On a recent trip to the UK I was pleasantly surprised to see at least 3 different people sporting OSGeo stickers on their laptops. After having a brain freeze, wondering where they got them from, I remember I sent out a few samples I had done up a while back. They weren't even that good, but it was great to see and I believe more people would like to have them for expressing their community interest, or to subversively cover up other logos 
That said, I'd like some ideas or input for slogans for stickers. I see two target groups: 1) OSGeo member "pride" stickers (for expressing that they support OSGeo projects, or use them.. as conversation starters, etc.) and
2) for more direct outreach with a bit more of a message.
Maybe they are both the same, but I was picturing the "Intel Inside" tiny sticker size with only 2 short words, like we see on our PCs, plus a larger one that has a slightly longer message - like fridge magnet size.
I've a list of ideas from our designer, but curious also what you might come up with. Some that I'm leaning toward:
OSGeo Core (short)
OSGeo Power (short)
OSGeo Powered
Built on OSGeo
Grow with OSGeo
OSGeo: Manage Earth
Other comments? I'll have to make a decision soon, so early comments appreciated 
Best wishes,
Tyler
I think that the "Linux Inside" concept doesn't work as well for OSGeo, because OSGeo sits a level above the Operating System, and is not the only thing running on an a computer using OSGeo software.
Thinking about what OSGeo means (to me):
* Community
* Quality
* Open Source
* Standards
* Open Source Geospatial Stack
Focusing on community we can come up with:
* "OSGeo Tribe"
* "OSGeo Clan - Australian tribe"
* "OSGeo Clan - OpenLayers tribe"
