Jonathan made me volunteer to print 2x 10K stickers for FOSDEM. I'd print:
* 3cm square, standard KDE logo: the top-left one from 
https://www.kde.org/stuff/clipart.php
* 2.1 x 6.8 cm KDE Neon

The price would, for the 20K stickers, come to under Euro 250 including tax 
(~70 and ~170).

So these would just be as give-away, dirt-cheap.

I would suggest that on top, Scott, you pick a design or two or three or more 
that would make nice, fancy stickers we an print at stickermule or 
UnixStickers and we use to give away for a donation-of-choice or a euro/dollar 
or so. Could just be a selection of our amazing konqi mascottes, they are 
popular and very nice looking.

Thoughts?
