Did you like my I Love Stickers post ?
I was inspired by a 20 year old sticker that I have found when we were moving to our new house. That sticker is ofcourse based on the famous I love NY logo that was designed in 1977 by Milton Glaser .
For my little Silverlight 2.0 project I have used these resources and tools:
The original I Love NY logo
WhatTheFont! to find out the exact font used in the original logo. Great online tool!
American_Typewriter_Bold_BT.ttf
Paint.NET to crop the heart of the logo
The amazing Open Source vector graphics editor Inkscape to trace the heart and save it as XAML(!)
Expression Blend 2
Visual Studio 2008
You can download the source code here: ILoveSticker.zip
And you can view a live example here: I Love Silverlight

Don’t you love this retro sticker design? I have one on my bag and I got it from my mum in the 70′s. And now I have made it in Silverlight 2!
You can personalize the text by clicking on it!
Or you can print a sheet of your own with your own text: I Love My Girlfriend or I Love My Car or I Love My Hobby
You can also put it on your own website and change the initparams:
<object data="data:application/x-silverlight," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="400px" height="400px">
<param name="initparams" value="Name=Stickers,Scale=2" />
<param name="source" value="http://www.johnbruin.net/silverlight/ILoveSticker/ILoveSticker.xap" />
<param name="onerror" value="onSilverlightError" />
<param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="2.0.31005.0" />
<param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />
