That works well for stickers with a coloured background. For those with a white background, it feels like a saturated colour gives a good contrast. I'd be inclined to prototype, the two top-left logos from this image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b2MUyv0eo723F2rorWnmv1sTeCycUCN4/view perhaps, variants with & without the website URL (though the majority on hexb.in omit the website URL and keep text to a minimum) Do a clone of the hexb.in repo, and add our logo and see how nicely it works when surrounded on all sides by other stickers.
