Hi all,
At conferences (especially FOSDEM) people always love project stickers. Last year we had some very simple kiss-cut stickers:
And also a few fun “You Wouldn’t Download a Microscope” stickers:
This year we to be ready with more stickers and better stickers. We would love for people to help us design stickers and to post them on this thread. Preferred format would be SVG, so it is editable and vectorised. All designs posted below will be assumed to be licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0 so we can use them and modify them, so please don’t post anything you don’t want under that license.
Some resources to help are:
- Our identity repository - This includes our logo and a number of other resources about colours and fonts.
- Some info on “standard hex stickers” - We will do lots of fun shapes, but it would be nice to have a design that is hexagonal that fits this standard for those who like stickers that tessellate .
To be ready for this FOSDEM (assuming we get a stand) we probably will need designs in the next month. But designs later than that may be made for different events.
Thanks all, happy designing.

I’m going to start things off with a simple Hex sticker design:
Hex stickers in inkscape
If anyone is planning to design a hex sticker in Inkscape there are lots of tools, but line thicknesses can stop it being the correct size. If anyone wants to get the dimensions correct I would recommend:
- Pressing
Ctrl+Shift+D to bring up the document sidebar
- Going to the grids tab
- Creating an Axonometric grid with 0.254 spacing and major gridline every 10 lines
- Drawing the outer shape with snap to grids on (10 major gridlines per side)
- Drawing another hex somewhere just inside this one.
- Selecting both and press
Ctrl+- so subtract one from the other
- Pressing
Ctrl+Shift+F to get the Fill and Stroke tools up
- Turning stroke off and using fill to set to get the outer line colour.

I designed this hex sticker adapting a drawing done by Rae from Paraphrase Studio 
SVG is below, but doesn’t render correctly on discourse because the image in the centre is a different format SVG icon not parsed correctly? - #2 by Lilly - Support - Discourse Meta

I also made this! SVG below (same issue as previous design re: rendering)

This is vectored and close to identical to the one above.
The other one may be was harder to vectorise:
If we do want vectorised SVGs this may want some tweaking.
