Actually, out of those which have a white background, the majority do have
a saturated colour border.
In general, most probably no, but vast majority of the ones I have
put around
my working space follow a simple pattern - the border is just a few shades
darker than the artwork area.
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.
