I have just gotten the news that I've got another live show to play on May 19th.
If things go well, instead of borrowing the guitar player's Korg Triton (as I had to
do for the last show), I will be playing my new Linux laptop.
I want to plant a huge Tux sticker right in the center of the laptop cover. It's a
barebones so it has no markings of its own; I get to put on my own. I've seen a logo
of Tux wearing headphones too, which I'd like to find.
Where might I purchase stickers of this type, suitable for laptop application? I want to
stand up and be proud, and "represent", as the young folks say these days.

Don't know where you might buy them, but you could certainly print your
own if you have a color printer or can get access to one.

Hi,
as I am one of the 'young folks' (more or less) I will give some comments...

Congrats to both of these facts.

While I think that Tux is cute and nice (I do have one on my keyring, a
Tux-base-cap and a Tux-tie) I don't think people will recognize its picture
especially if he is wearing a headphone.
We are talking about a stage here? Where flashing colored lights allow only
short views of the gear?
I would go for one of the single-color logos of
http://www.linuxaudio.org/logo,
http://lad.linuxaudio.org/logo/reloaded/index.html (its single-color-version
is at http://www.arnoldarts.de/lad_reloaded-one_color.svg) or the old one at
http://www.arnoldarts.de/lad-logo-plain-sw.svg
I am thinking (and planning) to spray paint the new single-color lad-logo on
my gear in the near future.
Another factor is coolness: Do you want everybody to recognize you as a nerd
just by seeing your linux-Tux (with some bad retouched headphone) or do you
want to undergo the nerdness-radar by using a cool, nice and more abstract
logo? I think (and hope) that in the later case more people will ask about
the meaning of that logo instead of just some freaks going to talk to you
about the latest tricks in their favorite window-manager (which they don't
really need because the manage just a bunch of xterms)...
Where might I purchase stickers of this type, suitable
for laptop
application? I want to stand up and be proud, and "represent", as the young
folks say these days.
Create a simple mask of the logo of your choice (I would go for the penguin of
linuxaudio in your case) and spray-paint it in white on your gear...
Have fun,
Arnold

Instead of spray paint you may also have luck with a permanent marker

Just about every manufacturer on a stage puts its name in large
letters. Korg, Roland, Yamaha, Nord, etc... Although 'Linux'
is not a musical instrument/software manufacturer, why not neverthless
simply put its name in large, perhaps somewhat stylized/coloured,
letters ? Or somewhat smaller letters offset from a top corner of the
laptop's cover ?

I found a packet of stickers with a penguin on it and stuck that on....
But I guess an actual Tux would be better

If you put "Linux" on there in big letters,
you also need the /small
print/ : "Linux is a Registered Trademark of Linus Torvalds."
anyway it should be "gnu/Linux" - and you might get away with it..
Yeah, if not, Linus will get mad. You've read about the scorn of SCO
and the revenge of the RIAA, now it'll be the madness of Linus coming
down on performers that do not print the fine print. He will deposess
these criminals of every bit of money they have and will sue them into
eternity, and their descendants. Beware of Linus !

this is an awesome idea
but tux is a horrible logo
also even the linux name is sort of contrary to the philosophy of open
source if you think about it. Why identify with one ego in a project
based on community?
get some letter stickers and just do "O S S" or "OPEN /n SOURCE"

Congratulations on your gig and good luck using your laptop as a
sound module. That's something I still aspire to, but at the
moment my PCR-30 is still sitting there gathering dust. (Got
some of the sliders mapped with Timidity but never with
any "analog" synth program...)
Don't listen to the naysayers.... your idea of using Tux is a
great one. It may not be the best logo for an operating system,
but after 11 years of use it's the only logo anyone who doesn't
use Linux recognizes. I have a couple different T-shirts with
Tux variations on them, one of which doesn't even say "Linux" on
it, and every once in a while someone will come up to me and
go, "So is that Linux thing any good?"
Given the history of the Linux audio logo, on the other hand, I'd
be willing to bet that in 3 or 4 years there have been at least
a couple more redesigns and it'll still be familiar only to
people already using Linux audio.
Unfortunately, the only "Tux wearing headphones" logo I've ever
seen was pretty small, like 120x160 or something. I think it
was a "DJ Tux" thing, not a "Tux as musician" thing.
Googling "DJ Tux" just comes up with a bunch of logos based on
the Crystal version of Tux, though, which isn't as recognizable.
You might want to just go for the straight-up Tux logo if you
want something that looks decent, especially if you're going to
try to stencil it onto your laptop.

Where might I purchase stickers of this type, suitable

I was going to the printing servive here in Strasbourg and produced
Stickers o 25x25mm with Lense-Effect on cards of 4x6 pieces.
The cost went around 0.80 Euro per sticker by a production of 100
cards of each 12 stickers... (The biggest part was the mastering)
Same for the "Debian inside" an,d "Tux Thinkpad".
Also I was thinkig to produce the "LAD" sticker too.
Currenly I have all sold and can not start a new production because
lake of money... I have no reserve of 1000 Euro or more but I was
planing to start a new production this year if my bank play with...
