I need your brilliant input…
Stamp your footprint. Help me build the next SuperStamps (Snagit Stamps add-on)!
I’m creating a new SuperStamps Snagit Stamps add-on package. It will include as many professional graphics as the original SuperStamps (197 high grade vector png files). The contents is focused on being suitable for blogs/websites and it will appropriately be named SuperStamps Blogs 😉
So I am calling all bloggers and website masters out there for help building this graphics pack. You will be the co-creator so to speak 🙂
I need your help with suggestions of what graphic icons should be included. What graphics do you need for your blog?
We will give out a free copy of SuperStamps Blogs for every suggestion that’s included in SuperStamps Blogs.
To the left you can see some examples of what’s included in the original SuperStamps Pack. You can also download 20 free SuperStamps here.
Please post your suggestions Graphic Icon suggestion in the comment area on this blog (below). And include:
1) What Text or Icon would you like
2) What color
3) What shape should the graphic/icon have
4) Anything else that may clarify your idea
It should be stamps that is useful for everyone. I can’t include personal stamps for example with names and so on, unless your name is Blog 😉 Of course you don’t need to have a blog or website to suggest cool stamps.
I really love to hear your suggestions so please post it below now and if I include it you will get a free copy of SuperStamps Blogs value $20.00!
Hey! This is exciting.. I definitely would like a stamp for my blogs.. got many ideas but for a start would like the following –
1) What Text or Icon would you like – icon reading Step 1 at the top and beneath it an arrow pointing down
2) What color – grey background and white text plus arrow or black background and white text and arrow.
3) What shape should the graphic/icon have – round or surprise me!
4) Anything else that may clarify your idea – basically icons that I can use when am describing steps to perform an action.
Looking forward to my free copy !
Hi Malcolm,
The stamps that I use a lot are the existing set of numbers. The red circular ones. It would be great if there was a set that looked as nice as the other stamps you have.
Putting the numbers inside the background the same as the paperclip you have now would make those numbers really nice. That’s 0 – 100.
I’d like to see stamps of major SM tools (twitter, facebook, etc)
I’d like to see a series of rating stamps.
It sucks a straw??
It rocks guitar?
It’s great thumb up?
A set of road signs would be good like stop, go, caution, yield, road work, u-turn, detour, scenic view, picnic area, toll booth are all great for the training industry and eLearning.
World icon images would be nice like, the Eifel Tower, Golden Gate Bridge, Stature of Liberty, Tajmahal, Big Ben, etc.
Character faces would be fun…try 😉 😉 ;-P etc…in a circle stamp.
Musical Notes, Holiday Themes,I hear the 60’s are coming back maybe peace signs, butterflys, lava lamps and daisys?
School and business icons are always useful as well as numbers and letters in different fonts and background colors.
Okay, enough is enough…have fun!
button shapes
signs like stop, go, wait.
approval signs, hands, logos
looking forward to the updates.
dog foot prints
Hey, I love Snagit and the stamps are the icing on the cake… what I would love to see is Country flags, I often capture info from the web related to different countries and it would be great to stamp the country flag on top… I also agree with approved / authorised / sanctioned etc.. that’s my 2 cents or penny’s worth.
Disclaimer: I’m not a subscriber (yet!) to this service so if you already have these buttons available, please discard. 🙂
1) “Register” “Sign up” “Submit”
2) Any color! A basic black/grey would work on most of my sites, but other colors are welcome!
3) When I think of a “register” button, I look for a long, narrow, horizontal square icon. Maybe rounded corners? There’s really no right way to make one.
4) I route people to other event registration sites and it’d be great to use a fancy stamp to do it!
I am a Realtor so I would like icons refective of real estate terms, For Sale, Sold, For Rent, Open House, Waterfront, Condo, Townhome, Land, etc.
Wow! Really cool! My mind is now crowded with images. People like looking at images instead of text so I think it would be nice to have an eye-catching icon on some parts of the text to get them read. It would be a colorful icon showing a group of tiny people standing with tiny callouts in different shapes and colors.Their faces should show emotions like ‘sad’ and ‘happy’. It should be in shiny and bright colors. I thought this icon is just perfect for the ‘discussion’ section of a blog
What a great idea.
I volunteer at a camera club with a website, blogs, email, list-serve, etc. How about a set of objects dealing with cameras and video? They’d be great for our How-to docs.
cameras, lenses, tripods, flashes, film, something to represent a still image, multiple still images, small, medium, and large images, video, etc.?
Colors? Basic black on white comes to mind but blues, reds, and greens would work for emphasis too.
I work in the safety industry, so images depicting safety signs would be great. “Danger”, “Notice”, Do Not Enter”, “Radioactive”, direction signs, etc. That would be excellent for training.
Signs of an indusrial theme would be good. An oil derrick, offshore platform, factory etc.
Also, the road signs are a good idea.
Wow, how many excellent suggestions. I see I have my work cut out for me 🙂
Please keep em coming!
One more… I snag a lot of maps. It’d be great to use the standard google map icons for pointing out specific locations. I.e. Pin shaped icons or downward arrows. Label them “A” and “B” to show starting points and ending points.
I think the “lightbulb for an idea” or “question mark” would be good stamps if you don’t already have it and I agree with one above with the numbers circled in red.
I would like the following stamps.
– an acupunctureneedle
– yin/yang sign
congratulations with your idea.
Suggestions are few. These are not things I will be using,, I think. But.. Animal trax, especially cat and dog. Road signs. Stop, slippery when wet, bumpy. How about graphics an editor or ‘proofreader’ person would use. Paragraph!
I loved the ‘pen’ shown on the top of this page.
Without its’ circle.. I would perfer the graphic to be ‘plain’ no circle, box, bounderies. Just the graphic.. and Happy faces are always good ;>)

