John mentioned that in order to get the purchase approved for the stickers, we need to have a QR code or link on the sticker... I put together a draft - what do you all think?

Max Grover (Sep 10 2021 at 18:12):

Ope ignore the sunset photos... accidentally sent multiple... messaging on my iPad today

Drew Camron (Sep 10 2021 at 19:05):

Looks good to me!

Max Grover (Sep 23 2021 at 21:22):

For anyone interested in sticker details - I put together a google doc with more info about the cost, design, timeline, etc. https://docs.google.com/document/d/19sI8WoPCYJWvocfpoKne6FagaZpUmoa7j7_XMXLtLoE/edit?usp=sharing

Drew Camron (Sep 23 2021 at 21:23):

That is perfect! Thanks a ton @Max Grover , I'll let y'all know what UCP admin say about the purchase whenever I hear.

Drew Camron (Sep 24 2021 at 15:21):

Sounds like if Mohan approves the purchase, we may be able to do it. I'll see if I can get an answer on that soon

Drew Camron (Sep 24 2021 at 18:16):

Hey @Max Grover, how many stickers was this for again? 500?

Max Grover (Sep 24 2021 at 18:18):

yup!

Drew Camron (Sep 24 2021 at 18:36):

and sorry one more bother, are these the 2x2" circular stickers?

Max Grover (Sep 24 2021 at 18:39):

You're good - the die cut ones actually! Although we could do circular...

Drew Camron (Sep 27 2021 at 15:36):

Alright! I got approval from Mohan for the sticker order, so I'll need to work with our admin staff to get them ordered

Drew Camron (Sep 27 2021 at 15:37):

He had a request that it "would be nice" to represent unidata somehow on the sticker given our purchase of it. I donno how much I really wanna push for that myself given it's a small sticker and not really fair to overrepresent unidata relative to ncar/ualbany (in my opinion, heh)

Drew Camron (Sep 27 2021 at 15:38):

So I can either check with him on that, mention that I don't prefer it to him, or just move forward with the order and not sweat it heh

Max Grover (Sep 27 2021 at 15:39):

Hmm maybe if we put "Unidata", "NCAR", and "UAlbany" on the pillars?

Max Grover (Sep 27 2021 at 15:39):

Ill put a draft together and send it over for feedback

Drew Camron (Sep 27 2021 at 15:39):

See I think it'd be great to put them all on their if it can fit and not get too busy, and assuming we're allowed to use the other logos heh

Julia Kent (Sep 27 2021 at 15:48):

Another idea that came to mind, was having those three institutions in a circle around the Pythia logo. If that makes sense.

Julia Kent (Sep 27 2021 at 15:48):

That is really good news!

Max Grover (Sep 27 2021 at 16:22):

It looks a lot busier...

Max Grover (Sep 27 2021 at 16:31):

This is another option... still kinda busy, but a bit better?

Max Grover (Sep 27 2021 at 16:32):

The column size is NOT proportional to how we feel about contributions :) just the length of the words!!

Drew Camron (Sep 27 2021 at 16:39):

Hmmmm

Julia Kent (Sep 27 2021 at 16:42):

I was picturing just the names wrapped around without any of the logos

Drew Camron (Sep 27 2021 at 16:43):

Should we reach back out to the graphic designer about trying to get the names or logos on there effectively?

Drew Camron (Sep 27 2021 at 16:43):

I'm not sure how booked n busy they stay, heh

Drew Camron (Sep 27 2021 at 16:46):

I think of these options I prefer the sneaky column names though, heh

Max Grover (Sep 27 2021 at 16:47):

@Julia Kent I tried to wrap them around in a circle

Max Grover (Sep 27 2021 at 16:47):

@Drew Camron we can! I am not sure who that is

Drew Camron (Sep 27 2021 at 16:48):

I am not sure either! I think John handled communication with them previously? I would definitely like to learn their name one way or another, hah!

Drew Camron (Sep 28 2021 at 18:29):

Alright got confirmation and it's definitely not a requirement for Unidata to be featured on the sticker

Drew Camron (Sep 28 2021 at 18:29):

so we can just drop all the logo talk

Kevin Tyle (Sep 28 2021 at 18:51):

Great! Hopefully now the sticker purchase is at last unstuck!

Julia Kent (Sep 29 2021 at 17:16):

This is the best news I'll hear all day!

Drew Camron (Sep 29 2021 at 17:18):

Yeah! I'll be working with our admin staff to place the order later this week or first thing next week. We can run the sticker design by the entire EWG Thursday if we still need to do that

Max Grover (Sep 29 2021 at 17:30):

Let me know when you need that finalized higher res logo by

Drew Camron (Sep 29 2021 at 17:31):

Alright, once we confirm everyone's alright with it tomorrow I'll probably get it from you then if that's doable

Drew Camron (Oct 04 2021 at 19:58):

Hey @Max Grover, I'm going to be placing this order hopefully today. Can you send me the image to upload? I can also place an order and choose to send stickermule the art at a later time if needed

Drew Camron (Oct 04 2021 at 19:58):

Also I assume we're allowed to use the logo design freely? No one has jumped out to say no, heh

Drew Camron (Oct 05 2021 at 20:30):

I simultaneously have appreciation and questions for why stickermule gives you free "mule sauce" hot sauce with every order

Drew Camron (Oct 05 2021 at 20:54):

The deed is done! I'll have these sent to my home and I can make arrangements to leave or otherwise share some however we decide. ETA next wednesday Oct 13

Drew Camron (Oct 05 2021 at 22:18):

Alright, final approval; here's the sticker proof: image.png

Drew Camron (Oct 05 2021 at 22:19):

If there's no issues I'll kick it through!

Drew Camron (Oct 05 2021 at 22:19):

(I think it's great)

Max Grover (Oct 05 2021 at 22:20):

omg i love it

Drew Camron (Oct 05 2021 at 22:24):

Alright I'll hit the button

Drew Camron (Oct 18 2021 at 18:05):

I received the stickers!

Julia Kent (Oct 20 2021 at 13:51):

Looks perfect!

Drew Camron (Oct 26 2021 at 17:45):

Here's the proof sticker, ignore the goop on the front of it. They're smaller than I pictured but look good! It came in 10 wrapped stacks of 50 each 20211026_113817.jpg

Max Grover (Oct 26 2021 at 17:45):

Those look great!!

Drew Camron (Oct 29 2021 at 16:13):

FYI, Unidata will be able to reimburse me for mailing out stickers to people even from home
