EvilDave: you have 9 hours

8:57 and counting.
On the case. Do u have a fast turnaround print shop ready to go ?
In NL, I'd use: 
www.vistaprint.nl
24-48hours delivery, very cheap & reasonable quality.
Maybe they have a German equivalent?
......and, as if by magic (well, google):

Salsacz, here's the slightly tidied up gold on black bumper sticker, small version:



and here's a blue on white I did for the fun, not totally happy with it, but is nice, clear, simple and less dramatic than the G/b



On the printing front, I'm going to get some of the gold on black printed via:
www.vistaprint.nl
Their bumper sticker is 279mm x 76mm, I made the full versions to that size precisely
As well as fullsize bumper stickers, I'll get some smaller (50% reduction, so 1/4 the area of the big version) stickers printed up on a roll, for NXTing things smaller than a car.
My stuff is all in .jpg, vistaprint.nl has no problem with that, I'm assuming vistaprint.de won't have a problem either.
Heres the link, choose 'Eigenes Design hochladen', and take it away....

Send me a PM with yr e-mail and I'll send u the full size versions for printing. TinyPic wants to compress everything it sees....

Bounty would be nice, but no rush, I'll see what the printing costs come to first, and if anyone else wants some stickers. 
BTW, stole Mareks 3d rendering for the gold on black, gonna share some bounty with him.

Hmmm...not like I need sleep or anything. 
Do you want to have the www.nxtcrypto.org URL added to the box of chocolates design above, and if so, do u have any idea which font was used ?

[salsacz]

nope 

[salsacz]

Articles writing updates - some topics were assigned in last days (open bounty is up to 3.000 Nxt/good long article)

- Why is pure Proof of Stake in Nxt best solution for cryptocurrencies?

- How can you mine Nxt only with solar energy?

- How could decentralized exchanges change the world? (no Government, no censorship, USA, China...) - + decentralized messaging, DNS
 - - Decentralized internet and Nxt solutions: Salsacz


- The 51% Attack - technical details, history of 51% attacks, how it ended, Nxt solution (is Nxt safer than other PoS currencies?) (Ghash's pool is risking Bitcoin's security again with 40% of the network's hashpower and no one is talking about it. Pools of PoW machines with enormous hashpower is Bitcoin's most pressing concern and biggest flaw right now. Nextcoin is the best answer to this. Why is it not being talked about more?)
- Zahlen

- Nxt: gaming friendly currency (vs. Litecoin, a graphic cards killer) - Due to Litecoin's difficulty skyrocketing there is a global shortage of Graphic Cards, which piss off gamers tremendously and drive up the price for grahics cards. NXT solves this. (Uniqueorn's idea, maybe reserved for him..?)

- Nxt + Raspberry (+other similar platforms (Cubietruck)) (can be different articles, also short articles) (0 energy  forging package)

- Transparent Forging (very very technical, history of mining, comparisons)

Shorter articles/essays:

- Why should you invest in Nxt? (/Why should you invest in Nxt long term?)
- bithic
- Damelon
- many free spots

- Why is Nxt so friendly currency?: (i) It *doesn't* have VC capital backing. ii) It *doesn't* have "slick sales guys*. iii) It *does* have smart devs and an increasing following.  iv) It *is* delivering its promises (more or less) on time.) - more about the community, people form all over the world, community funding, decentralized company - a world of free individuals who all believe in Nxt. 1500 pages in Bitcointalk
- bithic

- How Nxt changed my life


Future (short) articles: (now it's to soon):

- Who accepts Nxt as a payment? (+ fee in Nxt vs. Bitcoin vs. fiat (VISA))
- Nxt invites altcoins to host on it's blockchain
- Can be a new internet stored on Nxt's blockchain / DNS system?
- Nxt clients: Damelon

Have you got any idea about some other article? Share it. We would love to have more scientific articles, financial, economical, IT...

nope

Any how, heres a couple of small versions, the fonts not quite right, but I've added the borders needed to get a good print to both of these, so u can submit them both to Vistaprint without any f**king around.

No URL


With URL (need correct font...)


Thats it for tonight, send me yr mail addy, I'll send u the proper print versions.
U, or one of the Berlin guys, needs to get these submitted to vistaprint.de as soon as possible, if u want to have them before the 12th.

Good luck, off to bed.....

Hi guys,

This is my design. I can post a high resolution today.
I can also make alternative designs. Will post it in a couple of hours.

Edit; More designs coming in 1 hour.

[EvilDave]

@ salsacz: sent u the full size .jpgs for all 3 stickers.
Any questions,  get back to me. I'll be around (off and on) for much of today.

@Fatih:
Yes, do it. It's your design after all, and u r the best guy for the job.
 
The only point to remember with getting these printed up quickly is that Vistaprint (and others) will crop the image slightly during the production process, which is why I added an extra 10-20 pixels as a black border to your original.
If u do make new versions, make sure that the main image doesn't get cropped. You can use the sizes of my images as guide: 2925x819 pixels.

BTW: I dont like my addition of the URL to your image, fonts not right, for a start, which font did u use?



 

[Fatih87SK]

Alright. I hope I'm not too late to deliver some sticker designs;

Here they are;

ps. Salsacz. See my signature. Maybe you can add my twitter or website to your collection if you like it.
And if you need more images for anything. Let me know.

I used BankGothic as font.

Let me know if you know a better font. And if you know what the resolution has to be le me know as well. Then I can make it fit for Vistaprint.

[Mario123]

Gill Sans, in different variations (light, regular, ...)

[EvilDave]

@Mario: yep, Gill sans was used for most NXT promo material up until now, but Fatih used BankGothic on his new box-of-chocolates design.

@Fatih: Love the images, very, very nice.

BUT....I've just checked the sizing for Vistaprint and they are slightly wrong for the bumpersticker format.
Stickers will be 279mm x 76mm when printed, which means that u need to take your images from 2835 x 6xx pixels, up to around 2835 x 810 pixels. Best way to do this is NOT to resize, but to add some more background to make the images deeper (more vertical).
If u can deal with German, heres a link to the Vistaprint up load interface for the stickers:

I can maybe do another check for if u can get back to me fairly soon....

Image resolution seems good, btw, i'm seeing 72pixels/inch, Vistaprint aren't complaining.

Alright.

I will resize the images when I get home. That will be over 3-4 hours.

Glad you like it.

[EvilDave]

No problem. I'll be AFK soon , back in about 5 hours.

Remember, don't do a complete resize, just add more top and bottom borders.

@salsa:
We need to get whatever designs we decide to use on to Vistaprint today, or it's going to be late for the Berlin conf.
Have u got someone to take responsibility for uploading, ordering, paying and taking delivery ?   

[salsacz]

I'll be in Prague on Monday, so I'll try to print something there. + I am reposting the stickers to the nextcoin.org thread

Sweet, I'll repost anything u miss, and get some hosted on ImageShack for the full versions, then anyone can get to them.

However: walking into a copyshop and getting these done could be expensive and/or more complicated than u might expect.
I know Vistaprint are good on price and reasonable on quality, but if u know a good copy shop in Prague, go for it.
Just don't want to miss the opportunity with Berlin.
