Tydle Magazine - Stickers in the works.

So we just filled out an order for 2000 stickers in two different graphic styles. The first takes from the old surf culture stickers and the second also has a retro vibe. So how much are we going to charge for these stickers? Absolutely nothing. They are going to be available at all Tydlemag.com sponsored events and we will send you them anywhere in the world as long as you pay the postage. More details including a sticker placement contest, and some other good stuff when we get our hands on these stickers.

both will be 3.5 inch circles, black and white. No other colors are available because what can we say we are not working with the hugest of budgets here at Tydle.
