My Colorado Stores are located in shopping malls up and down the Front Range, and they help spur sales and highlight the Colorado brand with gear like these custom shaped Yeti Colorado State Flag stickers.
Gift and memorabilia shops are in most airports and tourist attractions, and if you have a fun shape and can incorporate some design element that customers will want to take with them, a custom sticker is a great, low cost souvenir that packs easily. State Flags are easy design choices because both residents of the state and travelers will want to represent their state pride.
With stickers, people can put them anywhere, from car bumpers to notebooks.
Designing a State Flag Custom Sticker
Colorado designers and artists are fortunate because they have an iconic state flag made up of very basic, yet powerful, design elements: four colors and two shapes. (Not all states are so lucky, Colorado is #6 in this list.) There's the yellow sun and the red C--both basically circles--and the two blue and the white rectangular bars that run across the middle serving as a the grounding element for the whole flag. This design came to be in 1911, and it took it's current form in 1964 when the inside curve of the C and sun element were made as large as the white stripe.
By adding the Yeti shape, this design helps provide a slightly left-of-center take on a basic flag. It's immediately a Colorado feel, since the mountains of Colorado are known for interesting stories of all kinds through history. Being able to capture that spirit in a sticker is a rarity, and My Colorado Stores can provide a sense of whimsy at the point of purchase, or add in a different take for their customers. They are part of a larger retail set of Gift, Novelty, and Souvenir Shops, which are establishments that do business gifts and novelty merchandise, souvenirs, greeting cards, holiday decorations, and miscellaneous small art goods. It's an industry that features nearly 23,000 stores with combined annual revenue of about $19 billion, according to Dun & Bradstreet. For proprietors of these stores, inventory is always in flux and needs to stay current with the times. Colorado's Flag is a great use of branding, and a sticker is a timeless way to share a story.
