This company is still developing its technology so I look forward to the “trends” functionality and the ability to pull rss feeds of my favorite searches.

The team at backtype needed stickers, so we did what we do best, made them stickers, so they could focus on their product. Give backtype a try it is pretty slick.

First we have Kerub , from Hebrew mythology, who is an angel that often mediates between the Divine and human. This praying Kerub has many eyes, which signifies a multiple awareness of the Creation.

 Amrita, from Hindu/Buddists mythology, is “the fluid of immortality”.  In this sticker we see the rare event of spiritual intelligence ascending to the Crown chakra thus beginning the flow of amrita, conferring not only longevity but everlasting youth. 

In Moon’s Road, from Celtic mythology, there is the depiction of a young Celtic shaman poised on a zig-zag trail lit by the moon light. He is ready for is journey to the underworld.

Melek Ta’us from Middle Eastern mythology, also referred to as “the Peacock Angel”, is the lover of the Goddess in the Feri tradition. This entity is also referred to as the God of the deepest self or “the Blue One”.

Finally we have the New Aeon Nataraj from the Vedic myths and cosmology. Nataraj means “Lord of the Dance” and refers to Shiva. New Aeon refers to the next phase of humankind’s collective spiritual growth. His left hand is in the mudra gesture signifying Simba (the lion) and his right hand is in the padma (the lotus).

Not only are these stickers full of vibrant color and visual movement but the each tell a signifigant story. They come to us at a time when many people are looking to a spiritual answer to the trials of life.

The cool team from The Shoppe Denver came to us for stickers, we love stickers, but rather than showing you a picture of the stickers, I thought I’d show you the actual cupcakes they brought us. I love them.
Cupcakes = Love

From The Ground Up is a new documentary about this renewed American hobby. We were lucky enough to be able to produce stickers for the team making the film.

More About The Movie(from the movie’s blog)
From the Ground Up is a feature length documentary that delves into the lives of gardeners in three cities, weaving their stories together to showcase their individual struggles and common goals.

We visit the San Francisco Civic Center Victory Garden, Nuestras Raices, a community gardening group in western MA, and a single mother of twin boys in Sacramento, CA who fights city hall to keep her front yard garden.

The film allows these unique stories to be united through the narrative representation of a garden’s life cycle, paying close attention to the lives of some remarkable people who have succeeded at turning the old Victory Garden movement into a new and surprisingly successful reality.

More about TMBG

They Might Be Giants (TMBG) is a double Grammy Award-winning American alternative rock band which began as a duo of John Flansburgh and John Linnell, and currently also includes Marty Beller, Dan Miller, and Danny Weinkauf. Formed in 1982, they are best known for an unconventional and experimental style of alternative music. The group has found success on the modern rock and CMJ charts, in the children’s music genre, and in theme music for several television programs and films.

TMBG’s best-known songs include “Birdhouse in Your Soul” and their cover version of “Istanbul (Not Constantinople)” (both from the 1990 album, Flood), “Don’t Let’s Start” (from 1986’s They Might Be Giants), and “Ana Ng” (from 1988’s Lincoln). Their appearances on the television show Tiny Toon Adventures also brought attention to their songs “Particle Man” and “Istanbul”. Their song “Doctor Worm” was a surprise hit in Australia, ranking 13th in the Triple J Hottest 100 for the year 1998. Two TMBG albums have been certified gold: Flood and the 2005 children’s music album Here Come the ABCs. Flood has also been certified platinum.

The team at KISSmetrics and I were discussing the difference between cheap digital stickers and high-end custom manufactured stickers and we came up with this project. This sticker is the KISSmetrics logo, done in 5 Pantone colors on a prismatic Mylar stock and topped with a domed epoxy clear coat.

The counter top display box that they printed for the milk chocolate boxes had a typo on it. On one panel it said “Dark Chocolate” instead of “Milk Chocolate” so we made a sticker that was designed to fit on the box in a design friendly way and cover up the typo.

The fix was a success, so look for these delicious chocolate cups in a health food store near you.

The solution, a shiny sticker on a red tube. We printed a 1-color blue on a standard “prismatic” foil stock, die-cut it into a special shape for the tubes and taa daa, a gift wrapped poster tube!

If you are one of those people Foodzie is for you, it is the clearinghouse for artisan foods from all over, good stuff, take some time and check out Foodzie, you will be glad you did.

Foodzie needed some stickers, so we made these die-cut four-color process stickers digitally for them.

StickerGiant was testing a new printer that makes full color stickers die-cut in small quantities, so we printed these awesome stickers. Each Egg represents a different application from Aviary.

Take a tour of Skribit

Skribit needed a few stickers, so we made them on a new digital press we are testing out in the office.

The first version of this product was a hit, but probably too expensive to become commercially successful and had a few issues. The first was that they were hard to peel, I went for a heavy duty feel and the result was overkill. The second issue was Guy wasn’t sure if he liked the card “info” on the inside of the backing or the outside, so we did it differently this time, we’ll let him decide.

The defacto conference that Affiliate Marketers attend is Affiliate Summit. The leaders and founders of Affiliate Summit are Shawn Collins and Missy Ward. Missy is passionate about making a difference and her passion has changed the nature of internet marketing for the good.

One example of this is her work running Affiliate Marketers Give Back, a charity that raises money for Breast Cancer research. StickerGiant was asked to make some stickers for this event, and we were flattered.

Missy Ward shows off her sticker.
