Great post. Very informative. Here's my 2 cents.... I like #1, but to create more white space which you want, how about tucking the URL up close under the t and e of flyte. Align it left next to the y and extend it to the right edge of the e. You could drop the www, but I'd be inclined to leave it b/c it makes it instantly recognizable as a URL, esp since .biz isn't as common to see as a .com. Hope that's useful.

Big question: what do you want the sticker to do? Is its purpose to start a conversation? send people to your website? make your logo instantly recognizable among Maine drivers? (If you've shared the stickers' purpose in other tweets or posts, sorry that I missed it.)

That said, I admire the design philosophy of E. Tufte, which includes minimizing the use of non-data ink. So, no unnecessary borders, for example. And these days you can dispense with the "www." in most cases; it doesn't add any meaning.

I, too, love your plane. Including the company name in large letters doesn't particularly help the casual driver find you because of your .biz suffix. They've got to get close enough to see the web address, which will give them the "flyte" too, so no need to duplicate it.

So can you tell? I'm the whole person who favored #5.

Despite the low ratings for 3 and 5, I really like the idea of having a large logo, no company name, and a small URL. If I wasn't aware of flyte, just the logo would make me curious to find out more. I didn't cast a vote initially, but I prefer 5 and 6!
