+1 — I love the idea of a collection and I love the idea of asking designers/the python community from across the globe to add their mark... BUT (speaking as a designer) I would, visually, want to see these things hold together as a set if the PSF is going to put them out.
So, ways you could do that - 1) something like providing a template - maybe include some common design elements/text (with specs on typography) and a common color palate.
2) Make a standard set (I like Steve’s idea), use a single designer for this and make it a tight set BUT also release the template from #1 and ask local groups to add their own spin and encourage the distribution of the local sets far and wide.
The python community has always impressed me with its inclusiveness and eagerness to build bridges across boarders largely as a person to person, grassroots thing - so why make this any different? We could build a norm around exchanging these things at conferences or competing conference against conference to see which one can build the biggest set of unique local ones.
The PSF could even produce an annual collection of stickers/magnets/3D printed tiles and feature a rotation of the local versions as a fundraiser or just a cool giveaway.
I’d even love hex-shaped posit-its that draw from this work - I’d buy PSF post-its in a heartbeat...
Anyway, I’m getting ahead of myself...

Not to poo poo on the snake idea, but it would be cool if there was some element in the background of the stickers that carried from sticker to sticker and made it look like one component.
I had an idea a while back for a snake sticker that would snake around existing hex sticker patterns, forming a border line along a row of existing hex stickers. Still think the idea would be cool, but us having our own hexes is also 👍
