Hey guys,

Yeah, I agree with Frank that 5x7 would be too small and also more important to make the Bicycle Friendly Business bigger than the year text. For some reason I can't view the actual image. All I see is many rows of text that were truncated by Google. I'm excited to see the images, so Chip please send to me again.

For the years could we just do a run of 2014- and then just make some 2015-, 2016-, 2017-, 2018-, etc and then we can just cut off the dash and place that year on the right of the starting year if the business discontinues their bike friendliness? If we were careful in our design, we could make it so the combination of beginning year and ending year would be the same width as the Bicycle Friendly Business section.

Thanks,

~Derek

Just my personal reaction:

5 x 7 seems too small to me. Would it be legible from the parking lot in front of the business? At least 7 x 9 seems better to me but I don't know the constraints. What are the dimensions of your LAB BFB sticker, Chip? (I can't remember seeing it.)

The font for 2013-2015 seems too large. The thinner letters and different color are good but I would suggest using hieght no larger than the height used for BICYCLE FRIENDLY BUSINESS. Even smaller would be OK. The words convey more important information than the numbers but we want the numbers to be big enough that the business owner and their customers will be reminded that they will need to renew.

How will we update the sticker in future years? Adding years to the bottom of the sticker, rather than pasting over the existing years can show how many years the business has been designated bicycle friendly.

For new BFBs, we should plan a run of stickers each year, e.g. for next year, a sticker similar to the one you attached except 2014-2016 at the bottom, etc..

But, I defer to the BFB team to make the final decisions.

Here is the new proof of the bicycle friendly business sticker we chose with the addition of the bicycle board web url, superimposed on the right side of the M. The stickers will be roughly 5x7". Any comments?
