Sticker for EuroBioc 2020 about biocstickers HOT 10 CLOSED

First version of the sticker is ready - it's a little darkish, but I felt it makes no sense for Galileo Galilei to look at the stars during the day... Let me know what you think and if you want changes (colors, ...) @drisso et al.

I personally think that even if the conference will be online, there still is a link to Padova given that's where it was supposed to happen. May be that in the future, the link to a physical location/city will become irrelevant.

Hi @jorainer we were just talking about this and yes, please create one! :) Thank you so much!

I'm not sure if you know, but we decided to go virtual... not sure if we want to still feature Padova in the sticker, but if so, a good landmark would be la Specola, the old observatory. The University of Padova is also mostly famous for being where Galileo taught during his most prolific period (not sure if this can give you some inspiration).

If we instead want to embrace the conference being fully online (I'm not sure we mention Padova anywhere in the website anymore), we could perhaps use a "pan-European" theme...

I think the comment that Europe != EU is a problem for the second image. I like maintaining a tie to the 'host' city, even in this virtual age.

@drisso, I've added the sticker to the repo.

Makes sense - but now that you mention Galileo I had an idea:

so basically, Galileo sitting in Padova/Europe and looking at the BioC note with stars (like the conference is going to be "in the air"/online).

A simpler one could be this

the BioC logo merging into the stars from the european flag. Happy for any feedback/preferences from the conference committee (@drisso , @mtmorgan , who else?)

These are great! I like the Galileo one a lot! But also the simpler EU inspired one looks cool.

Tagging the other organizers for feedback @csoneson @lgatto @gbrsales (don't know the handles of the others...)

Agree that these look great! I particularly like the Galileo one :)

It looks great!

I'm closing the issue now. Sticker and other files have been added. Please re-open the issue if needed (e.g. to modify the sticker...)