Peter – Great products – I use Snag-it every day. I appreciate the way you solicit, and incorporate, user feedback…what temendous customer service! Keep up the super work.
Possible stamps:
Automobile
“Quote”
Passport
Factory
Golfer – To promote golf outings
Peter, Great Idea! I love Snag-it –couldn’t work without it. The stamps are a great idea!
How about different shapes? I need a 5 point star, a crescent moon, some kind of cool 3D check mark and a tree.
Thanks for asking for user input!
Being an bridge-addict I would love to have hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs, soft colors and also soft grey design, sharp outline almost white inside
I would suggest flow chart symbols like Process, Paper Tape, Database, End point, etc. This would provide the possibilty for a quick mock up of a process for an online presentation or even an email. I use Snagit a lot for help files and screen prints to guide user through web site functionality. I create my own flow chart symbols manually so stamps would shorten the development.
marvelous
It would be nice to have:
1. An stamp with the image of a blackboard and eraser on it.
2. Stamps with all of the common mathematical symbols on them. Your set already includes the plus sign.
3. Square or round stamp with the word ‘NEW’ in it. You currently include ‘new’ as a word balloon but this doesn’t always lend itself to widespread use.
I make greeting cards… so I would like a blank/empty stamp so that I could import one of the hundreds of things that I already have in my Snagit Folder onto. I.E. pictures of friends, children and grandchildren, places we have been on vacation, etc.

i’m in oil. although it might be specific, i’d like oil industry stamps. you might consider medical or other as well.
I would like to have stamps that say:
– Done !
– For Review
– Check it !
– For Export
– Leave it !
– Comment
Screen Beans were very useful in their editable WMF or PICT formats, but desperately need to be updated to a modern format. Much of their usefulness it that they strip down the characters to the minimum necessary to represent an idea or emotion. More modern images tend to be over-realistic and include the baggage of race, ethnicity, class, gender, etc.
For examples, see:

