10 stickers came in!

[snohio]

I think those turned out amazing! Do you think the size is right? Should we just order a few hundred now? Wait to get feedback from Thursday??

[mbuchoff]

I think the size is perfect. I'd feel better getting a second opinion, so I'll show them to Dan on Thursday and see what he thinks.

[snohio]

Yep. I think that is perfect. I'll be there Thursday as well. I'm not sure if I am going down on Wednesday or not. I might just to get a space at WeWork and focus on my presentations for next week.

[mbuchoff]

Awesome, see you there. Btw, you fondly mention We work a lot. I'm guessing it's hard to focus where you live.

[snohio]

I just want to be out of my house! I finished designing and now 3d printing a part for the boys robots. That's the "hard to focus" stuff.

[mbuchoff]

@snohio, @RecoveringChef, our stickers have arrived!

[snohio]

Awesome! Thanks so much. First stack of hopefully many!
