Jon and Sebastien, the first Milkymist One box will have a size of 33 cm x 28.5 cm x 5.5 cm to fit into a Fedex Medium Box.
I made a draft design, see here http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/wolfgang/tmp/box_artwork.pdf It uses Christopher's new logo design and Orbitron font. I am not sure yet whether the resolution of our screenshots is high enough, but I hope for the most part this design will be printable and readable. I don't know yet whether we should include a Twitter URL or reference (twitter.com/milkymistvj) on the box, after reading the Twitter trademark guidelines I wasn't entirely sure whether or how we are allowed to do that. Sebastien has made a nice drawing, and I got very positive feedback to the effect that this drawing gets the point of Milkymist One across quite well, together with the 4 bullet points in his brochure. drawing: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/wolfgang/tmp/ddv.svg bullet points: *) Lightweight *) Very low latency *) No computer needed *) Ready in seconds Brochure: http://www.milkymist.org/leaflets/brochure_v1_100dpi.pdf The box related files are committed at (box_artwork.sla) https://github.com/milkymist/extras-m1/tree/master/cad (it's a bit messy right now, will be cleaned up soon, but you have some raw material there. We use Scribus for the box artwork) So... Feedback very welcome, best would be if someone just took this as a starting point and makes a better box design. We certainly could have something much more fancy, but if nothing better comes along, I'll go with my draft. If I find time and nobody else does it, I may try to make a nice box out of Sebastien's drawing, which definitely has potential for a very nice box, I think. We need to finalize the box design over the next few days to send it off to printing...
