Please note: per july 2017 a new logo design and collateral update is under way


 * stickers to be printed
 * OSGEo Flyer(s) to be printed

Old: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/exhibitionpack/ I suggest both: OSGeo_popup and OSGeo_popup2 Ask printer/see on printer-site, whether the PDF of SVG format is needed. Silk finish or silk matt finish for readability (light glare during exhibitions is high)
 * Banners to be printed locally:

Old: OSGeo_Brochure_2010_PRINT_A4_spread.pdf (this is single A4 back and front) New brochure to be printed locally I suggest minimum paperweight of 100 gram paper, silk or silk matt finished. Ask printer to fold, preferably not do so yourself (bothersome and never a crips bend) Usually I count max 100 brochures per exhibition day on average. Now, 300 will do I expect.
 * Brochure:

Old: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/exhibitionpack/ If printer is able to print on cloth, you could order: OSGeo_tablerunner to be designed Please check with printer if PDF or SVG file format required
 * Table runner

 * CD Live disk/stick (latest version?)
