I'M REALLY SORRY FOR WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO SEE - I'M NOT A DESIGNER

This is a stub for the FOSDEM, since I'm going to quickly print 100 of these at my own expense. Here the stub:

Phorge sticker 2024.png (300×450 px, 18 KB)

My core goals were:

  • have something for the talk at FOSDEM - QUICKLY AAAAAH IT'S NEAR THE CORNER 1!1!1
  • have a nice sticker on my laptop and for my friends
  • be somehow like the Phorge interface, so, adopted "indigo" color (available from /config/edit/ui.header-color/)
  • mention Phabricator in a positive and lovely way (not just "we forked Phabricator", full stop. This is bad, since it seems that Phabricator was bad and so we forked it. It's not easy to clarify this on a sticker, but let's just remember this potential issue)
  • have the project homepage (not just a silly weird icon without any reference)
  • somehow say that this is related to "making software"

Nice to have:

  • clarify that Phorge helps in making better software or something like this. asd
  • having REALLY NOT a Pòkèmòn profile picture

Proposed Last-Minute Stub

I've realized this stub sticker 100% from scratch putting raw stuff together in 10 minutes so your are STRONGLY encouraged to do not re-use this thing, but re-invent the wheel again, with this receipt:

  • geometries:
    • top bar: just a rectangle with color "indigo"
    • borders: just a rectangle with white background and "indigo" borders
  • fonts:
    • title: Montserrat Bold
    • after-title: Montserrat Regular
    • bottom: Montserrat Slim (?) I do not remember :D
  • icon of Phorge top-left (hearth with clock) from Graphical Kit (I'm the author - public domain)
  • icons from Font Awesome top-right (from icon pack of Phorge)
    • menu
    • search
    • bookmark
  • profile picture of Phorge user
    • the one available in core from your Profile preferences. The one I would describe as "IT'S REALLY NOT CHARMANDER ASDLOL"

The sentence at the bottom does not convince me. So I tried various alternatives like:

💟 We fork Phabricator. You do good software.

💟 WE LOVE EVAN. THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH. PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR PHONE NUMBERS AND WE HAVE SUPER-NICE CHATS ABOUT PHABRICATOR ALL THE DAY AND ALL THE NIGHT. LONG LIFE TO PHABRICATOR.

💟 Phab. Nice.

💟 Phab Phings Phorking Phoftware :D :D :D :D SUPER EXCITING

In the end I will probably adopt this in the next 30 seconds:

💟 We fork Phabricator. You do good software.

Recap:

  • design: totally out of control. I've lost the file in the submission. Take the one above just as a raw example, we need a complete rewrite following the receip. asd
  • dimensions: 3'' x 2''
  • quantity: 100
  • text 1: "Phorge.it"
  • text 2: "💟 We fork Phabricator. You do good software."
  • time invested: 20-40 minutes
  • quick delivery: YES PLEASE RUN RUN TAKE MY MONEY BUT SHIP IT
  • cost: 62.81$ + 7.78$ shipping + 14.40 VAT (Italy) = $82.99
  • shipping to: Brussels, house of a friend of a friend of mine (?)
  • arrive at: 2 February (talk is 4 February)
  • who paid: @valerio.bozzolan - volunteer

So let's flag as Resolved. Sorry again for this minimum effort - minimum income.

TL;DR

Stickerssssssssssss
