How about a bumper sticker?

Something like "Empeg Powered" or "Powered by Empeg".

I don't recommend putting this on anyone's car... seems like an advertisement for theft...

If people are interested in empeg stickers or magnets, I think I might be able to print up a limited run of those for a pretty cheap price. Provided of course, that I have permission to use the empeg logo, and provided there is interest.

Yes...but how many people would actually know what an Empeg is? I don't think your run-of-the-mill thief hangs out on Slashdot in his/her free time.

How about this rough mockup? (see attached)

This is my same thought.
If you think that here in Italy there are only TWO guys at this time have the empeg in their cars (to become four when mine and my friend's units will arrive), an "Empeg" sticker on car could made people think to a clothes brand...

Not a bad idea. I'll have to grab one of mine and stick it over the Rio logo.

How about adding Tux to it as well?

Thats part of the deal - the empeg runs Linux so its got to have Tux on it somewhere!

I've been thinking about embroidered iron-on patches for the Empeg carry case. I thought that could look rather smart. Something with the Tux logo on it and maybe a reference to "Simply The Best MP3 Car Player" or similar. What do people think?

Actually we have shipped to six clients in Italy - not our largest market, admittedly!

We have quite a lot of bumper stickers (including the old square one and the less old oval ones) and also some Mk.2 empeg product labels (in fact I think we threw away most of those). The overhead in shipping them out from Cambridge is too great, so I'm saving them up for owner meets.

Cool, having the old full panal empeg sticker would be cool.

Speaking of owners meets, did you find a date in the March-May timeframe?

Just how big are they? If they're not that big, can't you just stick them in a normal envelope with a 35 cent stamp on it? Even if they are a little bigger, you can use the slightly larger envelopes and 80 cent stamps

I just meant I wouldn't put one on my car, but I would love one too. I got one with my Mk II (and a static window sticker too IIRC). They rock!

Hi, Rob,

how about I fax you a UPS label? Could you put a bunch of stickers in a box and slap the label on it? I promise I will give them to people on the list for postage.

Just for those of us who may never make it to meets in the UK...

I don't mind sending some stickers to someone who is willing to distribute them in their country just for the cost of postage and (reasonable!) handling. I guess that someone should have paypal. I'd be happy to make Mk.2 buttons available in the same way.

If you want to do this, email me ([email protected])

Looks like Rob has enough of a supply of stickers so I'm bailing out of this one.

Yes, I would get some of those too!
Is it possible to have a preview here? Maybe you can attach a pic?
Thanks!
