8. CD Stamps & Labels

This was made into a self inking stamp to stamp onto the give away DVDs. We used inkjet DVDs which worked well. Some brands dried quicker than others so YMMV. It was done in Corel Draw but could easily be replicated in Inkscape.

Note the paper size. If you want to print actual size, turn of 'fit to page'. The 'CentOS 5.1' text should be about 4.5cm wide. Once you have the stamp, a new rubber insert can be made when a new version comes out so you don't need a whole new stamp.

is another one which I did for the Chemnitzer Linuxtage. It's a stamp for the i386 Live-CD which we had at Fosdem and will have at other events. It just talks about being CentOS 5, so it's reusable for a longer time.
