Hi Christian,

Yes, I tried it the other way around on the CC Europe sticker - but it
didn't really work out so well. The main problem is the width of
"europe" and the height of the cc-circle. For that to fit in the other
way around we'd need to make them much smaller, and the looks even worse
(and somewhat unnatural). Otherwise we'd have to put the cc-circle in
the bottom and leave "europe" in the middle, but then it reads Compiled
by Europe CC, which I think sounds a little stupid :) Wouldn't you agree?

it's those little things that get you tangled up all the time, tell me about it *sigh*
;-)

Alek, however, suggested moving the stickers to the lower left corner -
and/or consolidate into them into just one sticker. I've tried a
couple of solutions for that:

http://autofunk.dk/cc/mt_final6_grey_web.jpg

"from CC Europe" or "by CC Europe" gives kind of a wrong impression on our role here, so I'd suggest to stick (!) with "compiled by".

Not too sure about the single-sticker version, but the other one works
out rather well?

if you have time (you probably don't) you could try one more thing:

A Sticker in the form of a rounded rectangle reading

compiled by
CC Europe

... with our semi-official logo in the middle. I attach it here in PNG true grey. If you need any other formats, let me know.

Best
John

Hi Christian,

very nice cover that is :) I'd suggest to switch the "CC Europe" and
"compiled by", maybe with the cc circle going in the middle?

Also, we could include the URL
http://europe.creativecommons.__org/Mixtape
<http://europe.creativecommons.org/Mixtape> in there, but maybe
that's too much. You are the music label guru here :)

Best
John

Hi everybody,

Here are a couple of new cover mockups, now with "Europe" added as
suggested earlier in the thread. Apologies for the delay, but it
proved
quite a challenge to fit the new texts onto the cover without it
seeming
rather cluttered. I have therefore opted for a "sticker"-option,
hope
you like it.

Also, some versions (pre-sticker) in various colors:

http://autofunk.dk/cc/mt___final2purple_web.jpg
<http://autofunk.dk/cc/mt_final2purple_web.jpg>

http://autofunk.dk/cc/mt___final2blue_web.jpg
<http://autofunk.dk/cc/mt_final2blue_web.jpg>

If we choose to go with a colored background and add the
stickers (or
just one of them) we should probably match the sticker color(s)
to fit
aesthetically with that background color.

Let me know your thoughts about all of it, so we can get things
wrapped up.

Regards from thickly snow-covered Denmark,

-Christian

+1

but please w/o "... does not sound like it's CC licensed"
b/c it
suggests that all re-usable music is lame, which is not so!
