we are happy about this great article on the laughing squid.
tabtags are a creative series of removable and reusable glowing stickers, made by a skilled group of Vienna, Austria-based designers, that use the illuminated apple logo on a macbook lid as a light source. tabtags was funded through kickstarter, thanks to all of their generous backers. the collection of stickers are available to purchase online from the tabtag website.
we are very happy that the next web team introduced us to their audience in this great article.
there are plenty of macbook decals out there – etsy and ebay are full of them – but few of them take advantage of the light behind the apple logo. That’s where tabtag comes in.
the sticker company, which began as a kickstarter campaign, and has just resurfaced after appearing on product hunt. it makes glowing stickers that use the logo as a light source.
after experiencing a very intense and successful spring, our team was looking forward to a somewhat more relaxed summer. many businesses experience a calmer summer, many choose this time to take a holiday, lean back and recharge their batteries. we had plans to do a few tweaks on our website and publish a few new designs. however the quiet period did not last very long, in mid-july we got hunted on producthunt and found ourselves on a different planet. one of their hunters published tabtag in their tech-section and the audience up-voted and commented. this prompted a huge level of public engagement for tabtag, and we enjoyed answering questions and receiving a lot of great feedback.
on one particular day more people visited tabtag.com than in 90 days before, orders and inquiries spiraled and we had to do a few night shifts in order to respond emails and fulfil orders. being published on producthunt led to a chain reaction of blogs and online magazines featuring tabtag. we are very happy and grateful for the immense support we received.
we want to give back some love, so we created a special edition of producthunt tabtags, which will be given away to 10 people who comment this blog post. all winners will be notified via comment below and then can provide their shipping information via our contact form. best of luck!!!

this week a few lucky people were given a great opportunity to hear the famous austrian designer stefan sagmeister speak about beauty at angewandte innovation lab. sagmeister told attendees that beautiful things work better and have a more positive effect on our wellbeing. he demonstrated this theory using a number of examples from new york, where he has been living for more than 25 years. a twitter mood-board demonstrated that our environment has a strong influence on us. it was clear to see that the mood of new yorkers was worse near the rather ugly penn station, while people often felt much better around the much more beautiful grand central station. creating a beautiful piece of art under a bridge in dumbo brookly converted this rather unattractive, smelly and dirty place into a tourist attraction and a popular backdrop for freshly married couples. the recently redesigned high-line became such a beautiful and harmonic place, with not one single crime having been reported from there. like happiness, beauty is a very broad concept, nevertheless stefan added a number of surprising and mind-blowing viewpoints.
thank you stefan for this great talk and for having a tabtag glowing on your macbook!!!
almost a decade ago, young austrian stefan obermaier stepped into the arena of international club electronica as a producer and dj. since then his music is delighting renown night clubs with ecstasy and great vibes. his remarkable solo releases made him renown on an international level. stefan asked us to create custom tabtags with his minimal and cool logo and we all are very happy with the outcome. thank you stefan!
a dear supporter of tabtag re-tweeted this photo by reuters showing president obama holding a speech. his macbook is decorated with an official sticker. while we feel a bit sad, that this sticker unfortunately isn't a tabtag, we can clearly see a need for one here. imagine how cool this sticker would look, if the eagle in it's center was glowing!
