Dear all,
as we discussed in our last conference call, we’d like to continue with the idea of stickers for seed packages. Since putting stickers on seed packages that will be sold would be quite tricky, an idea was to distribute them at seed swaps in Feb/March 2024 so that people can use them on their own seed packages. But we could contact breeders in autumn 2023 and ask them if they would include info about the “sticker campaign” in their catalogues, etc. or possibly distribute the stickers in other ways.
For doing so we wanted to start with designing the sticker. See attached some first drafts.
One possibility could be to use the pictures of different patent cases and have a few variations of the stickers (pictures 1-13). Might be attractive for seed swappers. But it may be less well recognisable if we have more variations.
The round version doesn’t work that well with a longer text, f.e. the German text I chose (pictures 11-13).
We could do as well a square version (pictures 14-19).
If the stickers are quite small, a text only sticker (pictures 23-24) might be easier to read, but a pretty sticker might be used more.
This is just a first draft. We might think about another slogan and the infos we want to include (QR, written link to homepage, NPOS-Logo,…).
Another idea that came to my mind was that we might produce the whole seed package if it is for seed swaps. It could leave room to describe the seeds and then have our campaign logo. If it is something that can be used, it might get more distribution. But I guess that would be more expensive.
Let me know if you have any ideas – and/or we can talk about it at the next conference call.
Best,
Johanna
