Aye, yellow is always good; potentially these could be printed on yellow stickers? So far I'd been sticking to monochrome, partly to be economical. The box that the warning sign is in would probably look nice yellow.

I believe Robert introduced the idea that the text of the URL should be noticeably different to the style of the rest of the sticker, so that it draws people's attention to it, partly perhaps because people may simply ignore it if they think it's an legitimate notice (assumed to be irrelevant). But if you're correct about it needing to be more covert, we may need to rethink this?

For now I've changed the text to make it less 'scrawly' and more clearer; please let me know if you have any thoughts about this, or any other aspect of it.

The translations I have on this submission were provided to me by native speakers who I happen to work with.

I will be out for the whole of tomorrow, but I can ensure that any changes are made on Saturday, if needed. Also, please let me know what size and format I should provide these to you in if you're happy to us them.

Incidentally; I'm not happy with the layout of the one with several languages, it looks messy to me, I'll have a look at whether I can make it neater on Saturday, also.

Inkscape SVGs also provided; should I be committing these attachments to an revision control system rather than sending them via e-mail?

I am unsure about the handwritten text, i like it design wise, but I
think it makes it clear that the sticker is not official, which may be a
problem as we need it to stay "under the radar"

Love the translatable stuff too - VERY cool!

where are you located btw Chris. Are you in the uk?

Best
