It's very difficult to add attribution to a sticker which limits reuse possibilities.

I've just added a first draft for the MSnbase sticker. Feel free to modify @lgatto and @sgibb.

I made 3 versions of the sticker in 3 different blue tones. Unfortunately I like all 3 color combinations (with a slight preference for the second one). You can compare them on:
https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocStickers/blob/master/AnnotationFilter/README.md

Any votes?

Opening an issue here to keep track. Tagging @jorainer, @lievenclement, @lgatto (feel free to add others) for ideas about what could be used to represent Ghent 🙂

@jotsetung - where did you get them printed?

We are looking for new a sticker for the Bioconductor teaching committee.

@jorainer - if you feel inspired and have some time :-)

This issue is to collect ideas for the logo/sticker of the CAB. I made a first sketch for the sticker:

It shows the BioC note being ~ carried by the community and questions, answers and ideas coming from it.

Happy for feedback from the CAB members (@aedin @spholmes @kozo2 @lshep et al.)

I guess there's need for a sticker for BioC2022.

Marcel (@LiNk-NY) do you want to take over that one - or anybody else? Alternatively, I could also give it a try, but maybe it would be good to have a little more diversity (I mean not always the same people designing the stickers)?

Actually, I don't even don't know where it will take place? @lwaldron ?

Based on @GuangchuangYu's script, I created the make_sticker function to make it easier to re-use and adapt. It's rough around the edges but a decent start. Suggestions and patches welcome.

 make_sticker()

library("ggplot2")
p <- ggplot(aes(x = mpg, y = wt), data = mtcars) + geom_point()
x <- make_sticker(p, "Bioconductor", 
                  grob_xmin = 0.5, grob_xmax = 1.5,
                  grob_ymin = .35, grob_ymax = 1.25)

@lpantano, can you please have a look at your DEGreport sticker? Seems that the png is corrupt, or at least it can not be displayed anymore on github.

thanks!

I add some stickers for the cleaver package but I am unsure which one is the best. Any votes?

I tried to use the sticker package but then the "logo" was cut at the margins:

I have absolutely no experience with ggplot2. I would be very happy if someone could help me to fix the code so I can remove my own cleaver_sticker.R and cleaver_sticker2.R and use the sticker correctly: https://github.com/jotsetung/BioC-stickers/blob/master/cleaver/cleaver_sticker3.R

(initially I wanted to draw a cleaver but drawing circles was much easier ...)

Hi @jorainer, I'm working with the BioC team on organizing the BioC2021 conference. Would you be willing to help with the BioC2021 hex stickers? https://bioc2021-draft.netlify.app/ - the tentative idea of how they'll look on the website. @lwaldron

I think it is important to have license for all the stickers. I have added a default CC-BY license in the repo README.md, and would suggest for author to specify their license in their sticker-specific README.md.

I was wondering if we should add also stickers for Bioc events (workshops, conferences), e.g. in a separate folder events.

I've designed one for CSAMA:

or version 2 (darker mountain)

@lgatto @LiNk-NY @mritchie @mtmorgan what you think?

Euro Bioc 2020 will be organised in Padova - if OK for you @drisso I would create one (unless you have somebody else already). Any suggestions or landmark or similar specific for Padova?

Hi @jotsetung - we will need a logo/sticker for the Bioc2019 conference in New York. Given your successful track record of conference and workshop stickers, you might be keen to give this one a go to.

Cc @lwaldron @mtmorgan

The yellow might be still a little too bright - but making it darker makes it too similar to the MSnbase color I feel.

Since registeration for CSAMA 2019 is open now - it's also about time to think about the workshop's sticker. I made two alternative versions:

1. The hiker

2. The postcard (inspired by a postcard from the 50s)

Any preferences, suggestions etc? @mtmorgan @wolfganghuber @lgatto @csoneson @mikelove @grimbough et al.

The last changes to hexSticker (see issue GuangchuangYu/hexSticker#6) break (almost?) all R scripts to create the stickers.

Update the scripts to create the stickers using the new hexSticker package.

