Design a BRL-CAD Sticker #10BRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete: 72 hrs Mentors: SeanTags: design, 2D, 3D, sticker, artwork, concept, photoshop, gimp

This task involves designing a BRL-CAD sticker. Make it look good, something you'd be proud to give to all of your friends and family. Look over some great sticker designs before starting to work on this, including the other completed GCI sticker designs by others.

Simple is good.  Using our formal (the three circles) or informal (moose antlers) logo is great.  Please avoid any military theme (no tanks!), do not use our old eagle logo, but do put a dash in BRL-CAD.

There is no bound shape for the shape of the sticker.  It can be rectangular, circular, or even irregular shaped.  The only thing that matters is that it look really cool.

Submit your artwork in any file format, but ideally with transparency settings so we can print them properly.  (png or psd work well).  Give your name so we can credit you if you like as well and join our brlcad-news mailing list to hear if we use your sticker design.

Sean on December 19 2013 06:40 UTCnot bad but..

Luke, I presume this is 4 stickers?  I really like the two BRL-CAD ones as they're simple brilliant colors that work well together .. but they're otherwise very bland with a lot of seemingly wasted space.  As for the other two, the logos, their colors are more washed out but more concerning is the fact that they're quite "lumpy" and don't have color (so they're not our logo).


Perhaps a design that incorporates both the word and the logo together, and a byline or url or something so people who have no idea what BRL-CAD is aren't left wondering?  You might want to check out some of the closed/completed design tasks as there are several scalable logo submissions (3D models and CSS) that would be more accurate.


You certainly don't have to limit yourself to this design either if you have other ideas.

No means to incorporate all three?  Our official title is "BRL-CAD", only the website is brlcad.org, and our logo is, well, our logo.


We can call it complete if you have no other ideas, but I'm afraid it won't be a sticker design we can use as-is.  It needs to speak to a global audience, conveying multiple concepts at once as simply as possible, not just be stylistically clean.

Sorry for the confusion, I did not read the reply properly but I definatly want to help. I'll try my best as I clamid this task to complete it properly and if a mentor like you is not satisfied with design, the task for me is not really complete.


 


Thank you.

Luke,


That looks much better, more innovative and interesting.  The only issue I saw was grammatic, need to remove the colon or the exclamation at the end (one or the other).  Suggest removing the colon.


Also, please submit a png in addition to your .ai so other folks that don't have AI will know what this design looks like.
