#666 SCaLE 18x Ribbons Request
Closed: Fixed 4 years ago by duffy. Opened 4 years ago by lajuggler.

Do we have authorization to draw up the designs and immediate order for 300 1-5/8x4 ribbons, as the event rapidly approaches? About $150 in budget should cover making Fedora branded ribbon badges.

The ribbons are to encourage guests at SCaLE18x to publicize their Fedora community support.

Suggested vendor: Ribbons Galore.

Lead time 2 days. Need by: 22 Feb (in anticipation of our rapidly approaching SCaLE18x event).

Cross reference: https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/169 for @riecatnor's +1 for our swag suggestions for this event. Leftover ribbons can be designed generically for future event re-use.

Thank you!


@lajuggler please run any design by me, email duffy@redhat.com and i will respond within 12 hours. I can also design it for you if you can wait until Monday

@lajuggler unfortunately I can't approve this. We cannot mix the Fedora trademark with Tux, and the freedom features friends first tagline is in the wrong position and incorrect font. I can mock smtg up for you today - do you have the vendor specs or contact info for the vendor so I can contact them?

(I did check with Ribbons Galore, this should match the specs for their 4" x 1 5/8" badge ribbon. I could not mock up with their website though, the flash mockup tool keeps crashing.)

Hi @duffy, Ribbons Galore appears to accept only PNG files, and they must be in black text, since these are 1-color ribbons (white artwork on blue ribbon). We can try a different vendor for multi-color ribbons, but that drives the cost up.

That crashing there sounds difficult; sorry to hear that that is not working out at the moment. The tool does not seem to crash on my setup here.

I had to convert the SVG file to a PNG file and render the artwork in black for this 2nd mock-up.

The design tool shows the print area [indicating safe zones].

We can also submit the entire design to their pro team to optimize the image, but that also drives the cost up too. Let me know if you'd prefer that we go that route. We'd need to submit payment prior to that, however, and that supposedly comes with a preview.

We are getting close to our deadline for this event, so please advise how you would like to proceed. Thanks!

Here's a mockup of the ribbon with a PNG format file.

https://www.pcnametag.com/ takes SVG files for the final format and also has a Custom Services option (fee based) as well. Their non-Custom Services tool doesn't seem to be accepting SVG files, though.

@lajuggler it looks like they don't have the resolution required for the icons. Let's just do the word mark. Please use the attached.

I'll submit the order (wordmark only) in tonight (ETA 11P Pacific) Thanks!

Will do white wordmark on blue ribbon. Depending on shipping, may adjust
numbers for labels up or down to facilitate arrival in time for our event.
Thanks!!!

Thanks @duffy for all your help.

The order has been submitted and is currently being processed!

How do I arrange for reimbursement for the order? Thank you.

Hi @lajuggler, open a ticket on fedora-budget with your receipts. Thanks!

Hi @duffy :

Could you send me the SVG for just the wordmark?

Hi @duffy :

(please disregard the last post)

Could you send me the SVG [vector] for just the wordmark? The vendor will be looking at your original design SVG and the wordmark only (Fedora word only) design SVG and they are going to try to adjust the words under the icons [in the first design] to see if they can be more legible...

I'm not exactly sure why they didn't take our "fedora word" only PNG, but we'll try to see what happens here...

Let me know how you would like to proceed. Thanks!

@lajuggler I am travelling without access to a computer until Sunday night, I could send then? I dont want their artists messing with the file though, it should just be the logotype and no icons.

Thanks. :)

Looking forward to it on Sunday. Safe travels!!!

Any news on that wordmark only SVG source file @duffy ? The ribbon vendor is still awaiting it and our event is coming up fast...

Thanks!

@riecatnor are there any methods of alternately contacting @duffy? We were expecting to hear back from her Sunday / 23 February. Our event approaches rapidly. Thank you.

Also, just a heads up, since we are running the risk of missing of our deadline due to the source SVG delay, we may need to pay extra for express shipping.

We look forward to hearing from one or more of you soon. Thank you.

Here is the wordmark only SVG. The vendor could have taken this out of the SVG already sent. Please do let them know the icons should not be used and only this wordmark should be on the ribon.
