Hi folks, those who attended at least one conference for the past year have probably noticed the rising trend (more like "sticker hype") of FOSS projects giving away these hexagon stickers, it's very inexpensive way of making some promo for their project and since we don't do many promos (AFAIK none to be precise) I guess as a project that's been going strong for 12 years already we should probably start somewhere, even baby steps count (as it turns out in this case - - literally...). So, I've taken our libvirt-publican repo and came up with a few various color combinations for libvirt hexagon sticker design. Below you can find links to my personal google drive (these are hexagon meshes, I can, or anyone can for that matter, isolate individual designs and send them as separate patches on demand), since each of the SVGs is over 1.5MB and I'd easily run into message size limits for the mailing list, had I gone with sending these as patches against libvirt-publican.
Haven't seen that many hexagon stickers at the last Google mentor summit, but generally speaking I agree that we need some sort of sticker (whatever shape it has). I like the design of the link [2], may be more the dark fill and light (not white) border, but may be we should gather those into a poll somehow.
Why can't we have both? Suits everyone, just like NHL jerseys - one with a light base and a second one with a darker-colored base :). I'm still to rework the design with the latest SVG set which Dan re-worked as part of the webdesign work (I still like the original SVG more because the font is a bit bolder) but I had some issues with object alignment in inkscape because of a large bounding box the 'Drop shadow' caused and I just didn't like micro pixel adjustments to the object position just to get it centered within the hexagon area, so I sent patches to mitigate the issue and I'll post a v2 of the design this week.
