Idea #11622: Redesign the Ubuntu ShipIt Sticker.

bug This idea was marked as being not considered for implementation the 21 April 12.
Written by loneowais the 29 Jul 08 at 12:42. Category: Others. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: Won't implement
Rationale
The included Sticker with the Ubuntu CD is too large & kind of huge.

Please ship good ubuntu stickers witn the cd


The stickers background should not be white.. It should be transparent so that it'll look more professional on a laptop body, matching with the body color.

Possible options
1> Powered by Ubuntu Logos

2> Just Ubuntu LOGO

* Downscale the stickers
* Use matte paper
* Use a more creamy background, pure white is aggressive

Solution #4: Alternative sticker design for laptop market
Written by tuxxy the 17 May 09 at 01:11.
An alternative sticker design is necessary and the user should be able to request either style sticker they require or Canonical could provide a number of each sticker design for the user. The new sticker design should be aimed at the laptop market so reduced size and with a badge style design, instead of the large white Ubuntu stickers currently supplied. Included below is a suggestion for the sticker design which is similar to the white System76, Inc. Ubuntu powered by stickers. These new stickers do not have to be white and could be transparent or metallic type. The second attachment illustrates the size of the suggested sticker.

Solution #5: Ship in scalable graphic format
Written by TuxHHG the 22 May 09 at 15:42.
If i need funny ubuntu stickers, i download them and scale with oo-draw to exactly dimensions. The result was printed to adhesive folies like data becker / canson. If the graphics are big enough, every downscale is very exact. Upscaling need some other graphic formats like svg oder ps.
My solution: Distribute big or scalable graphics.

Solution #6: Transparent stickers
Written by stoffel the 23 May 09 at 14:50.
Stickers should be transparent. In this way you can stick it to a black laptop, a white laptop, a grey laptop, and so forth.

Okay....I like the stickers! They are awesome. Though I would probably want to stick with the White background just because my Centrino Duo sticker has a white background.

Okay...maybe a little OT ....but it felt great to peel off the Windows Vista Capable sticker from my Laptop.

On another idea, one of the mods said the stickers were being replaced with new vinyl ones

I'd like to see Ubuntu offering metallic case stickers like these:
