Vinyl, YES! Paper, don't waste my time. LOL
What makes you say the VCF logo isn't OK as-is? Just curious. I am not graphic designer so I have no constructive criticism to offer, I guess I am just used to it, and kind of fond of it and its designer.
The logo itself is good, it's just the black background as seen on the website. That doesn't look right as a contemporary laptop sticker. Maybe circuit-board light green. Play up the circuit-trace laurel. That's the only tweak I'd make for a sticker. I said invert previously, but on second thought a white background isn't right either. 2" is perfect sized if you have to pick just one. The great thing about StickerMule and its competitors is that you don't need to commit to huge production quantities in standard shapes - you could get them in 2/4/6" sizes in whatever quantities. I'm not sure on what other swag to make but I'll think on it. These days at conferences and vendor visits I personally tend to only take stickers unless they have something really funny (my squishy Zenoss zebra makes me laugh) or genuinely useful (I had a fantastic NetApp bottle opener). *thinks about a squishy foam miniature ADM-3A...* -- Jameel

Laptop stickers are generally high-quality, full-color, die-cut jobs like: https://www.stickermule.com/uses/laptop-stickers
These are thick vinyl with a tough matte finish.
This is what has become, for lack of a better term, industry standard in laptop stickers. Cheap paper or single-color screenprint is meh.
Sizing can vary but fitting somewhere around a 2x2" square is a popular size, or ~1x4" banner style.
(This is an odd thing to try to explain!)
I feel like the official VCF round logo isn't perfect as-is - it needs to be inverted or something, the black background isn't right for this.

That's a good one! What size? Bumper sticker? Or round (3 inch or so). Or smaller.

We are looking for ideas and suggestions for swag that people will like and buy at VCF East. We already will be selling t-shirts & polos. Likely we will have mugs, baseball caps, mousepads.
Does anyone have any great ideas?
Feel free to post here or email me separately.
