Stickers/New Company

Hello, I am looking at starting up a new company. Obviously this would be a good place to ask a question involving skiing/skiing companies: If I made up some legit stickers (ones that would be quality and "cool") and just gave a lot of em' out for free. Would people spread em around and stick em' on stuff in return?

Gracias mucho.

make it a single color, that way you can do diecut also, do a logo style, and then a banner... the one you already have would be a banner

Alright, here's the sticker that would probably be the die cut one.

I didn't mean to be a dick, sorry, I'm just saying that if someone is designing logos, it should be something that you'd actually want on your product.

and to the guy starting this, what is your product, and do you really want to name it powderfusion? if you're selling to NS, I'd say maybe not. powderfusion sounds like something I would see in Ski magazine, marketed to 55 year old dentists who like to ski on the weekends

thanks for the logo! i like it a lot, however, that's not really something you could do on a die cut.

it looks like a logo you'd use for a publicly traded technology company.


I kinda like the PF one, but in a single color.  But yeah everyone loves free stickers.  I'd even put one on my board.

Ok finally. I look back on the past....not so good logos. I spent all day messing with em' and i finally came up with this one. I hope you guys/galls like it. Again, feedback is greatly appreciated.

its cool, but a random company just to have one? I mean, are you printing any of these yourself? Is the company going to have some quality that will stand out? Its cool that your trying to start something, but if its only for that reason thats pretty weak.

If I were you i'd re-think the name too. It sounds like a street name for crack laced with PCP.
(**Opinion alert**)

Im saying this because I've done that before, if it means nothing to you why spend time and money on it? This is just harsh advice, sorry if its not what you wanted to hear.

PS-make a graphic logo (not a premade text) and get die-cut stickers done.

I completely agree with you if i just wanted to start it for shits and giggles. However, I have contacted places that do die cutting, shits, etc.... Also i will be working with some other artistic people to start making shirts. 95% chance it fails. 5% chance something might come out of it. I'll take the odds.

Alright so here's one more update. I have gotten a lot of feedback and I really appreciate it. Let me know what you think of this logo?

Plus I'll have some shirt designs up sometime soon hopefully.

i'd go for the later designs, on this page, not the red/white gray/blue ones up here in WA.

but first i'd want to know just what PowderFusion is.

sorry to be a downer, but nor super stoked on the design, but if you do send some out ill rep norcal for you. Just personal preference, but try like something that will stand out. Like neon colors and trippy designs.
