What kind of "stickers", for what market?

Fred is one prolific and versatile designer!! Holy smokes!! I had no idea!! Just kiddin'. I haven't been following this contest, but I must say that I like the idea of there being all anonymous entries. It will be fun to see if some of my guesses are on the money. Heck, guessing could...

Scooter: Your vendor's ability to support the product (training, tech support, spare parts inventory, etc, etc) is critical to your success with it. I won't leap to any judgements about this particular company, but I would suggest exercising caution. Otherwise, what you save in terms of...
