Nubblies.com Stickers

[Titan]

Pliedes. You are a genius. Seriously.

I've had stickers made before, this is the place to do it: www.stickerguy.com

For a mere $25 you can get a batch of 250 black and white 5.50" x 1.42" stickers that would be about the right shape for "Nubblies.com" and then say something under it like the slogan "The Place Controversy Calls Home". Or we could get 500 for $60 and have them be red and black... Other colours or more colours gets real expensive though.

It would be easy to raise $25 bucks... or more...

Fuck I'll even volunteer to do all the artwork (since that's all I'm ever good for if you ask some people)... I can inscribe the nubblies font and a slogan or whatever designs we want...

We can take a large pool of money... or split up the stickers by however much you pay for... I'd definitely donate at least $5 to this cause. Fuck... me and pliedes will take care of everything if you want... I'm already working in conjuction with him for "Seraphim Sucks" stickers for his band.

And since I have made my own stickers and am experienced at graffiti-ing them everwhere, this would be great... we would tag this page up everywhere...

Shit... talk about traffic to nubblies...

Just say the word and we'll get to work...

Certainly not a bad idea...what do the other members of Nubblies think about this idea?

[OneHugeBastard]

Sounds good to me. You need to find out how many people would be willing to donate money and then split up the cost from there.

I will be the first to say that yes, i will donate some cash money.

Make a poll or something like that to see who will donate.

And another thing, i think a better color combonation would be yellow on black. It match's the website a little more.

i am down with it, its a great idea. Placing these stickers at random places around the school would also be quite funny.

[Trout Sniffer]

I would donate some money. Not that I really have any to donate, but it would be a good promotion for nubblies, and it would be cool to have a nubblies.com sticker on your car or something. Yellow on Black would probably be the best color combo, but Red on Black isn't bad at all, especially if it's significantly cheaper.

[Ugly Bastard]

I would donate upwards of $50 dollars if it meant nubblistic growth.

While this decision is ultimately up to Orgazmo, i think it is safe to say most nubblites are down with the idea. I've been thinking about this forever and i honestly believe it'd bring so much traffic to nubblies. Of course stickers everywhere also means the administration might take more interest in the site, but what can they do? Which reminds me, why hasn't TS taken out nubblies yet?
I think we should just go with the nice nubblies.com logo in the top left corner of the screen. It's very nice, easy to read, and very recognizable. Some simple is all we need.
I'm sure titan would be down with taking care of the ordering arrangements...

[BigDongedHoe]

I would donate some money for sure. A nice "www.nubblies.com" on the back of my car in whit eand black would be pimp.

[Titan]

Here's the thing with the yellow on black...
I agree it would be the obvious and best choice.
When you go with any other colour than red then you have to buy them in bulk... this because they actually print the ink on coloured vinyl (black ink on yellow vinyl in our case) which means if we got the 5.50" x 1.42" then we would have to get 1,500 and pay $153...

so yeah... it would be harder to raise that much money, but if we could then we should do it, these will last us a very LONG time.

okay I just saw something, if we could fit our design well enough on a 4.25" x 1.38" then for $7 more dollars, a total of $160, we would get a total of 2,000 stickers, which is a much better deal... but... i just measured it out... and it is kinda small...

I've been working on a couple designs, and when keeping the integrity of the logo of just "NUBBLIES.COM" meaning i just scale it down without stretching it wide or tall, it isn't very big on the sticker, so with 4.25 x 1.38 it would be pretty small... I like the 5.50" x 1.42" better personally... i'll send what i'm working to orgazmo and maybe he can put them up

in case i missed any better deals:

Titan has kindly drawn up a few preliminary designs. Go ahead and look @ the following and let me know what you think:











Go ahead and post which you like the best. I think that the last 2 are very cool and, considering the pricing issue with yellow/black, I think the last one is the way to go...but it's a collective decision. Also, if you have a different idea for the design go ahead and post it. And how much are you each willing to donate? I see UB has offered $50...that's a crazy high amount and very appreciated, but I'm not sure that much will be necessary if we each chip in a little bit.

[Ugly Bastard]

Those designs look a bit too Mexicanny for my taste.

That font looks like something a Spic would spell his last name in, and then put it on his rear windshield.

I'm all about a black and white sticker that just says (in regular font): nubblies.com

It would be easier to read, cheaper, and less flashier, and less Spicier.

But that's just my opinion.........

[Titan]

I'll have to go ahead and disagree, the font looks more arabic to me...

but anyway... i like the black and white one cuz it kinda looks chromish...

by the way, the top two are 4.25 x 1.38
the other ones are 5.50 x 1.42

i am willing to donate $5 for black and white
and $10 if we decide to go with the 'spensive yellow

[victim]

I'd be glad to throw in 10 dollars or so for a share of the stickers. Also, once I get my Mac back in working condition (probably tommorow), I can see if I can come up with any good designs with the image deity that is Photoshop 6 w/ Eye Candy 3000.

[BigDongedHoe]

I'm a fan of just what Ugly Bastard said. regular font "www.nubblies.com" and then "the place controversy calls home" under it. All in regular font and black and white appeals to me as well. However there are other people's opinions to take in account.

[Titan]

the only thing with that is, it may indeed look... i don't know, whatever positive is involved with a plain font, but it won't catch your eye as much as something more distinctive. you can pull off a plain font if it's good and definitely not overused. distincitveness just gives you a professional look which means you are much more apt to be payed attention to.

and unless you get something like an 8" by 1" sticker, you won't be able to fit "www.nubblies.com" on there legibly.

I enjoy the last one, the black and white. Any stickers would be pimp shit though. I am willing to donate $10 to this cause. This is a great idea.

I've gotta be honest, I'm very pleased with the amount of cash that everyone is willing to pay. It touches me. Not like a child molester. It's a different type of touch...

Here is the thing. You HAVE to go with some sort of actual logo, like the 'flame' nubblies.com. We have to do it in yellow too, thats the website colors, unless orgazmo is planning on changing it anytime soon (this looks pimp, don't change it)
I'm down with the 2000 for $160
I'll donate $10 to that in a heartbeat. I think the people that donate are the ones who should get them though. All the elite and the hardcore members donate and get their fair share, and then they can distribute them as they wisely choose.

I also know titan has been involved in this kinda shit before, and his shit he knows. I think we should charge him with the design.
I've also heard we need the blessing of tonguegina, seeing as how he has rights to nubblies.com merchandise...

Yes, Mr. Gina has the rights...

Buckeye has submitted a few more designs. What do you think?

[victim]

those are nice, but one thing...


These stickers are one color only. Most of these images have more than 1 color. The design will have to be 2 toned, just yellow and black (ie: simple).

[OneHugeBastard]

Lens Flares all the way baby. Screw two tones.

[Titan]

I actually like those above... but as victim said, with yellow they would have to be two tone...

ummm... as far as the 2000 for the $160, I don't recommend that, because it's on the 4.25 x 1.38, and as i said, in order to have nubblies.com legible at all on that it would have to take up a shit load of room, and there wouldn't be much for the slogan... however I'll try to fit some non-nubblies fonts onto some 4.25 x 1.38's


[This message has been edited by Titan (edited December 19, 2002).]

I am willing to donate 10 bucks as well.


But I think that white and black would be the most pimp. It'd be more inexpensive as well.

We could drop the slogan and just have the nubblies.com, it'll leave people wondefrnig and therefore, going to the site...
That flame logo looks so good...

[Niger Angelus]

I will give ten dollars, I also want t-shirts. Yes tees.
