A small desktop window. An entire school inside it.

The actual blue logo and green lettering establish the identity.

Yeni slogan önerisi / your community’s recollection
C Translate it into a sticker
A compact, recognisable GaziFan conversation window with one strong line. Redraw its frame crisply; keep the old logo’s proportions and a small avatar area. The memory comes from the combination, not a generic login button.

Material & shape
Gloss white vinyl · compact rectangular silhouette · one readable message · approximately 75–90 mm wide
Guardrail
No generic GF badge, no login/logout hero, no smartphone bubbles. Keep the reference in the sticker itself.

A forum signature box visibly overflowing its old boundaries.
Facebook’tan önce biz burada takılıyorduk.
A single chat message; no false “Facebook est. 2006” claim.
DIRECTION 02 / REFERENCE MOODBOARD
Muhabbet burada.
The old logo gets the attention it deserved.
A Our memory
Trace the recognisable letter shapes and spacing before changing anything.

An alternative silhouette to study separately, not blend into the block wordmark.

Borrow a deliberate contour that makes a small object feel designed.
Source ↗C Translate it into a sticker
Make a logo-led die-cut with the actual GaziFan lettering above an enlarged, carefully drawn Muhabbet Burada. Retain the blue/lime tension. Resolve letter joins and the cut contour as one piece of artwork.

Material & shape
Gloss white vinyl · shaped die-cut · blue/lime/grey · 85–100 mm wide hero

Çetin Abi’nin yeri.
The person and place everyone can point to.
A Our memory
Brush lettering as a period clue; the banner does not establish a whole black/gold site theme.
Source ↗KaNTiN & [ ÇeTiN aBi]
The forum names the kantin and Çetin Abi; its description identifies him as “İşletme Sahibi”.

Local reference · see source registerC Translate it into a sticker
A warm, compact kantin sign or oval club patch. Make Çetin Abi the dominant lettering, with GaziFan/Kantin as the context. Letterforms should feel drawn for this name. Any tea/toast illustration is a proposed symbol, not an invented memory.

TRACE STUDY / PRESERVE THE ORIGINAL SIGNATUREC Translate it into a sticker
Reconstruct the original round emblem with accurate letterforms, then test a flat badge and a restrained stitched-edge version. Let the actual school mark carry the emotion. Use the magazine and courtyard photograph for two companion objects.

TÜRKÇE RAP SEVERLER BİRLİĞİ
C Translate it into a sticker
Turn the signature into a compact band-style wordmark, or make a forum-signature strip with its own border and hierarchy. A companion compilation-CD label can reference the documented Toplama Albüm post; any handwritten treatment is new art direction.
#272727#D0A700#E7E7E7#DD6900Exact Ti2000 CSS colours: row background, links, body text and navigation accent. The turquoise below belongs to the recovered metal graphic, not a verified whole-site theme.

CURATOR’S PICK
Start with 01 + 02.
Give 03 + 04 their own voice.
The MSN-era window makes the time recognisable. The original GaziFan lettering makes it yours. Çetin Abi and the school emblem can become carefully drawn companion pieces. Music and the homemade error page add specificity once the core feels right.
These are reference moodboards and composition studies, not approved or print-ready stickers. Modern reference work stays attributed to its makers. Your previous generated sticker drafts are not being used as historical evidence.
