We've been out of PLA stickers for awhile now. We need new ones. So I'm talking to a guy to get some prices on vinyl stickers. Here's what they may or may not look like:
(http://www.phonelosers.org/stuff/sticker01_small.jpg)(http://www.phonelosers.org/stuff/sticker02_small.jpg)(http://www.phonelosers.org/stuff/sticker03_small.jpg)
The 2nd one is just like the old PLA sticker (http://www.phonelosers.org/store/stickers/) that I used to sell. I doubt I'll end up making the 3rd one because 3 color vinyl stickers are probably too expensive.
Anyone have any other ideas/requests for stickers?
-
I think you should make some stickers based on the kilroy was here thing. Make it say PLA was here. Then edit in something PLA related where the guy's face would be. That way when we don't put these in our schools, phone booths, urinals, etc. people will know who put them there.
-
The first sticker should be the most cost efficient since no colors are used so id go with that one.
But hey, why not make homegrown like the one shown below.

Nice! What's it say?
I could easily make stickers on my ink jet printer, but the quality of those doesn't compare to vinyl.
-
vinyl :) /me drools.... my macBook would like the first one with the white around it.. or maybe make them round? i definitely like the first one.

Those are all round stickers. I just didn't bother removing the background to them. The first sticker will definitely be made, and most likely the 2nd one too.
-
I'll certainly take some of those. My
minions friends and I go crazy with stickers...we've covered places with V2 stickers (freestickers.org), SubGenius stickers, and even shitty ones I made with a sharpie and some labels I stole from work and drew cactuses and weird things on. Stickers rule, and PLA can only improve on a good thing.
-
Just a thought here, how much would transparent stickers cost? I know the vinyl ones are a good idea ,
but for glass and stuff it would look cool. ;D
-
RTF still has a small cache of the original round PLA bell stickers. I stole one from him last month and put it on my then PLA-sticker-less laptop. Quick, everyone private message RTF and ask him to sell you PLA stickerz!!!@2
-
Maybe we Arbie could put a link to all items for sale on the bar at the top of the screen. That would simplify things a bit.
-
The stickers I made were from address labels. I just put the logo in and the website nothing to fancy.
-
I think a new batch of the old style bright green ones would be nice. Not to mention, some new PLA stickers to play with.
-
I like the idea of tagging pay phones. My greatest feat yet was putting one on a phone outside a verizon office, you know, the ones for calling a dept. within that building. It was gone after a couple days, but other PLA stickers I have placed are still there! :)
What is the worst crime you could be committing my putting one of those stickers on a handset anyway,
Or what is the worst thing that can happen to you? ( Along with the likely things that will happen to you)

Taxi and tow companies put their stickers on pay phones all the time. So I doubt much can happen to you. Otherwise, the cops wouldn't have too hard of a time finding the taxi and tow places to arrest them.

I ordered more stickers last night. Guess I'll have them in a couple weeks. I didn't go with the vinyl, but instead ordered from iprint.com, which is the same place I got the original round yellow stickers from. They're good quality stickers and suitable for laptops and outdoors. The new stickers will look something like this:
(http://www.phonelosers.org/stuff/sticker02_small.jpg)
Only orange instead of yellow. The only color they had, aside from white, gold and silver was orange. We'll have to wait and see if that looks horrible or not.
So if I did a rectangular sticker, similar to the old green one, what should it say? How about one specifically for pay phones? Any ideas?
-
How about getting Phone losers tape printed, then you could just wrap the whole pay phone in that. ;D ( I did this once with Packing tape from a local skateshop )
-
I almost want a sticker that say something to the extent of "This phone is owned by the PLA Phone Corp. , for support please contact www.phonelosers.org"
But it doesn't have the hilarity for non PLAers.
It could always be turned into a pun though:
"This phone (is / has been / was / [omit word]) (owned / own3d / pwned) by the PLA, for support please contact www.phonelosers.org"

Didn't the old green one say "The PLA used this phone to harass someone, and they didn't pay for it either!" Then it had http://www.phonelosers.org (http://www.phonelosers.org) on it?

