Call for feedback: Opera promo materials for download and printing

Friday, December 15, 2006 1:43:08 AM

,

As many of you know, Opera currently makes various web banners available for download so people can post them on their own websites. Recently, there has been a lot of interest in printed material. See, for example, the spirited demand for Opera stickers here and here, and interest in the new poster contest here.

At Opera, we try our best to send our users stickers, shirts, pens, pins, and the like, but it's not easy because our users come from all over the world. Long ago, we made some of our promo material available online for Opera fans to print out. If there is sufficient interest, we'd like to do it again.

My question to all of you is this:

What type of downloadable and printable material are you interested in? Please give any and all feedback regarding the form of the materials and its content (i.e. do you want printable flyers, in color or black and white, or something smaller like stickers, and what do you want these things to say?). Of course, we have some ideas of our own, but we want to give you a chance to tell us specifically what you would be excited to print out and share.

-A 3x5(ish) 'O' sticker for my automobile.

-a small Opera Mini sticker for my mobile. I'm not an expert on stickers, but preferably something really *thin* what's that called? A decal?

-I want a t-shirt I can wear to the bar with some play on words having to do with "starting a tab" with a picture of the Opera address bar with the "New Tab" button there smile Something simple like "I'd like to start a tab."

-Advertise the phishing filter with a decal with a picture of a couple credit cards hanging from fishing line with a "Gone phishing" theme to it.. something like "Worried about the catch of the day? Opera 9.10- with phishing filter"
