Circle Sticker Standard

[DeMarko]

In the same way there are hexagonal and square standards, I feel there should also be a circular standard. It's a pretty common design pattern for illustrations (in the way that hexagons and squares fit logos very well)

Sorry, circles don't allow for the same highly optimized use of space, as there will be extra space between circles.

It was a deliberate design decision of this working group to consider circles a legacy sticker design.

Well have more information on handling legacy sticker designs in a future draft.

I originally closed this request back when the Sticker Standard was supposed to be a joke. Reopening now that I've gotten a few more requests for it.

circle packing though

@jsdnxx It's still a valid complaint, but think it's something worth having a discussion over. As noted in 2014, perhaps we should document non-tessellating "legacy" shapes somewhere.

I'd support this; also an octagonal sticker (some road-signs are octagonal in shape) as its slightly more efficient for packing and produces a pleasing tessellation.

I think a valid use case has been overlooked for circular (or even elliptical) stickers... Filling in an empty space!

The specification would be simple, it should not exceed the existing boundaries of the current spec.

Thoughts?