I stole a pile of labels from work and wrote many weird things on them with a sharpie. I later went and stuck them all over a local theatre, and one of them was PLA related. I harassed a friend of mine who works the concession to give me one of those 'special water cups' that taste like coke, but she wouldn't go for it, so I waited for her to turn away and I stuck a label reading 'The PLA pwnt your mom last night' on the til. It was there for several nights after that, and so was one I put on a payphone reading 'OMG HAX'.
UPDATE: that story is really lame...don't bother reading it. What WOULD be cool however would be if the image on the media DVD that says 'The PLA used this payphone to annoy the hell out of somebody' became a sticker.
-
You mean like THIS ONE?
(http://i15.tinypic.com/2u46g6h.jpg)
-
Sorta. The one on the DVD has a picture of a payphone. Those are nifty too though.
-
I still Think PLA packing tape would be neat *rainbowsmiley*
-
orange and black will r0x what diameter are they so i can plan out it's destiny on my macBook. ? too bad they're not vinyl, i hope they wont fade to easily. :)

They're 3". If they're anything like the old yellow stickers, there shouldn't be a problem with fading. These are really durable, shiny stickers. I got an email today that they've been shipped so I should have them in a day or two.
-
Speaking of vinyl, did you know you can mail records w/o packaging? So Arbie what would you say your favorite record is?
-
You can send anything without packaging, I've sent an unpackaged coconut from Hawaii to my friend before.
-
I sent my friend some cocaine without packaging.
-
If you put marijuana in a can of coffee and package it up the dogs can't smell it!
Wow, this thread got completely off topic in three posts.
Now I gotta design a sticker or something so I can get one. It sucks being poor.
-
The stickers arrived today. Here are some pics:
(http://www.phonelosers.org/photos/albums/userpics/10001/normal_orange_stickers01.jpg) (http://www.phonelosers.org/photos/albums/userpics/10001/normal_orange_stickers02.jpg)
The 3" diameter covers a pretty large portion of my laptop screen, but if you position it carefully enough you don't lose too much useful screen space. I didn't realize how day-glo orange these stickers would be. They're really bright. On the page I ordered them from, they were a very dark orange.
Price: 2 stickers for $1.00 total. That's the no profit for me just for forum users price. Send your dollar to rbcp@phonelosers.org. When I put them up in the store, it'll probably end up being more like 10 stickers for $3.00 plus shipping. Or something like that. Also, if you order anything else from the PLA store, I'll be throwing in a free sticker or two.
I'd like to order a few other misc. sticker designs so I can throw them all together in some kind of sticker package. So if anyone has some sticker ideas, post them here.

sweet, i just bought 10 8)

What about PLA bumper stickers. I would like to see a sticker that says "PLA killed my friend"

"Friends don't let friends listen to PLA Radio"

I went here, and just took a PLA "lightning Bell" and uploaded it. It's kinda stupid because it's still got their URL on it, but it was fun to sneak the PLA bell by them!
-
Now that I'm no longer in debt, I'd be willing to print up a set of stickers similar to the old green payphone stickers, and sell them to PLA members. If I get some support behind this, I'll order a roll, and make them available. RBCP, I hope you don't mind forum members making their own PLA stuff, and making a couple of Presidents on the side.
-
Yeah, I definitely need some pay phone stickers. How much can I offer you to get my hands on some?

Nah, I don't mind at all.

