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. :-)

Hi Martin!
That's nice and clean, I like the subtle shadows. However, I think there is room for improvement here. It's too simple. Even without the technical issues, it's achieved by drawing the outer shape, pasting an image, and typing two strings in an image editing program. Participants are expected to put several hours of thought and/or effort into the design tasks. You may have, but I'm not seeing that level of effort. The more simple the design, the more creative and careful the design elements need to be.
Please check out some of the other completed sticker designs for an idea of the quality expected. Try adding a tagline or some subtle details or maybe something that will make it stand out.
