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:

1. The original I Love NY logo
2. WhatTheFont! to find out the exact font used in the original logo. Great online tool!
3. American_Typewriter_Bold_BT.ttf
4. Paint.NET to crop the heart of the logo
5. The amazing Open Source vector graphics editor Inkscape to trace the heart and save it as XAML(!)
6. Expression Blend 2
7. 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" />
   <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=124807" style="text-decoration: none;"><img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=108181" alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight" style="border-style: none" /></a>
</object>

Have fun!
