Stickers!

Hey,

In summary, guix-artwork needs more stickers, and once there are some
designs, maybe I can organise getting them printed.

So before FOSDEM (2017) I planned to make some stickers as I had quite
enjoyed the stickers from the previous FOSDEM, anyway through my own
disorganisation I only ended up getting one sticker printed. Apart from
the quantity, I think it worked out really well, here [1] you can see
some photos I took of it, and the SVG I created from those in the
guix-artwork repository [2]. I don't have any specialist printer or
knowledge, I just used one of the many online services that offer
sticker printing (in this case, this one [3]).

So, if others are interested, I can look at ordering some more stickers,
perhaps in time to bring along to the GNU Hackers Meeting in August
which I'm planning to attend.

Thanks,

Chris

I liked it.  :-)

Does the SVG at <http://cbaines.net/stickers/> has anything special
(like CMYK foobaring) besides stripping the name from the logo?  We can
definitely add it to guix-artwork.

I’m planning to attend and I’d be happy to decorate my laptop.  :-)

Cheers,

I've created a similar SVG to the last one, but with 5 smaller
stickers, and 7 even smaller ones [1].

I've just got a couple of sample sheets [2][3], and it looks
successful. Here is one of my computers complete with the 2 new sizes
of sticker [4].

I think the smaller sizes have worked out well, but I'm tempted to make
them a little bigger, as they are quite small.

If anyone coming to the GNU Hackers Meeting in August [5] would like
some sheets to take away, let me know how many, and I'll order them in
a couple of weeks.
