We are running low on the orange stickers that guybrush designed for us. They were awesome, thanks again guy. I want a new sticker, there is still some room in the upper right hand corner of my laptop that needs some attention:
I would like to order these stickers sooner than later, so game on! If you design one that the community likes, Hubski will pay to create it and send them out to whomever would like them.
Who is in? veen, insomniasexx, mk..... anyone can participate, I look forward to seeing what comes of this.
edit: I do like having the name "Hubski" and having "a thoughtful web" but we are definitely open to new ideas.
That was fun: 1. 3. 5. 7. Edit: And just to scratch an itch, I thought I'd throw in a Frank Stella inspired version: x. 
2. 
4. 
6. 
8. 
I don't know where to start, but I will say that this one is the most communicative:
sounds_sound, these are incredible. We all decided that #8 is the next sticker. We just want to know if it can say hubski.com, and maybe stand out a tiny bit more. Also what does it look like if the directions are switched? b_b says that left is etymologically associated with evil. :) I would love to do #7, but we can't afford it.
Don't hide behind the Latin b_b. Say it how it feel :) Edit: It's a tricky one, because if we aren't evil, then the rest of the world must be.
Thanks mk. Number 7 isn't going anywhere, if you change your mind. I'll cook up a handful of the rebel, with different tweaks, and we'll go from there :)
Wow! So many great ideas. It's interesting seeing people approach something from different angles or iterate on a concept. I really like 7, it captures the coffee-house creative discussion this place tends to foster. Although, it may not be the best for a sticker.
I really like this, but, as thenewgreen said, I'm not sure if it's because I'm already familiar with it. I like V3 best. I wonder if we can get something that brings in conversation or makes it more obvious that it's a bar or something. I'm totally not sure. The other version immediately read "you're invited....to sit at the bar and enjoy a drink and talk with friends" I don't know if this one reads bar enough. I don't know. Fuck I am exhausted. Let me think on it.
Try it with the normal logo as the dot on the "i" maybe in hubski. But I like it. I can't tell if I would know what it was if I wasn't already familiar with your original concept though. I'll show it to some people that are unfamiliar with the old version.
I like it without text, but theres enough space for some if you want it. I used the same colour scheme as insomniasexx.
I'd like to have a go at it myself. Will try this weekend.
Great idea! I'd love to help. But that brings some questions: - will they be square? What size? - what's the hubski font exactly? I just used Arial last time since it kinda looked like it. - is there an official logo with relative dimensions? How large is the inner circle compared to the outer ones. Something like this might be useful. To be honest I don't know much about printing except that I should work in CMYK colors and a bit about DPI. Maybe insom knows more? And last but not least, any ideas on what you'd like on a sticker?
Here is a good start. I met with mike this weekend in Portland, and we discussed the mathematical properties of the Hubski logo. We had a bet about the areas of the center circle, and the outer circles. Mike thought that they center circle area was greater than that of the outer ones. I guessed the opposite. He still owes me lunch. Anyway, the truth was surprisingly close. Therefore we sat down and devised a balanced version, and perfected the distances with math as well. Here it is: The area of the satellite circles equals the middle circle area. The distance from the edge of the inner circle to the middle of an outer one is equal to the diameter of the inner circle. The colors are: #8097A4 (128,151,164), #F37901 (243,121,1), #10BDBB (16,189,187), although I sometimes adjust them depending on the purpose. The font is Trebuchet.
Hey veen. We're not super fancy shmacy but if you ended up putting together standards for the logo that could be nice. I've attached what I've created in the last few months. I think the font is Trebuchet. The last logo I did I recreated in fireworks based on a low res one. Here's another I would do CMYK at 300 DPI. That should be sufficient. Not sure what sticker company we're working with but most online ones will take RGB these days as well. Single color. My opinion is that if there was a way to do a minimalist, single color version of the cool bar design you created, that would be epic. I've thought about how to do it though and can't see it in my head though so maybe something new.
I actually like the second one here as a sticker.
Here's what I use: Blue : #598598 Orange : #FF5B00 Turquoise: #00B6B2
mk or insomniasexx can you help with this please? Thanks.
