[Qgis-community-team] Stickers?

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

I think it will be great to have a bunch of stickers made - and maybe learn from my mistakes in the last run I did:

* Print on round sticker stock (I couldn’t organise round ones with the printer I worked with in Indonesia - they wanted to cut them out by hand :-P )
* Print on vinyl so they are more durable
* print on thick vinyl so they hide those pesky dell / apple / etc. logos etc.

I would prefer just the plain Q logo without text - a little bit of minimalism is nice.

Regarding the timeframe mentioned by Andreas, I think it is OK as long and we do not do such a huge print run that we are using the stickers for years to come. Actually they will become a collectors item maybe :-)

Regards

Tim
