Jennifer,
Thanks for tweaking and combining these designs! In general, some comments:
I think we'd like to retain the order of the chevron, the image of the bicycle, and the "may use full lane" language. This more closely imitates the design of the signs and lane markings around town. See a mock up attached as "version7" (sorry for the
poor image quality; the image trace didn't work too well on your PNG). Would you be able to move Option D and E to reflect this order and reply all to this email?
Board -- what do you think about the five options as proposed and my variant? Option D, Option E, and Version7 are much closer to what we agreed on at our meeting, but I thought I'd share the others with you too.
Also to the board: the only color available as a background for the reflective stickers is white. As a reminder, these stickers will be produced in two sizes as agreed upon at our meeting. The current proposed variants are 2" x 3", just under the size
of a credit card, and will be printed on a retroreflective material. The same design will be produced on nonreflective material, probably around 3.5"x 5.25".
Finally to the board, please comment on these designs before tomorrow morning.
Thanks all!
-Drew

Good morning,
Geordie forwarded me your ideas for the stickers. I kept the same esthetic of your drafts, but tweaked them a little bit. Please respond to this email with feedback as needed.
Thanks,

Geordie,Heard Chip and you chatted today -- he told me to forward you some art to see if we couldn't get a few hundred stickers printed. FYI -- none of us are graphic designers and we are totally open to suggestions for changes!Attached are the two main designs we're considering in illustrator format as well as some alternates in a jpg. Let me know if you'd like anything in a different format or color encoding scheme. It would be nice to have one or both incorporate a retroreflective material. The shade of the background is unimportant as long as it's white-ish, and we aren't married to the exact colors we've selected for the gradient or heart. The 80's gradient sticker I'm sending you was originally sent to me as an actual smooth gradient. However, when I image-traced it, I chose not to use the high-fidelity function to match it. Again, we're not picky about it at this point.More or less, we'd like to keep the cost down to less than a dollar per sticker.Thanks!Drew-------------------J.D. Gatlin
