Designers wanted! Let's make some FES stickers..
« on: February 22, 2011, 02:28:08 PM »
I have the week off and I'm stuck at home with a bad cold, so I have too much time on my hands.  So far, this has resulted in me clearing a 3-week backlog of FES-related emails, scanning a 150-page book and uploading a bunch of new stuff to the Library.  Now I've got it in my head that I should get a batch of FES stickers printed so I can include them with membership packs and t-shirts and whatnot.  I found a place that will batches of 500-1000 round 69mm diameter full-color stickers at a pretty reasonable price.. and they'll do multiple designs instead of just having an entire batch of the same design.  I can do 1, 2 or 4 designs.  I figured it would be best to do 4 designs.  2 of them will probably be things I've done before as badges/buttons:



But that leaves 2 more.  Anyone want to have a crack at designing a sticker?  If you come up with a good design and I end up using it, I'll send you a batch of stickers and badges and whatnot.  I'm pretty flexible about the designs as long as they're 1) interesting and 2) related to the Flat Earth Society in some way.  I've uploaded a bunch of FES-related images in case anyone wants to use them in some way: Flat Earth Image Pack

The printer has templates online for .PSD and .AI files.

Silly question ... but in the second badge why have you taken the picture of the Flammarion woodcut which is from the book "L'atmosphere: meteorologie populaire", and then written "Earth Not a Globe" on top of it, which is the title of an entirely different book?

The one on the left looks good, but I would suggest that the text should be on a curved path to better match the "roundness" of the logo.

Just be careful of any potential copyright/licensing issues.

This one's not really a sticker. More of a T-Shirt or perhaps poster.

A T-Shirt or poster to spread your ignorance?

Just put all that on the back of the shirt.


From your second link: "the Apollo Lunar Module wasn't pretty"

No crap. It looks like a couple of high school students threw it together on a weekend.

If you enlarge the original image to full size in your browser (2349px x 2373px) and look at the white walls of the module you'd notice that the walls aren't even sealed together properly. There are gaps in several places.

Quit memberating

Also I like Tom's first sticker a lot.  Unfortunately I don't think it'd fall under fair use though, and could end up running Daniel into copyright issues.

You should note he's a moderator.

Also Daniel, I co-own a design firm.  I'll get us on it right away.

edit: I talked to our designer;  Earliest we can start it is on Sunday.  So sometime that next week we'll post it.  I assume this won't be too late?

Yeah, of course.  This isn't particularly time-sensitive.

Slightly off topic, but would it be possible to buy a goody-pack of stickers and other little toys and what not. Please?

I was watching Ancient Aliens earlier and the guy with the crazy hair and the weird tan made reference to people in medieval times believing the earth was flat.  They didn't actually, but that's neither here nor there.  As he was saying that, they panned over a woodcut that I hadn't seen before.  After spending entirely too long screen-capping and splicing bits and pieces together to remove logos, fill in gaps, etc.. here's the result.  I like it.

When designing buttons, you need to remember the limitations of form factor that you're dealing with, most significant being size and printing process.  This is a case where "less is more" needs to be your mantra.
