Need advice on stickers...

Ok, so I want to get stickers made, to hand out at my gig
in august.

I was just wondering.... what should I put on it?

Its definatly going to say kcinsu, and www.kcinsu.com at the
bottom, or corner... but should i put something like
"Downtempo & Ambient Electronic Music" or, "Downtempo &
Ambient IDM" or something to that extent?

?

Its gotta be minimal, cause its black and white (less $$$)

What would YOU want to see on a bands sticker? What kind of
info?

Thanks!

website info, logo, perhaps a slogan like uve suggested.

I would be appy. And it would go straight on one of my
guitars or synths.

Infact...could you send one to me?

I dont think that sorta stuff matters that badly. If they
are really bothered then your website tells it all.

Good visuals are whats important.

yeah, i bought the csound book in september, but it scared
the crap out of me... and I didnt get into... but now that
im in the class, and I have someone who can explain things
verbally, it helps alot more.

but really, once you get over the first hurdle of
understanding its style, it isnt so bad :)

you don't really need to put what style it is if you're
handing them out at a gig. they'll hear your stuff then
anyway. use the space better with a logo and website
promotion.

Are you actually getting it professionally made? I don't
know the proper english term, but you know... at a
professional printer. Not just at the copy-shop.

Because if you are, it would probably cost just as much to
use any other ink than black. And that would look a whole
lot better and less "cheap" if you know what i mean. Like
you could make it darkblue&white. Or brown&white, or
whatever other color you like.

I would just put www.kcinsu.com and some sort of logo on it.
Keep it mysterious :-p

i see...
That looks pretty good :-) And cheap!
But i see they don't let you choose the ink-color if you're
only using one ink. Oh well... that's probably why they're
so cheap ;-)

You'll just have to make the best possible b&w design then
:-)

You can do ALOT with black and white, just look at
underworlds "dubnobasswithmyheadman" cover. It just has to
be a good design. You could use zip-a-tone if you want
shades of gray as well.

As far as the style of music, I would say leave it out. You
should be able to tell what kind of music it is by the
design.

[ ] pushers' "doyou know squarepusher", the Chemical
Brothers' "dig your own hole", and Coldplays' "a rush of
blood to the head" are good B&W designs too. I don't think
those look "cheap" either.

my .04¢
