Custom StackMat Design

[Stefan]

One more thing to consider if you care about it: Master Magic. It's 12.6" wide. On a 15.25" x 10.25" mat it looks like this:

It should be big enough to hold a 11x11 and should show waffle's picture.

 

[Stefan]

Another idea: letter size (8½ by 11 inches). Then it's just as wide as the timer and if you carry a folder for paper, you can put it in there. And it could be shipped in standard envelopes. You can easily try this one yourself (just use a sheet of paper), but here are some pictures anyway:

oh yeah, I was wondering was different to your stackmat, I'd prefer if there was a black or white outline of the whole thing please

 

[splinteh]

Mini size please, and make sure they are thick enought/will last a long time and have the words speedcubing along the top.

 

[clarubik]

That looks awesome you should make one that just has a whole bunch of Pokemon on it and a cube in the middle

 

[splinteh]

Hey Stefan, if you don't mind, how did you punch those holes in the mousepad?

Judging by these comments, it's going to be hard to please everyone. My recommendation is to choose one of the middle sizes, and have the design be very generic and universal, with little to no inside jokes.

I have been using this mousepad for about a year now

I called it StackPad.

It shouldn't be to hard to convince people of that. =]

Stackmat size, mousepad size or something else?

Mousepad size is nice because it's easy to take around with you.
I just ordered this:

I'll might get myself a Stackmat size some time, since I lost my mat at Nationals.
The image should cover all of it, though (text in white?).

Woops, I attached the wrong image (the one with my name). Fixed.

I don't have a hole puncher, so I used a sharp knife.

Ah yes, nice one, though I still prefer the cubes on Chris' youtube background, it's artier. Could you make another version where the cubes don't get so small so quickly? I imagine people want to use these on videos and then the smaller cubes might be hard to see. Also, a version with *opaque* cubes+stickers maybe, solid color stickers might look nicer.

wut is with the design?
talk about materials that u will use, machinary, etc
make sure it's not so thick and soft to make your cube not damaged if it hits it
a mousepad is nice, but is truly horrible if it is not soft (this is hard and thin)
i think chris should produce 3 size (A4 size,mini mat size, and full stackmat size)
make it pre-punched with holes

sorry design is a little bit rough

What does this have to do with anything in this thread?

An apple?

Also, Chris said the mat can't be customized to have your name on it unless you want to pay $60 for the fully customized mat.

Adding on to what Whyusosrs said, the main reason that Chris isn't selling fully customized mats is the fact that they'd be too expensive--a bulk order of one design would be not only considerably less to order from the company, but easier to manage, and easier to sell, considering the reasonable price.
That's why Chris opened this thread: as he said in earlier posts, he's making one and ONLY one design (as of yet) which he will mass-produce. Because it's only one design, he's opening up the design discussion to the public.

lets consult da vinci for the design, he's master of the arts

EDIT: Oh, wait a minute. He's DEAD. Hahaha
