Hello!
So all the way back at wineconf I volunteered to be swag master for winehq. The idea is to
have something that can be given away at trade shows, presentations, LUG visits and the
like. Just something to help promote the visibility of the project.
Jana here, CodeWeavers marketing director, has put together a sampling of designs to do as
our first sticker and so now we are looking for some feedback on what people prefer.

Rosanne? Could you direct me as to where this should be put up for the users as well? I
am unfamiliar with how to communicate to our user base.
The poll will run for as long as it feels like it needs to get some sort of winner.
Comments and suggestions are always welcome!

Very funny. I've posted an announcement on the forum for you.

Hi,
Kudos to Jana for creating the sample designs!
While they're all really good, I'm wondering about the "bottle" theme
used
in all the samples. Is that the direction we're going for, possibly a new
logo?
Cheers,
Aaryaman

I was wondering that myself. The designs are okay, but I prefer the logo on the website.

I might as well add a "me too". I'm hardly a marketing expert, but
if
this is intended for conferences and the like I think there's
something to be said for keeping the imaging consistent. Of course I
also remember the old logo and website fondly
(https://web.archive.org/web/20080621094805/http://www.winehq.org/ for
those too young to remember :D), and well, "flat" is modern again.

Then please leave that as an 'Other' option. I directed Jana to explore things
other than the logo and maybe she should have done up one that was just the logo. But I
though it would be fun to have a sticker with another graphic.

On a slightly more serious note though, I think an argument could
certainly be made that it's about time for a refresh of the logo and
the website design. I.e., I think the stickers should be consistent
with the project logo (although not necessarily exactly the same), but
that could also mean updating the project logo to be consistent with
the sticker design.

New subject: Wine Stickers coming soon!
Hello Everyone!
Long time not update. Been a busy, busy time but Jana and I have had a chance to circle
back to the swag with the goal of having a stack ready for WineConf.
The poll concluded with the sideways bottle, Though some of the suggestions where good so
we made a few tweaks and attached is the sticker we have come up with.
We are looking into the best way to produce the sticker and it is all very excited.
The idea is that we want people who go to events, talks, trade shows or anywhere promoting
WINE to be able to have a stack of these to give away to help promote the project.
We don't have a good distribution plan yet other than a box of stickers in my office
and people e-mailing me when they need a supply. That does involve ongoing shipping costs
that will have to be covered. If we have a volunteer in Europe to also have a stash then
that would likely be a better plan for European people.
There where a few questions around re-design of the Logo and such. I personally think a
graphics/logo update of our web site would be awesome but I am not volunteering as I am
not a graphic designer. All of Jana's designs that used the existing wine glass just
did not work as well as the bottle ones we had up on the poll so we decided to be a big
adventurous and go with this.
Finally, the idea is for this to be sort of step 1 in swag/promotion process. We want to
get people reaching out, tabling, doing talks and all that sort of thing and having swag
helps raise the project's status. This is of course a discussion for WineConf, but
want to keep the thoughts bubbling.

That's great looking!
I made myself a sweatshirt a while back with the existing logo on the
back and the address of the winehq git repository on the front, and I
thought it came out well. The thing attached to your email looks great
also. Maybe I should make another sweatshirt with that :)
I think it looks good.

Hi Aric,
Thanks for your work!
And do you have a svg file of this design?
