Stickers
In a message posted[1] to both @fedora-art and @fedora-marketing, Máirín Duffy showed the community a demo of a sticker sheet "I've been through a few rounds with the printing company to correct various issues and I just received a digital proof from them that I'm pretty happy with" and asking for feedback "Does this look good? If you see any errors or issues let me know and I'll have them fixed, otherwise I'd like to send to send them myapproval ASAP."

Gerold Kassube asked[2] about the empty stickers "with some I miss the content to fedora and I ask myself: If somebody sees that freedom boble, does he realize that it's fedora or is it only for insider?!" and proposed an alternate slogan "In my head I have a big idea for a sticker which could also be a good marketing which I want to share with you and your outstanding ideas in the past (and I'm also sure in the future). I like the phrase 'Fedora! Leaders not fellows'". In reply, Paul Frields pointed[3] the possibility to combine the stickers "Well, the nice thing about these stickers is they're *extremely* inexpensive. So we can hand out a sheet or two per person, and people can paste *both* a freedom bubble and the logo together!" and stressed the importance of a single, consistent, marketing message "I think it's important for us not to develop too many 'official' slogans, because it dilutes our message. 'What is Fedora? 4 Foundations? IFV? Leaders?'"

Release Banner for the Website
In a last check before the release day, Ricky Zhou from the website team asked[1] about the status of the graphics to be used on the website "Just to make sure everything will be ready for Tuesday, will we have a final version ready for adding to the site by some time on Monday?" and quickly Paolo Leoni replied[2] with an upload of the needed images and a minor modification[3] from Nicu Buculei. Jaroslav Reznik added[4] a KDE specific flavour it it (the banner contains screenshots of the desktop).

The Download Page
In a post[1] to @fedora-art Seth Kenlon expressed his delight with the design od the download page[2] "I don't know who takes care of this stuff, but I was really really impressed with the new/updated download page for fedora 10. The buttons on the right side of the page are brilliant -- "KDE Fans Click Here" and "Need PowerPC? Click here" -- now sure, I'm biased, because those two versions of Fedora happen to be the two that I use :^) but......objectively speaking, that is user friendly and attractive. Great job, who ever did that!" The page was designed, as Ricky Zhou pointed[3] by Máirín Duffy "Not surprisingly, this was the work of Máirín - thanks a lot for making that page beautiful and easy to use!"
