We are in the process of labeling books that have won awards such as the Putlitzer, National Book Award, etc. and are trying to find an eye-catching sticker for the spines. We have checked most of the trade catalogs such as Brodart, Highsmith, Library Store, Gaylord, etc. and have only found boring colorless stickers. We would like something colorful that indicates a prize-winner. Anyone have anything you use and if so, where did you get it? Or did you make one and if so, could I get a copy via email attachment?

Thanks in advance!

I've not made stickers noting prizewinners, but stickers for various
purposes are not difficult to create. I have done several using MS
Publisher and make each about the size of a purchased spine sticker. By
creating a whole sheet of these and printing them on a sheet of labels
they can be exactly what you need them to be.

I use Avery label 8255 which is a whole sheet and cut them to the size I
need them. They work quite well and the colors turn out quite nicely.
