Powered by Arch Linux sticker?

I bought a new laptop this month and ripped off the OEM Win7 on it. I want a "Powered by Arch Linux" sticker on my laptop. I find two sites which is selling Arch sticker.

http://www.zazzle.com/powered_by_arch_l … 5349287279

http://schwag.archlinux.ca/product/laptopsticker/

Which site would have the money dropped into Arch Linux development if I buy on it?

Does the unit on schwag mean "one sticker" or "one piece of stickers"?

From the schwag page:

Welcome to Arch Linux Schwag. If you are interested in purchasing custom Arch Linux apparel, mugs, stickers, shoes, or magnets, please visit the Arch Schwag Shop hosted by Zazzle. A portion of each sale made on zazzle goes to supporting Arch Linux development.

This page was created to fill a void in the Zazzle offerings. We have had several custom Arch Linux novelty items created and are distributing them for your enjoyment. A portion of profits from these sales go towards supporting Arch Linux development.

Please note: Many of these products are created on demand or in short supply and can take a while to ship. Expect delays of two to three weeks before products ship, and an additional one to two weeks for delivery time.

I ordered 5 from the schwag store today. The zazzle one look like a round circle with the logo within, whereas the schwag ones look really professional.

If you check menu here at http://schwag.archlinux.ca/product/laptopsticker/ then you can see Zazzle hyperlink on the top-right corner so I think both are semi-official but the price is different so I am confused.

Zazzle is a commercial store that pays royalties to Arch for every item sold.

Schwag is run by a volunteer, directly for Arch.

I would guess schwag ends up giving a higher % of the money to Arch.

Not sure whether Dusty actually gives anything to Arch, actually. You'd want to check with him for that (probably does, but if it doesn't say so best to ask).

He does and has brought percentages in a few threads here.

Just wanted to add I have just received my case stickers and am very impressed. The quality is indistinguishable from the manufacturers stickers I removed.

Thanks Dusty!

Hi,

Thanks to Aaron approving the usage of Arch Linux logo on a sticker there is now a new place to buy those nifty little Arch Linux stickers; LibreStickers.com.
There are two options to choose from; satin white background and brushed aluminium.
0,10€ per sold sticker will be donated back to the project (online donation page coming in few months)

Cheers