To order our stickers via StickerMule I see currently two possibilities:

The centralized market place

To have a dedicated marketplace at StickerMule similar to that what RStudio has (https://www.stickermule.com/user/1070448958/stickers) we would need:

• A person (ideally from Bioconductor) orders all stickers (and each time a new sticker is created/added) at a reasonable count size (e.g. 50 stickers, 100 etc).
• Once the stickers are ordered, this person could add them to his/her marketplace in StickerMule (ideally design the marketplace so that it's looking like an official Bioconductor store - similar to the one RStudio has).
• On each sticker that it is added to the marketplace it is possible to add a profit percentage. Base price will be 2.46 Eur, an 1% profit margin would mean a 2.48 price and 0.02 Eur profit on each ordered sticker.

People that are interested in the stickers can order them and the original user gets credit for each order.

De-centralized market place

Instead of having one market place, each sticker creator orders his/her stickers and puts them on his/her marketplace.
A link to this market place should be placed into the sticker's README.md.

I was wondering if you are all satisfied with the naming of the repository.
BiocStickers would be more appropriate to Bioconductor recommendations. Minor issue but I can change it with enough votes.

PS. Don't forget to update your remote URLs

I personally would like to allow sticker maintainers/developers to be different from package maintainers. If sticker maintainers are different from package maintainer the sticker developer/maintainer should however at least inform the package maintainer and get his/her OK.

The sticker's README should list both, the sticker developer/maintainer and the package maintainer.

@lgatto @sgibb @GuangchuangYu @LiNk-NY what do you think?

I think we should have some general guidelines in addition to the template. The guideline could refer to the template and indicate some basic meta-data need for each sticker, with, at least, a maintainer and a link to the package. A README.md file would be a simple way.

First of all thanks @Robbie90 for uploading the stickers!
I was just wondering, do you think it would be possible to put the sticker for each package into its own folder? We would then have a common sort-of layout and it might be easier for users to find the sticker/package they are looking for.

Hi Johannes @jotsetung,
We love the stickers you've made for Bioconductor packages! It would be great if we can keep the repository under the Bioconductor GitHub account.
As you know, I've spoken to Matthew Ritchie and he is willing to publish the designs he and Roberto Bonelli have been working on for a different set of Bioconductor stickers. It would be great to have a centralized repository for the sticker efforts under the Bioconductor account with appropriate credit (of course).

Looking forward to it!

Best regards,
Marcel

@jorainer - it looks like the latest CSAMA sticker is missing, at least from the main README file.

Up to now we don't have a common vertical alignment of the text. I think it would be nice if the text could be, where possible, somehow aligned to have a more streamlined design. I would however not make this mandatory.

I made a sticker for Bioconductor package reviewers. I'm actually quite happy with it but feedback is welcome (maybe @lshep ?) - if OK I'll add it to the repo. Whether and how it's going to be distributed to the package reviewers is a different topic...

Some of you might have seen the Hexwall back in useR Brisbane 2018 - the wall of stickers, clustered by color, and shaped as Australia (a nice writeup is here: https://www.mitchelloharawild.com/blog/user-2018-feature-wall/)

When I saw Martin’s keynote in Toulouse it was “just stickers” from Bioc, so I thought, let’s do a “BiocHexwall”.

So there I started to work on a repo, namely https://github.com/federicomarini/biochexwall. That is the writeup of code I have till now. The idea is to take the note and fill that with stickers.

I have to admit I am stuck at the point where the image needs to be converted to hex-positions, but maybe it is a fun side-idea to work with - and some other Bioc folks might have a little more talent than my tiny spatial skills.

Following up a conversation with @lgatto , here is the quick description of it 😃

In the end, I almost feel we are two commands away from having a nice note filled with stickers
(gut feeling) - yet, these two commands are missing in my head and in my current solution.

Anyone with some ideas on this who wants to chip in?

I've started playing around with a sticker for this year's CSAMA workshop. The main question now is which background color to use. I have 3 options:

1. light blue
   

2. "sky" blue
   

3. darker blue
   

My favorite is 3), which reflects most the deep blue sky we have up in the mountains but I'm a little afraid it might be a little too dark. Version 1) is the one I like the least.

