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. Simple is good. Using our formal (the three circles) or informal (moose antlers) logo is great. Please avoid any military theme (no tanks!).
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 you name so we can credit you if you like as well.

It's a good design, there are few things that I would like to suggest to improve this design
1) The name is "BRL-CAD". There needs to be a "-" between the BRL and CAD portions. Any official branding requires it.
2) Also the font size of bottom line "open source solid modeling" is quite big, it seems that it doesn't fit the circle.

Connor, exactly what Gauravjeet said. I'd also add that the balance of the text in the logo is akward. Perhaps have the logo at the top, BRL-CAD near the middle, and the rest a little smaller underneath. On the last line, perhaps add http://brlcad.org so people have a hint where to go for information.
I tried to add the url and move the logo to the top but it just didn't look right. Also the reason I didn't add the hyphen was because I was using http://brlcad.org/images/angelov_512x256.png and didn't know the font after later research I found out it's "Grandesign Neue Roman" and was able to recreated it in a text layer and add the hyphen. I also changed the text at the bottom to Grandesign Neue Roman anfd repositioned it.

Just a little tweak and this task will be closed with a great sticker design
The arrangement of the sticker could be done in the following way.
____LOGO____ //decrease size
___BRL-CAD___ //increase size
__http://brlcad.org/__ //make it very small
Here logo is small as compared to the text BRL-CAD, and the url would be in very small font size.
Well I am not aware of your time zone, so I extend your deadline with 24 hours.
After the closing of this task, keep an eye on mailing list, and look for the announcement related to stickers. ;-)

I am glad you followed my advice. But as I previously mentioned, that
Make the text consisting of url extreamly small.
Also if you want to use, open source solid modelling, make it in one line below, BRL-CAD. It should fit right below BRL-CAD.
Also I checked your psd file, the tagline and url text are in same layer, I would suggest to make different layers instead.
Best of luck !
If you have any queries, then ask here or in irc, I would love to help you.

I had to change the shape of the design to an oval to do everything you have said. I spent some time repositioning everything but I think I have completed everything to your suggestions. I did make the url smaller but with the slogan now being one line I have some white space and wanted to make it big enough to be legible. I couldn't find you on the irc whats you username on there I'm cvickers.
Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.
