We have discovered that college students may know what they want, but do not necessarily have access to a high-quality school logo to create college-themed laptop skins, car decals and room décor.

To help you out, we have compiled a short tutorial on where you can access a logo for your school (or university) and how you can get that image into the sticviews designer to create your own custom skins and decals. First try checking your school’s website to see if high-resolution logos are available.

(Disclaimer: This tutorial involves using school logos which are subject to copyright protection. Please check with your booster club or school officials to ensure that you have permission to use your school’s logo. Always respect all copyright laws, and be aware that by uploading images to sticviews, you are verifying that you have permission to use any images that are subject to copyright laws.)

Part I: Getting Started

To get started, visit Chris Creamer’s sportslogos.net website. Here you will find various logos for all types of professional sports teams, but our focus today is on the College and NCAA logos.

1)      Click on the NCAA logo on the homepage or on  the ‘College’ link under the ‘Sports Logos’ heading in the left-side menu.

2)      Schools are divided up alphabetically into categories, so click on the letter range that includes the first letter of your school name (Ex: Florida State students click on ‘NCAA Division I (D-H)’)

3)      Now you will see a page filled with school logos, in alphabetical order by school name.
Browse through to find your school and click on the logo image.

4)      You are now taken to that school’s page with various past and present logos.
Click on the logo that you desire to use for your skin or decal (Although several schools have older logos available, newer logos seem to have higher resolution for better print results in most cases).

5)      Now you should be viewing a larger version of the logo image, but notice how you cannot just right-click and select ‘Save Image as’ in your browser.
To get around this dilemma, you will have to use one of two methods (assuming your are running Windows), both of which are described below.

Part II: Saving the Logo

Method 1: Using the Windows Snipping Tool (Windows Vista, Windows 7)

If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, you have access to a neat tool called the Snipping tool. You can access this program through the start menu or quick launch bar in Vista, or directly on your Start bar in Windows 7 (Look for the icon below).

This tool enables you to quickly take a screenshot of a portion of your screen, to be saved as an image on your PC.

1)      Make sure your web browser (with the logo open) is visible and run the Snippin g tool.
Your entire screen should fade out and you will see a box appear in the upper-right corner of your screen (your arrow mouse cursor will also turn into a cross-hair cursor).

2)      Position your cursor at the top-left corner of the logo, click and hold down the left button, and drag the cursor down to the bottom-right corner of the logo. Now let go of the left mouse button (this may take more than one try to make sure you capture the entire logo).

3)      Your selection (the logo) will now open in a new window. Click ‘File > Save As…’ (or the purple floppy disk icon) to save the logo image somewhere on your PC. Be sure the save as a .JPG file or .GIF file, as these are the only file types allowed for upload on sticviews.

4)      You are now ready to move on to Part III: Uploading to Sticviews

Method 2: Using the ‘Print Screen’ keyboard button

Although the Windows Snipping tool is the simplest way to save a logo image from sportslogos.net, the ‘Print Screen’ button on your keyboard (sometimes PrtScn) will work as well, with a few extra steps. This key is usually right next to the Scroll Lock button, on the top right half of your keyboard.

1)      Make sure your browser window (with the logo) is visible and click the Print Screen button on your keyboard.

2)      Open any image editor of your choice (Paint,Photoshop, etc.) and press CTRL + V to paste the image (or right-click and select ‘Paste’). You will notice that not only is the logo there, but also everything that was displayed on your screen.

3)      Crop the image down to just the logo (process varies depending on image editor used).

4)      Save the image somewhere on your PC (Be sure the save as a .JPG file or .GIF file, as these are the only file types allowed for upload on sticviews), and move on to Part III: Uploading to Sticviews

Part III: Uploading to Sticviews

Once you have the logo saved on your PC, the rest of the process is fairly straightforward to upload onto sticviews.

1)      Go to the sticviews image upload page (http://app.sticviews.com/startuploadimage.aspx)

2)      Click ‘Choose File’ and find the logo image that you just saved on your computer. Click ‘Open’ to load the image.

3)      Agree to the conditions by checking the box, and click ‘Upload’.
Once the image details and screen shot appear, click ‘Continue’.

4)      You will now be taken into the Sticviews designer with your image. Here, you can add any text you desire (or add other images), finalize your design, and complete the checkout process.

Congratulations! You have now created your very own custom College skin or decal. Be creative and design one for anything!