Happy for any feedback @mtmorgan @wolfganghuber @lgatto @csoneson @mikelove et al.

I thought we could use yellowish-reddish colors for the MS based packages, with lower level packages (mzR) using brighter, higher level packages (e.g. xcms) darker colors. Suggestion: mzR yellow, MSnbase orange, xcms red. @lgatto @sgibb any thoughts?

In addition to the 2 stickers listed here I remember vaguely that there was another one designed by Dan Bunis. If that's true, can you please add that one too @dtm2451

Very first draft of the sticker for the EuroBioc2019 meeting in Brussels:

the idea is to show the atomium and one of the spheres being the Bioconductor note.

Just want to get some initial feedback before I start doing serious stuff. @lgatto , @mtmorgan (who else is on the committee?)

Also, are there any specific colors associated with Brussels I should/could use? @lgatto?

This issue is to collect ideas for the logo/sticker of the TAB. Below is a sketch of what I thought might work for a TAB sticker:

it shows the BioC note as a blueprint - so the TAB is working on the technical aspects and the design of Bioconductor. Open for feedback from the TAB members (@mtmorgan @lgatto @csoneson @mikelove @lwaldron et al)

Any love for a Bioconductor sticker? @LiNk-NY @mtmorgan

We will have a new sticker for CSAMA2018.

I played a little around with adding a highlight to the stickers, somewhat similar to the one in @Robbie90's stickers. Since the sticker itself has a hexagonal shape I thought it might be cool to use the hexbinplot to create the highlight. Result for FamAgg is shown below. Not sure though if it has the desired effect. Eventually check also the AnnotationFilter.

@Robbie90 @mritchie @lgatto @LiNk-NY any feedback highly welcome.

Time to make the BioC2023 logo. The conference information gives some details about the venue. Johannes @jorainer, Marcel @LiNk-NY, would you like to help? Or, anybody else?

Seems the sticker for the BiocAsia2020 is missing. @kozo2 @mritchie can anyone of you maybe add that sticker?

Ideas, comments etc for a BiocSticker for EuroBioc2017 (https://bioconductor.github.io/EuroBioc2017/).

Open for suggestions what to use as logo/sticker for EuroBioC 2021|22 conference which will be held in Heidelberg.

@GuangchuangYu can you please add a README.md to your ggtree and treeio folders?
See MSnbase for a template.

@lgatto , have you considered to use a slightly transparent rectangle behind the text (for better readability)? I did something like that in mzR (transparent color gradient)

@jorainer are you willing to have a go at it?

Hi @jorainer
I'm Kozo Nishida. I will be in charge of organizing BioC Asia 2021.
I would like to ask you to design a BioC Asia 2021 sticker.
I would like you to utilize the BioC 2021 sticker for the BioC Asia 2021 sticker design.
https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocStickers/tree/master/events/Bioc2021
Specifically, I would like ask you to replace Mt. Rainier with Mt. Fuji, a Starbucks mug with a Japanese tea cup, and green plant with Japanese bonsai plant (on the BioC 2021 sticker).

Can I ask you to create BioC Asia 2021 sticker by deriving it from BioC 2021 design?
BioC Asia 2021 will be held after BioC 2021(July?). Therefore, I would appreciate it if you could design the BioC Asia 2021 sticker by July.

Anybody knows why the preview images on the main README are now aligned vertically? Before transferring the repo they were aligned horizontally.

I've checked all google fonts but couldn't find the font used for the official Bioconductor stickers.

The font used for RStudio stickers (https://www.stickermule.com/user/1070448958/stickers) could be/is similar to:

• Roboto Condensed: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Condensed
• Noto sans: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Sans
• Oxygen: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Oxygen
• Hind Gundur: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Hind+Guntur

@Robbie90
We don't usually accept stickers of packages that are not part of Bioconductor..
Please submit the package or remove the sticker until it is an accepted package.
Thanks
