Various Fanboy Stickers

[Madhias]

We have a cutting table at work, which i want to use for making some stickers. I ordered for now 3 colors of Premium cast PVC film from Orafol. IBM M Blue, Cherry Red and Green.

Spoiler:

I tried to get the best matching color for the IBM Blue:



I think i'll make some M's and some other designs, for the car (composite to the popular Apple sticker everyone has), the laptop, etc. As i see ducks are popular? Why is that (CC ducky caps, Mr. Webit)? It remains a mystery for me. For example make an IBM styled duck.



If someone wants a sticker, i'm happy to make it. Or some good ideas, not only boring logos.

[Compgeke]

You mean an IBM Duck?

[Madhias]

Something like that, yes!

[scottc]

I would be up for IBM and IBM-duck for sure, if they're cool enough to make!

[Hak Foo]

The ALPS slider shape would be a good, simple design. Sell it in a variety of colours-- green, blue, white, off-white.

[rindorbrot]

I'd be up for some IBM and cherry stickers, too.

Nice! I would love to get some Topre stickers. Would you consider ordering another colour if I reimbursed you the cost?

I wanted to do also Topre stickers, i think it's just a darker blue? I didn't really find anything regarding the correct color, only some logo images.

[002]

I think it's more of like a faded Cadbury purple?

[Madhias]

That's really a purple touch! These are the available colors.

I tried to find a similar color (it's not really accurate, but more or less you'll see what you get).

[002]

Ohh nice - for me it's a toss-up between 196 and 406 -- leaning more toward 196. Which do you prefer?

[Madhias]

I'd also say 196!

[cookie]

Topre is appealing!

[Muirium]

Topre and IBMmmmmm…

[Dubsgalore]

I'd love to nab some IBM and Cherry ones

[Daniel Beardsmore]

The logo on their website currently is more blue:

The first one is probably the closest.

[002]

Hmm you might be right actually, having looked at their website. It doesn't help when a Google search on Topre logo yields quite a few different shades.

[Daniel Beardsmore]

The one above is from the wiki, and I took that from an actual Topre PDF, so it looks like Topre aren't too fussed about the exact shade. (At some point I should really redo that logo as SVG.) Google Images suggests a dark blue that is also fairly close to the first image.

[Compgeke]

Topre SVG?



Edit: Boredom makes a Topre-IBM mix.

[Madhias]

That's funny, and now put the Cherries aside

[Compgeke]

IBM Cherry Topre?


Cherry IBM in red?


In blue?


Cherry Topre?


Eh, this is getting a tad ridiculous.

[002]

Haha! I like the first one. Three heavyweights in one. If only we could get Alps in there somehow.

[Kurk]

Haha, that's hilarious!

[Compgeke]

Oval like the old Alps logo had?

[002]

I think that would only work if you had the letters fill out the oval like the Alps one does.
I like the old Alps logo, too

[Madhias]

The Alps logo is g-r-e-a-t!

[facetsesame]

IBM Cherry Topre?

That's perfect. I'd buy that as a badge and put it on a keyboard.

[Daniel Beardsmore]

Almost. The gaps are too narrow ;-)

How do pvc film stickers work? They have a transparent background? White? No background? It sets limitations, e.g. check the D of deskthority here:



The IBM style logos would be hard with no background?
