A newspaper story that I stumbled across recently about Stick Family Stickers caught my attention.
They’re appearing everywhere, Stick Family stickers on Car rear-windows and bumpers, Housewares, including Coffee Mugs, Towels and Sheets, Stamps and Stationery, or Apparel. These are all becoming a great talking point.
Families come in all shapes and sizes, so this is why each set of ‘My Family’ stickers are totally different and consist of a unique combination of stickers to suit the individuals in each family. This fad, which started in the US five years ago, has become a way for families to express themselves in all their variations and interests such as ballerinas, surfboards, bikes or the family pet. The fad has even been suggested as a way for “smug” families to show off. A Sticker Family designer said it was not about being smug, but about family pride.
Sightings have also included stickers of single mums with their children as well as a traditional nuclear family with dad ripped off the window, presumably after a break up. Hmmmmmmm…. Could this now become the best way to advertise your status?
Yours in design,
Angie