I found two original green PLA payphone stickers, It'll cost you $5.41.
-
I want vintage 1995 PLA Gear for that price.
-

I'm gonna get a roll of 500 of them run off at like 45.00 a roll, so I'd say 2 for .50, 4 to a dollar, and I'll give ya 10 for 5. Let me get them ordered up, and I'll give you a way to pay me.
-
these stickers are awesome, i had to replace the one on my laptop though cos, i cleaned the top with windex aollow me numbers would be kind of pointless these days since everyone has a cell phone now.nd the black ink faded when i accidentally wiped over the stick :S
so dont clean them with windex damnit! X)

Damn, that sucks. I thought they were more waterproof than that. I'll stick one somewhere outside tonight, just to see how well they do in the rain. Maybe I need to splurge for some vinyl stickers after all.
-
well, we covered mostly everything in weak-net labs with them, and theres no water in there, thankfully.
-
My PLA sticker cracked and eventually fell off my car after 2 months.

After 2 days in the rain, my PLA stickers are holding up fairly well outdoors. This picture was taken right after I stuck them on a trash can. Since water kind of settles in that place, they're both wrinkling a bit. But they aren't fading or smearing yet.

This may look a bit crap, but it's being printed tomorrow. ;D
-
I put stickers on the sides of pay phone booth's around town. I think one got ripped down.
-
Vinyl is going to be the only type of sticker that will hold up in rainy weather for an extended period of time, not to say you won't get a decent lifespan out of the other kind... vinyl just seems to last forever though.
-
a year later...
I'm ordering vinyl stickers today! They're going to be round, around 3 inches and in color. And a black/white version too. They're going to be just like those shitty orange stickers (I got rid of all of those at Hope/Defcon) except they'll be black and vinyl. Isn't this exciting?? Once I get them you all get one for free.

VINYL? Does that mean it wont fall off my car after a month?
-
Immediately before opening this thread I was remarking how the ugly orange one on my wall is peeling. I'll be down for free stickers any time.
-
do i get any? i still have all of the ones i got in the contest
-

Yes, you fall into the category of "you all."

Awesome, more shit to stick on my PC ;D
Good thing, too. The Ubuntu stickers were getting kinda lonely...
-

I table the motion to henceforth not include nova ever again in any activity or mention of "you all" ever again.
-
Motion seconded.
-
yay, more stickers!! :D
i'm still in the process of sticking the bazillion stickers i got at HOPE on random pay phones, but i'd love one of the shiny new vinyl ones...that's going on something of mine. :D
-
Well, it's only taken me a year and a half but I finally got the vinyl stickers today. Here's an image of one stuck on my laptop:
(http://www.phonelosers.org/images/store_stickers/2008_vinyl_sticker_color01_small.jpg) (http://www.phonelosers.org/images/store_stickers/2008_vinyl_sticker_color01.jpg)(http://www.phonelosers.org/images/store_stickers/2008_vinyl_sticker_color02.jpg)
It's kind of big at 3 1/4" but it's shiny, colorful and vinyl. As promised, you all get one for free. So PM me (http://www.phonelosers.org/forums/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=1) with your address and I'll mail one out this week. This free sticker offer is good for one month. (I'm just throwing that disclaimer in there so some newb doesn't PM me in 2 years asking for a sticker.)
I'll probably do a 2" vinyl after these run out.
Oh, I also got the same sticker, but only in black and white. So if for some reason you'd prefer no color (you racist), let me know and I'll give you that one instead.
-
And maybe you all noticed that nice UPL sticker on rbcp's laptop, eh? Wouldn't you all like to sport that?
I know you do.

Get out of my thread, you sell out!

I would like a sticker, please.
*puts on a fake moustache*
And so would I.

I got a question. What if I have more than one address--like, say, three--would you send a sticker to each one? Or would I also have to wear a fake moustache like RTF?

Ingenious! Mailing out two little stickers in a large box with bubble wrap. The disappointment of finding out that box contained only those two small items. Your day must have been ruined.

Both Nova and Lord Nod suck for giving me fake addresses to send stickers to. I hate you both.

Uh, that was my actual mailing address. No, really. Did they get returned to you for some reason? What was written on the envelope when you got it back? Should I PM you my address again? Maybe I mistyped or transposed something before. I wouldn't intentionally give you a wrong address. I WANT STICKERS!
