We have a cutting table at work, which i want to use for making some stickers. I ordered for now 3 colors of Premium cast PVC film from Orafol. IBM M Blue, Cherry Red and Green.
I tried to get the best matching color for the IBM Blue:



I think i'll make some M's and some other designs, for the car (composite to the popular Apple sticker everyone has), the laptop, etc. As i see ducks are popular? Why is that (CC ducky caps, Mr. Webit)? It remains a mystery for me. For example make an IBM styled duck.



If someone wants a sticker, i'm happy to make it. Or some good ideas, not only boring logos.

You mean an IBM Duck?

Something like that, yes!

I would be up for IBM and IBM-duck for sure, if they're cool enough to make!

The ALPS slider shape would be a good, simple design. Sell it in a variety of colours-- green, blue, white, off-white.

I'd be up for some IBM and cherry stickers, too.

Nice! I would love to get some Topre stickers. Would you consider ordering another colour if I reimbursed you the cost?

I wanted to do also Topre stickers, i think it's just a darker blue? I didn't really find anything regarding the correct color, only some logo images.

I think it's more of like a faded Cadbury purple?

That's really a purple touch! These are the available colors.

I tried to find a similar color (it's not really accurate, but more or less you'll see what you get).

Ohh nice - for me it's a toss-up between 196 and 406 -- leaning more toward 196. Which do you prefer?

I'd also say 196!

Topre is appealing!

Topre and IBMmmmmm…

I'd love to nab some IBM and Cherry ones

The logo on their website currently is more blue:

The first one is probably the closest.

Hmm you might be right actually, having looked at their website. It doesn't help when a Google search on Topre logo yields quite a few different shades.

The one above is from the wiki, and I took that from an actual Topre PDF, so it looks like Topre aren't too fussed about the exact shade. (At some point I should really redo that logo as SVG.) Google Images suggests a dark blue that is also fairly close to the first image.

Topre SVG?



Edit: Boredom makes a Topre-IBM mix.

That's funny, and now put the Cherries aside

IBM Cherry Topre?


Cherry IBM in red?


In blue?


Cherry Topre?


Eh, this is getting a tad ridiculous.

Haha! I like the first one. Three heavyweights in one. If only we could get Alps in there somehow.

Haha, that's hilarious!

Oval like the old Alps logo had?

I think that would only work if you had the letters fill out the oval like the Alps one does.
I like the old Alps logo, too

The Alps logo is g-r-e-a-t!

That's perfect. I'd buy that as a badge and put it on a keyboard.

Almost. The gaps are too narrow ;-)

How do pvc film stickers work? They have a transparent background? White? No background? It sets limitations, e.g. check the D of deskthority here:



The IBM style logos would be hard with no background?
