Wear it with pride!

Hello,
after a long trial and error session installing BL on my newly purchased netbook, I thought "Why not to show it off!", so I sat down to plot a vinyl sticker for the front lid covering the ugly Acer logo wink

So as this is the Artwork section, I thought it might be interesting not only to show the interior, but also the exterior big_smile

This is what I came up with...

More pics to follow.

Best regards
Merlin

Hey! That looks really neat! Good job. I'm stuck using a work laptop so I cant add anything to it like that. I do carry around an external monitor at times, so maybe I can add something to that. How'd you make the sticker?

I own a plotter (Brother CM900) so that was maybe a little help smile

1st I bought the cheapest automobile vinyl that was available (around 3€/m).
2nd I downloaded the BL logo from wikipedia (because it was SVG instead of JPG)
3rd I edited it with Inkskape (I tend to use *only* opensource for my hobbies).
4th I plotted it and transferred it to the lid.

Duration, some 30min...

Best regards
Merlin

"/usr/share/images/bunsen/icon-avatar/*.svg" (and on our github) wink

If you don't have them, then install bunsen-images-extra (I can't remember if they are in the default install).

Oh, that explains it... As my laptop has only a 32GB eMMC I did not install those... But thanks for the tip smile

Regards

Yep, that's true big_smile

That looks great. I'd love to adorn some Bunsen propaganda on my lappy.
Unfortunately, there's still no sign of BunsenLabs stickers available for purchase.
