Where can I get "Use viridis" Stickers ?

bussonniermatthias · January 14, 2016, 5:43pm

Hello matplotlib devel,

First thanks for all the work on Matplotlib 1.5, and future 2.0 this is (and will be) awesome releases.

As all of you are (hopefully) aware, the various colormaps that have been designed and
shipped in matplotlib 1.5 are awesome, and are now available for many languages and
graphical frameworks.

Unfortunately, it is still common to come across both numerical and printed versions of posters
in labs and at conferences that uses our dear hated jet colormap.

I wonder if it would be possible to design/acquire a number of ?use viridis? and ?jet kills? stickers,
that I could stick here and there for inapropriate use of rainbow-like colormaps, as well as on my laptop.

Please find attached an idea of what it could look like (though I?m not good at design)
I would be happy to get the same for Inferno, magma & plasma of course,
and I think that a distribution of these stickers at the same time as Matplotlib 2.0
would be a nice communication stunt.

Thanks,

···

I like the "use viridis" slogan better than jet kills, because the first
points to the solution, and the second just tells me there's a problem.

Very cool idea. I'd have to see where our "sticker budget" sits for the
year, but I know a lot of people would be very excited to have something
like this.

Definitively, more on a T-shirt I guess.

Maybe there is there a way to go directly through some cross project funds at NumFocus level ?

Forgot to reply-all:

Maybe a bit too ..."subtle"

Also, following Nathaniel Smith suggestion, I registered `useviridis.org`
and `jetkills.org`. I'd be happy to make the DNS point to a custom page
that point to the merits of viridis / the drawback of Jet.
I would be also happy to hand over the control of the domain(s) if asked.

Also regarding "sticker budget", does it make sens /is it legally ok for
numfocus to set up a cafepress account that sells these stickers ?
