Forum Stickers!

Alright, so we had a thread about making stickers and pins. I moved it here so hopefully more people will see it, and I wanted an idea for how many people wanted them. Brian and Dan both posted their designs..





and drumma had this idea for pins



But having usernames on there seems like it would be an issue, because some of you have rather lengthy usernames. So if you'd like some stickers, please just say how many you'd like so there's a rough estimate of how many we need to get. You don't have to pay anything, but if you want to then that would help out the cost. I know some of you are young or don't have jobs, or whatever your situation is so I understand. You can also post any other sticker design ideas in here too.

No offence to anybody, but I really suggest that somebody on this forum with a good amount of knowledge and skill in Photoshop help design something as well.

Photoshop > MS Paint.

I'm gonna try doing something tonight, or while I'm at school during the day. Not saying it will be high quality, but I'd like to just try it.

I don't have any time today. But maybe in the next few days I could try something as well. I have Illustrator, an older version of Photoshop, and the most recent version of Elements. I'm not great with them, but it's still better quality than what you'll get from MS Paint.

yahh i too will fuck around with some stuff in photoshop when i get the chance later

I made this to show you guys the size it'll be, it's 8.5x1.5

The second sticker design is hard to read. If the colors were changed it's be awesome, though.

I definitely like that font, and the background is nice and uncluttered.

Again, after realizing that some usernames are really long and amazing - I am withdrawing the "button for shows" concept - but will support anyone that wishes to follow through with the idea.

I still think pins would be cool, maybe they could just be the sticker design we choose but on a smaller scale.

The second seems hard to read for someone who probably isn't studying a sticker and just giving it a passing glance. Also, our color blind friends.

i have photoshop i'll whip one up too.

i would like roughly a thousand. give or take.

i'm getting a job so payment will come sooner or later
for now lets say 3?

I liked the idea of having our usernames on the buttons but I understand that some people have really long names so it probably wouldn't work for everyone. I just have issues with walking up to some random person wearing the button and asking what their username is and introducing myself but I'm just really shy I guess.

I think I have enough supplies to make up to 50 buttons right away, it would take me a few days but I think it would be awesome to have them before the next tour starts.

I still really like the button idea too, I think that's fun. Whether it has the username or not, I still think it's a cool idea. If all else fails, we could just wear "Hello, my name is..." stickers.

If we are thinking of buttons - I like the alternative - with the forum name larger... usernames can be wrapped around the bottom of the button:



again - NO LAUGHING at my artwork !!
(please)

I think your sketch looks awesome, better than I could do.

I loooove the second sticker (the cluttered one). I agree that it is difficult to read, but my eyes were really attracted to the black/yellow combo.

You could shorten my name to Pants, that would be fine =D

Also, I really like the example you gave lex, the same one drumma pointed out and liked. That would be cool actually/

oh you dont have to shorten it that much how bout clearpants

Stickers and pins both sound like a great idea!!
I would help with ma graphic design skillls but unfortunatley ma mac is dead and i lost ma charger.
But if we are still trying to come up with designs in a few weeks when i get back to school I can definitly help.
Plus it would be another thing for me to add into my portfolio. Double Points!

bahaha clearpants...that sounds a little revealing.

Still too long - he will have to be EarPants

I'd just like to get them out before October, because putting them up at shows in the real point of all this. But you can all decorate whatever you want too.

Before October? That shouldn't be a problem. I'll be at school at the end of this week and probably have my computer up and running and working on designs by the next week.

Eh. :/

I like the dripping spray paint effect. I just got new brushes for PS, so I've been way into the paint splatter look. Probably a little too much.
