Ubuntu Sticker Love

[joey-elijah]

Got my official Jaunty CD today and a set of four Ubuntu stickers (just like with Intrepid) and i really do love them!

I have one on the side of my desktop case and one on the back of my netbook (covering the ASUS logo).

Who else loves the free Ubuntu stickers and what do you do with yours?!

/me measures an ugly HP logo against an Ubuntu sticker...

Thanks for the thought.

They need to send one that's the same size as the giant Apple sticker, though. The Ubuntu logo looks way prettier, so could be pretty effective!

I have an Ubuntu sticker on my laptop, just about to stick one on my netbook (heh), and one on a USB flash drive attached to a keychain because I'm waiting for someone to notice it and because I have way too many USB flash drives, so use a sticker to remember which one has my bootable Ubuntu installer.

I took all the Windows stickers off my 'puters and put little "powered by Ubuntu" stickers in their place. I even have little tiny black and white Ubuntu logo stickers that cover up the little Windows logos on the Super keys of my keyboards!

LOL, I never had any use for that key anyway 'til I switched.

have they changed the design of the stickers or are they the same crap?

after a couple of monthes:

the white turns grey
the orange turns brown
the black turns white
the glue dries and the sticker peels off

Heh, nice point. Same story here. It's painful enough disabling the Windows key (involves horribly ugly looking registry hacks and the 'command line'), let alone configuring it to something else :P
In Ubuntu, it's a handy modifier for all my super 'system level' key bindings.

On this topic, does anyone know what became of that effort to have metal stickers made? (For a price, of course).

[PurposeOfReason]

I keep all stickers off my cases, same for logos if I can help it. Although if I was ever sponsored for a build I would, without any shame, make pretty logos for it.

What a coincidence!

I just got mine also :)

I also got the four stickers- now I got eight!

I'm really really excited and will do a Live CD before I go to sleep later.

I have noticed this too. I hope the quality gets better.

Yes! totally! I would love a full sized ubuntu sticker a la Apple's, well, Apple!

I'd also love a laptop/netbook with the ubuntu logo backlit like Appl'es Apple.... *swoons*

[nowin4me]

*sigh* No Ubuntu CD for me yet :(. But then again mom and dad might of thrown it out into the trash thinking it was junk mail.

I just hope not.

Got mine a couple of days ago and much appreciated the complementary stickers!

I have attached Ubuntu 8.04 sticker to my black Dell M1530 a year ago.
Now it is all yellow and does not look good.

How can I remove the white glue from my laptop :?:
Water is not enough.

Please, help. :frown:

I sticked it on my room door :D

you could use one of the following:

coke
wd40
alcohol
rub it with your finger


and im not joking.

ive resorted to protecting the sticker with a transparent tape to keep it from wearing off...now it only loses its color.

I saw an awesome sticker in a photo of Ubuntu's new Design and User Experience leader Ivanka Majic. (It's near the bottom of her MacBook)

You know Asus does not equal to windows (or made by Asus), I Wonder why you would cover the brand-name.

Of course i know that!

I covered up my Asus logo because a) it's ugly and b) it's right in the center of the back display and an Ubuntu sticker looks the best there. Simple as.

I'd rather promote my OS than the hardware company, as well tbh.

Why are people so quick to label people 'Microsoft Haters' or just stupid?

I had tried:

water
alcohol 25%
washing-up liquid
my fingers
my nails


but to no avail. The glue was like "burn in".

Then I tried deodorant and it worked. At first, I used Adidas Sensitive 3. It was OK, but I couldn't get rid of some the spots. Then I used Adidas Fragrance Urban Spice and it worked marvellously. I needed only a little and now it is perfect. Main ingredients: alcohol denature, butane, isobutane and propane.

Btw. Now my laptop smells very well.

Both my laptops have the sticker: one has been on over a year and is a little bit discoloured but isn't too bad; and there's one on the side of my desktop (but that one wants to peel off).

Both The Lady and The Mozilla sticker are highly attractive.
