Welcome to Viber’s Sticky Fingers, a global design initiative giving you the opportunity to create stickers for Viber and get your talent noticed by the world. Viber is challenging creative people to design a mascot for ‘Sticky Fingers’ and see their character made into a Viber sticker. Imagine the whole world sending Good Vibes using your sticker design!
Stickers are used in Viber conversations to express emotion, a reaction or a statement instead of just plain, boring text messages. Viber stickers are often accompanied by a phrase such as ‘Hi, Bye, BRB, etc.’. Words in pictures.
Your Sticky Fingers character needs to have a positive and cool attitude as well as being communicative, expressive and fun. The best way to know if a character can be communicative and emotional is by testing it with 3 basic emotions – happy, sad and in love. You only need to fully render 1 of the 3 emotions. If you wish to submit additional sketches for the other emotions, go ahead but you don’t need to fully render them, a basic sketch is fine. Please submit your design in a JPG/PNG format and include your character’s name along with a brief description about them.
“Filipinos are known for many things – creativity, talent, and wit among them, and that’s why we believe that our artists will be strong contenders in this competition. We are encouraging the country’s creatives to join Sticky Fingers to showcase Pinoy pride and design flair to the entire world,” said Crystal Lee, Viber Country Manager for the Philippines.