Tile stickers and decals are a stylistic and impressive way to showcase you or your kid’s artwork, favorite photographs, your college emblem, your favorite sports team, and the list goes on and on!

Tile decals and stickers gives me a way to put my artwork on display for my personal enjoyment and for the enjoyment (hopefully!) of my friends and family.  Sticviews.com makes tile art possible for me through their website.  It is so simple!  I just took photographs of my favorite acrylic paintings that I hand painted, downloaded my photographs to my computer, went to sticviews.com, and then followed the easy step by step instructions to order my own custom tile art that was delivered to my house in no time at all.

Is it easy to apply a tile sticker or tile decal once it arrives, you may be asking yourself.  Once my tile stickers arrived from sticviews.com, I just peeled each sticviews.com tile art sticker from its backing and placed MY artwork on the tiles of my choice in my kitchen.  Tile decals from sticviews are of such high quality, when I changed my mind about which tiles I wanted them on, it was a piece of cake to peel my tile art off and then simply re-stick, without the corners looking peeled up or anything!  Tile sticker art does not fade either, if that’s a question or concern for you.  For example, I placed my tile decal on a couple of tiles above my stovetop, have cooked many dinners since, and still even after all the steam, boiling, and heat, my tile art looks amazing!  So how can tile decal art stand up to even the harshest of elements?  Well the pigments of color in a sticviews.com sticker are placed in the open porous surface of the material, which then are enclosed inside the sticker once the pores are closed, which is what makes the tile decal art less prone to fading.

I use sticviews.com tile art as a way to display my artwork in my home, but you can put anything that your heart desires on your tile stickers!  Do you want to make a present for a friend?  Try ordering 5 tile art stickers of their favorite sports team from sticviews.com, putting the tile art stickers on loose tiles that you can purchase at a hardware store, wrapping them up with nice ribbon, and then giving the tiles with tile art on them as a gift set of coasters.  Do you want to congratulate someone dear to you for graduating college?!  Order a larger tile sticker of the mascot or school name of their alma mater, and place it on one of the larger floor tiles that home-improvement stores carry, lean it on a large sturdy plate display stand, and voila-a usually expensive gift made attainable on a budget by sticviews.com’s tile stickers and tile decals!  Order your custom tile sticker and decal art today and showcase your artistic side.  Tile stickers and tile decals, by sticviews.com.

Let’s face it… Everyone could use some extra money. Whether you own a business that is seeking a new revenue stream or you’re a freelancer working at home looking for a little residual income, earning more money is always a welcome idea.

If you have previously tried to sell art online without success, then you are now in luck because sticviews has recently announced a new way for any business, creative professional, or freelancer to provide digital content on customized products to sell from an existing website.

While traditional wall art may not be flying off the shelves, the personalization market is experiencing immense growth. Just look at the success of Zazzle and SkinIt for proof. Many people do not just want to buy a standard case for their cell phone, but rather a custom skin with their own words and photos. Everyone wants something unique, and sticviews products offer just that. Now, you can make more money online, providing popular custom products to your customers or clients, as well.

Perfect for those with a busy lifestyle and little extra time, sticviews takes care of all aspects of producing and shipping product orders that come in from our partner companies. Once your website is set up to take orders and communicate with our printing platform API (or Application Programming Interface), the process requires no constant monitoring or further action on your end. This truly is a turn-key solution where sticviews takes care of all aspects of the production process.

For instance, let’s say a photographer decides to utilize the sticviews platform to offer her customers a way to order photos (from their recent photo shoot) on custom skins and decals. After integrating her website with our API, customer orders start rolling in. The customer chooses their desired product (possibly a laptop skin or wall decal), desired image, and desired size. The order is then sent straight to sticviews (through the API), where it will be printed, packaged, and shipped to the customer under the photographer’s brand. The photographer never has to perform any additional work, and the customer never has to know that sticviews was involved.

Talk about a simple way to sell art online.

Even better, our platform is not just beneficial to photographers, but to nearly any type of business that may have digital content. Other ideal business uses include (but are not limited to):

·         t-shirt companies to sell decals and skins and stickers

·         décor companies to make custom furniture skins

·         video game developers to sell in-game snap shots as products

·         high volume printers that want to offer personalized skins to their customers

Could you benefit from such a simple printing platform? If so, signing up is as simple as requesting more information.
