Definitely one for the dedicated - and solvent; wish they sold them in smaller quantities as even I would struggle to stick up 25x8 stickers, although I like the designs.
I'd be happy to split a pack 2-3 ways if anyone feels the same?

Hi mike.
I think it's good but I would still go for short sharp facts including the human cost lives lost ect..the economy again short sharp facts..re pubs ect .
I imagine if I saw a poster it would have to be something that first catches my eye then makes me stay to read it all.
If people are not ls to start with it needs to make them think quickly to process it enough to feel uncomfortable so I would speak in language to your targets..such as freedoms lost..no hugs..even bloody board games..the continuing care home saga..weddings ..funerals .poverty lines..even christmas..
😀

Hi Mike,

I like the inclusion of the link on the sticker but I don't think it necessary to have any further text added. Reason being, the name of the site "Lockdown Sceptics" is very telling in and of itself. I.e. I'd think anyone reading just that would immediately understand what's it about. IMHO a clean and "to the point" desing often prevents people from switching to the TL;DR mode 🙂

So how about something like this?

Ideally someone with reasonable photoshop skills would take care of this? I've done this in MS Paint 😀

But seriously, this should look presentable (especially if we are going to self-finance the printing of it). The font should be the same or similar to that of the logo, including the spacing and all. And images sharp, not blurry like mine lol

Yes, I know what you mean. Stickers with that size and aspect ratio have now been ordered (although I could slice them in two). They need something added because of the extra space. The 'Stay Sceptical. Control the Hysteria. Save Lives' goes part way towards this.

Perhaps just one bold statement along the lines of "Don't accept the nonsense", "Check for yourself", "Stop further damage" or similar?

Another point to consider, related to the layout of LS, is that some brief introduction page for newcomers is essential. For newcomers, it is rather like jumping into a thicket of views. It is one of the reasons that I thought some bullet points on the sticker would help.

Just a thought: the Evidence not Fear website us actually a more accessible site for newcomers as the home screen is much clearer and better focused.
