Boston hackfest stickers
These are modeled after the Paris engraved ones I did last year. This time however, I thought the venue was a better thing to put on the sticker rather than a local tourist attraction, which in this case, no one might actually see.
So here it is, the Boston Hackfest sticker sample: https://www.dropbox.com/s/trkgrniaf4g33iz/inkscape_foil_sticker_boston_hackf...
Any thoughts? Wish it were a famous landmark instead?
Lemme know. -C
Cool work, Thanks CR.

Even though I wouldn't be able to build such a beautiful sticker I would just remove the effect of shadown from the sticker. But, IMHO, besides this, the sticker is beautiful.
Good job CR!

The silver and "shadow" effect is just showing it's a foil sticker. I probably should 3d Render a sample for a better effect, but I'm a bit out of time on this one. :) Want to make sure people attending the Boston Hackfest get to enjoy them at the venue.
It will be plain black ink on silver (reflective) foil.

This looks good, one nitpicky thing is there's a space between "Red" and "Hat" (our logo is wrong, I know lol :))
The building our office is in used to be part of the New England Confectionary COmpany (NECCO) - famous for inventing the Conversation Hearts Valentine's candies. I do have an SVG (in a different style) showing the full building, but it's really not a tourist attraction or super historically relevant (unless you like candy lol.) It's also in the area where the movie The Departed was filmed (if you've seen the movie you'll recognize it) in one of the ending scenes - um, not a very positive scene, though o_O
However we do have a local landmark right nearby! The Boston Tea Party Ships are right by the office, and if attendees are walking over from South Station (highly likely) then you'll see it every day even if you don't visit because you have to cross the bridge across Fort Point Channel in full view of it.

We kind of consider that the local landmark near our office; on the engineering side of the building our conference rooms are named after types of tea ;-) The main meeting space is named matcha!
Hope this helps!

It's also near where some of the scenes from Surrogates was filmed with Bruce Willis. Over near luckies.

See, If I were investing Boston's image overall, I'd have tried to get castle island iconified https://media.timeout.com/images/101593617/imag e.jpg as it's got nice regular shapes. Or maybe the more historically significant Dorchester heights http://bit.ly/2sF0HX9%C2%A0But how often do you go for a stroll down L St. away from downtown ;-)

American Pirated or British East India tea? :-P

So... out of all the options, what would people like on the sticker? Pick ONE thing please. Or is the graphic I've made sufficient? (I'll get rid of the space in RedHat as requested).

As someone who works in the building :) I would suggest not going with the design of the front of the building. It's a newer addition on an old building, and isn't really recognizable or significant (if that makes sense.)

Will people recognise it? More specifically, the people attending the hackfest? It's the picture that comes up when you search for "Redhat Boston". Moreover, it's the only part of the building which seems to echo the interior styling.

I don't think so - the thing about it is that you walk under that front design, and you wouldn't really notice it unless you were walking from a direction most people don't walk from (the main street in the area with walking traffic is summer street) You can't really view the whole thing unless you've stepped back aways in a direction you wouldn't go.
The building's side is more noticeable than the front because of its position relative to the main street (the building's front isn't on A street, for example, it's on a small side road called Necco St.) And the building itself is basically a nondescript brick building.

CR,
I've been there, I think I know what Máirín is saying.
Imagine a spiral where major road gives way to minor road, then to minor road, then to parking lot. That's when you see the front of the building (after the world stops spinning of course)
Although I fear we're putting too much pressure on you, your design was really nice tbh. It doesn't have to scream boston if it doesn't want to.

I'd suggest a Super Mutant from Fallout 4, as that's about the extent of my Boston knowledge ;)

Great work on the stickers though!

I like the design, too, but the licence is still wrong. Would you fix it, please, Chris? The logo is CC-By-SA, and any derivatives will be, too.

C,
The Boston Tea Party is one of the defining moments of the American Revolution and is the thing that pops up when thinking about Boston (that and Paul Revere's midnight ride). Also, shipping was the "raison d'être" for Boston's existence. I would vote for one of the ships... but it's not so important that it should keep you up at night or away from your day job!
Thanks for making the stickers!
Tav
That's really good! Thanks CR.
