For those that think ubuntu stickers look cheesy on your laptop...

[wolfen69]

Actually, I think that they look kind of cheap also. So I thought of a way to show my ubuntu pride while still showing some class. (see attachments)

I went down to the local arts and crafts superstore, and picked up these raised metallic letters for like $5. They are non-permanent, and self-sticking. (Thickers, if you need to know the name)

They have different kinds of "metal", such as gold, silver, sparkle, and different colors. I think it looks much better than some cheapo stickers that fade and peel.

Btw, they look much better in person than in the pics.

I used a T-square to keep them in-line, and didn't press them down until I had them lined up just right.

Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone looking for an alternative to the usual ubuntu stickers. Hey, come up with your own ideas, and share. Cheers.

That does look great, wolfen69.

The free stickers do fade, and peel, and look somewhat unappealing, after a time.

I don't agree about the stickers... the ones I got from the Canonical Store are awesome and look and feel durable, but I guess YMMV.

I was referring to the "free" ones, from The ones, that come with an ubuntu cd.

That was from 6.10 so maybe they aren't made from printed paper now.

Edit:

Should have stated that.

My bad.

Sounds like a classic distro hopper.

Looks pretty nice. Do they have smaller sizes, though? I don't think I could get away with it because I have a 2 year old that would have it picked off before the end of the first day.

To be honest, I think the stickers look better.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

They have everything where I went. (Michaels)
