[Marketing] Fwd: NexCopy price book

[Caroline Meeks]

Hi,

I'm going to order some more USB sticks.  I want to go with a no cap style.

I am hoping to sell some of these, at least enough to cover my costs.

Does anyone with more sense of design then me (like anyone else in the
universe ;) have any advice on which style and color.

The swing style look sturdy, Is there a way to change the logo so it will
look better on the silver?

Thanks!
Caroline

 We've done grey before and it does look good.  Obviously it wouldn't jump
out as much as something like a white logo...but it doesn't get lost
either.  With swing styles you really get only silver colored arms.  Your
other option is going with a switch style, like Colorado....but then the
printing is on the bottom.  Or maybe the Sarasota style because the switch
is on the side.

Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,

What do you think will look good? I do liek the swing style, but I'm not
sure the Labs part of the logo will show up well. Maybe I should go back and
see if I can get colors that will work better on Grey?

Sean, what do you think?
