Geekhackers will go insane over this...

I can just see Photekq selling his clothes and going without heating this winter just to buy this...

Yep that metallic sticker was the first thing I noticed.

Wish we could find somewhere that could make some original looking Cherry stickers.

There are places... like this http://stickerobot.com/products/clear-stickers/ I haven't really looked around a lot for pricing though theirs doesn't seem unreasonable. It's something I have been wanting to do too. Of course the main problem is that I won't have permission from Cherry to make them, so need to find places that don't care about that.

Yeah their prices don't seam bad to me, but I'm not sure what the ideal price range would be.

Have you contacted them to see if they would do copyrighted logos, or it might be best to just submit the design and see if they say anything?

I just alerted Epzy about this... now to sit back and watch as the bidding heats up... but with oil having fallen lately maybe Norwegians are no longer feeling so rich...

  Quoting me causes a posting error that you need to ignore.