I would love nature stamps. Especially Hawaiian themed ones like plumeria, hibiscus and palm trees.
Waves, fish, taro, octopus (tako) Hawaiian petroglyphs, even southwest ones, Egyptian hieroglyphs might be nice too. Really comical emoticons would be fun as well as classy seasonal and holiday stamps.
I am a manager of software training and desktop applications. I would love to see colorful stamps with various handwriting promoting encouragement or things to come! Good Job! Coming Soon! Next Session! You Rock! Unbelievable! You’re the Best! An apple a day! Super End User! This Year! Make a Difference! Come to Training! Stay in the Know! Super Feature! This one’s great! You’ll love this one! Client Service! Excellent!
Very handsome stamps I could use these on a Android app I am building.
Thanks
1.) What about letters/fonts ( the alphabet, preferably international) in the format of an old “stamp” that way the user can set up the words they want as a real “stamp”…? (color, red, blue and black)
2.) A cinema “ticket” stamp..
Thanks!
We use your product constantly during the development and production processes in our community of collaborators. We would like a set of stamps that address the phases of development with auto calendar and name capability.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Good Luck on your project.
I use a lot of pictures in work instructions, teaching handouts and topics I share. There are two types of clipart I use that takes ages to find before adding and would be terrific for stamps.
1. Christian symbols in 3d. All of the normal ones like crosses, candelabra’s, small picture symbols of boats (01ad era), main characters,churches etc.
2. I would find animals from each country very useful. Just the main ones that are popular or better known, i.e. Australia – kangaroos, emu’s, koalas, crocodiles, Easter bilbys, wedge tailed eagle etc. America – bald Eagle, grizzly, mountain lion, squirrel etc.
I just used a few animal examples for Aust and USA but the options for most countries would be almost limitless. This may spread the use of SnagIt through schools all over the world as a very useful tool. It is already a very useful tool to those who know about it but expansion won’t hurt SnagIt.
1. Add the international “OK to procede”. Octognal, green background with white verticle bar. It is opposite of red with horizontal white bar.
2. Summary brackets: { and }.
BTW you are one killer app for the price!
Stamps for currencies – £, $ ,etc. As many as you can gather.
Stamps for Greek & Cyrillic letters.
Stamps for the international warnings for chemicals (Irritating, Poisonous, Radioactive, Bio-danger, Carcingenous etc.)
Stamps for weather – rainy, cloudy, synnu, snowy, misty, etc.
Stamps for grading things according to quality –
one star, two stars, 3 stars, then an medal,2 medals, followed by gems.

What about a stamp that covers the life cycle of a humman or a business.
What is more personal than family and friends or if you are starting a business getting your news out of your company for your friends.
What about symbols that build goodwill.
What about symbols that represent things from days gone by.
Symbols that draw friends to your web site they need to be colorful with easy to read fontss.
Holiday classics with animation alwasy draw customer.
It would be really helpful to have:
1. elearning buttons (next, replay, home, etc.) that can be used.
2. I also think restroom signs for male, female, uni, and handicapped would be helpful.
3. Finally, an environmental-friendly stamp, such as that image of a tree with “please do not print unless you have to,” or some other similar language.
This is a great idea; thanks for including us in this discussion.

I’d like to see a full ecommerce set:
Buy now
cart/basket
checkout
etc
How about creating some Environmental Health & Safety signs such as “no smoking” fire extinguisher; etc.
It would be great if you combined Snagit with your Studio. The main thing Studio had that is missing in my version of Snagit is the the turn arrow that rotates text images around. What a great feature that would be in Snagit.
– country flags, country maps, world map
– country currencies
I capture screenshots as part of software testing. I time-stamped my screenshots to proof that is what I saw at that particular date and time. Currently, I use Timeleft (clock and sticker) in combination with SnagIT to achieve this. So a clock and sticker function in the next version of SnagIT would be great.
I need teacher stamps for my blog.
For blogs, I might think the following icons would be useful in a collection:
Links to Video (YouTube, etc)
Links to Audio (Podcast)
Links to PowerPoint or RocketSlide preso
BlogRolls?
RSS/DIGG, etc?
no sure if you are sill looking for ideas so just in case you are I have a few things that I think would be useful to a wide variety of people.
Time stamps — so having numbers 1-9, a :00,:15, :30, :45, EST, PST, CST, AM and PM. Also adding numbers for 10-24 for military)
I use snag-it a lot for making up directions to my home and business so having better map marking stamps would be very useful. Things like tiny pins in various colors, also TURN, LEFT, RIGHT, GO, STRAIGHT, STOP, EXIT, LIGHTS (or traffic light pic), and vector pics of road sign shapes for making freeway/highway exits. Pics of gas/service stations, spoon/fork for eating establishments etc.
and finally, some better smiley faces would be nice
Thank you Annabel,
We sure do. We have pushed the launch of the new Snagit Stamps and decided to do a more general mix of stamps because the wishes were so widespread. It is due to launch in the middle of May.
Thank you for your suggestion!
If you have any questions or if there is anything we can do to assist you, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best Regards,
Peter Gillberg

I know I’m coming in late on this….but I would love to have a stamp of a simple folder. I am an instructional designer and I use Snag It to draw up quick process flow charts. I often need to represent documentation/data being sent electronically to a specific department or database. I can’t believe SnagIt’s free stamps don’t contain a file folder image!
