Your opinions for stickers, please

I’ve been lurking here for a while, waiting for the right moment to jump in. Here it is. I’m making a series of splitboards for my Master’s program in Industrial Design. Your opinions are important to me in designing great boards because you are the experts.

In exchange for answering my questions on the subject, I’ll send 2 splitboard.com vinyl stickers, hot off the press, to the first 100 people to respond!

Thanks in advance. I really appreciate your time and thoughts. Please include the question number with each answer. Remember to email me at melody@rangeoflight.org with your mailing address and your splitboard.com username so I can see your results and mail you your stickers.
