Design a BRL-CAD StickerBRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete: 100 hrs Mentors: Hardeep Singh Rai, HarmanpreetTags: artwork, concept, photoshop, design, sticker

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, something you'd put on your laptop or phone case. 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. If you use the three circle gear logo, the centers should be white and it must be 300dpi high quality -- use one of the vector versions submitted as a GCI task here or search around for one.

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 with transparency or dimension settings so we can print them properly. (png, xcf, 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.

Make it look awesome. LOOK at some of the completed ones and make yours look even better. :-)

Ch3ck on December 2 2014 16:06 UTCNice work!

I think the design looks cool except


1.) The BRLCAD is not visible at all.


2.) the many BRLCAD logos all round the page looks daring, try that on a different background color and let's see.


 


Awesome!

Rohit,

You going great. Here is feedback: Instead of using too many small logo's single logo should look better. Also, it would be better if you use some colors for BRL-CAD instead of single white color.

thanks for reviewing. i have changed the sticker accordingly. please tell me if further changes are required.

Jacob B on December 3 2014 14:52 UTCMuch better

I like that a lot more.  The background color is nice, along with the big logo.  I would either put a similar shadow on the text and the logo, or take it away from both.

I mean - without a shadow

Ishwerdas on December 4 2014 09:28 UTCGood Job!

First of all thanks for the .xcf files and using GIMP. I encourage you to use more open source tools in your designs. Just few little changes and I guess it will be great



  • Font looks condensed, it would be nice if you can change that something like open sans ultra bold or lato heavy (or any decent non-condensed sans-serif font).

  • Color in which BRL-CAD is written is light, it needs to be darker and more prominent. If in grey zone you can try #222 or #333 (just a suggestion).
