Alright all. Here are the nominees. Make your choices in the comments
For reference, 1000 4x4 stickers are priced at:
1 color is $168
2 colors is $281
3 colors is $393
and 4 colors is $506.
White does not count as a color. I would prefer to keep it one color but two could be okay. That said, some of these (the circuits) would need to be adjusted to one or two colors in order to make them work.

We're very close to getting that donate button. We're just waiting on some banking stuff.
Sure you can. We need to make them first. As for the cost, we have been paying for them ourselves for years. We will continue to do so, but soon we will also have a donation button so that people can help out with all of the sites expenses. This will be nice and will hopefully allow us to do more cool things even beyond stickers.
#2, and second choice is the last one, with minor changes #1 Doesn't fit in with the rest of Hubski's design, so I'd say no. Also, if this were to be miniaturized for the web, it may be cluttered and difficult to read. As a stand-alone art piece, though, it has merits. #2 I really like this one, but instead of 4chan, I'd use reddit. I think this one would appeal instinctively to the widest number of people, and capitalizes on current social networking politics in a humorous way. #3 I like, it's clear, vivid, well-designed. Wondering, however, what the average non-hubski-er would get out of it, if that is these sticker's intention #4 Visually, it's nice. Doesn't use Hubski's name, and it seems more a non-specific illustration, which reduces its viability, and some people might not like that graphic (they prefer different styles), reducing its use. #5 It's nicely done, but the designer in me is sensing something off about it. Also, this white lines in a sea of dark color can be difficult printing wise. The "stars" also seem random and I'm not sure what they refer to. It also doesn't share hubski's color scheme. #6 Better visually. The logo, however, I don't see it reflecting hubski's actual logo. Also, the visuals in the background could be misinterpreted, misconstrued in a number of ways, and might present problems with printing it. #7 Replace the logo with the hubski wheel we're all familiar with, and this would be my second choice. I really like "What can be learned?" it's a good tagline with a multiplicity of uses. However, let's say that image were to be printed on much smaller stickers. The small size of the text in the corner present problems when considering printing different sizes.
I vote for number five. That said, I really think you should flush out that one of people at a table as tags. My only reservation about number five is the color. Will it stand out? Also, to everyone that contributed, these are extremely awesome! The one about 4chan have me laughing out loud
#7, then #1. They're all awesome though!! Props to everyone for their great designs!
#4 is my favorite, followed closely by #3 and #5
Aww dude #1 is so dope. Great work keifermiller, I'd love to see what other ideas/designs you have if any..
I'll vote for #3, except with "a thoughtful web" replaced with "what can be learned?"
My vote goes to #5. Something about space speaks to me in a very intimate way.
