I printed 500, thinking there would be some leftovers to distribute afterwards. But either git is very popular, or somebody decided to re-wallpaper their bedroom, because we ran out. In case anybody wants to make their own git sticker (or whatever), I'm providing the SVG that I sent to the printer. I ordered 2"x4" stickers, but it's scalable, you should be able to do any size. Credit where credit is due: The logo is shamelessly stolen from one Sam Vilain made for GitTogether t-shirts in 2008. It's really just the "---/+++" logo done in FreeMono with a few pretty colors and outlines. I have no idea who did the original "---/+++" logo. It's awesome, but I couldn't find a nice scalable version, hence this. -Peff ``` ## Michael J Gruber, 2011-11-02 08:32 Subject: Re: git sticker svg Message-ID: <4EB1002A.6010602@drmicha.warpmail.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4EB1002A.6010602%40drmicha.warpmail.net In-Reply-To: <20111101211643.GA12768@sigill.intra.peff.net> ``` Jeff King venit, vidit, dixit 01.11.2011 22:16: > If you were at the GSoC mentor summit or the GitTogether last week, you > may seen Git stickers floating around.

Yeah, git has been G-+ long before G+ ;) I do prefer the rotated, vertically stacked +-G though (with + <-> t, - <-> i, G <-> 3/4-circle with arrow). Good thing we don't have to argue about an "official" logo...

It somehow reminds me of the OGC logo fiasco, though. ``` ## Michael J Gruber, 2011-11-02 09:54 Subject: Re: git sticker svg Message-ID: <4EB11364.4010004@drmicha.warpmail.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4EB11364.4010004%40drmicha.warpmail.net In-Reply-To: <7vy5vykhl3.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` Junio C Hamano venit, vidit, dixit 02.11.2011 10:18: > Michael J Gruber writes: > >> I do prefer the rotated, vertically stacked +-G though (with + <-> t, - >> <-> i, G <-> 3/4-circle with arrow).

Good thing we don't have to argue > about an "official" logo... I actually don't like the stacked +-G (I find it hard to read). But since I was ordering the stickers, I got to decide. :) I think it's clear that we don't want to get into an "official" logo argument, though. I'll let whoever orders stickers next time make the decision. :) -Peff ```
