2, 3, 4 feel more visually balanced than the previous ones. Good work.
(FWIW - not trained in visual design - just have my taste.)
About the URL: Even though some may feel that the "www" substring is
less
en vogue these days, I think it's better (for printed material) than
the
"http://"; substring when communicating a website address. Much easier
on
the eyes. And less geeky, FWIW.
I don't recommend simplifying it even further into "haiku-os.org", as
we
might lose the people who (at a glance) don't spot the address, since
there's too little visual distinction to make it stand out from normal
text.
(I'm thinking about printed material in general here, like the
leaflets,
etc, and not about the stickers particularly. It would be an
accomplishment
in attention deficit to miss that "haiku-os.org" is a domain name on
these
stickers for Haiku's target audience.)
(Oh! Jorge, how about a sticker that says "Haiku Madness" ? :-)
There's a tiny bit of Van Gogh in the colors of these badges.
Do we really want dry, factual stickers? Why not "Haiku Everywhere"
in Amiga Boing ball colors or "Haiku Domination" in black and gray
or "Haiku Kitty" in pink.
Or how about "Haiku - It's supergut!". A humorous tribute to our
awesome
German developers. :-) (I hope that doesn't offend anyone.)
