100th anniversary sticker

As mentioned on my project proposal, 2015 is the 100th anniversary of the publication of Kafka's story "The Metamorphosis". I think it would be a good idea to apply this celebration to my products.

If you google "100 year anniversary" then you find a lot of different labels, but most of the most successful ones in terms of design seem to be circular. I also think that the Pan MacMillan Alice sticker:
is well worth taking inspiration from since it's contemporary and looks good. (It's also a good guide in terms of dimensions - 40mm x 40mm

The early ideas mimicked the same sort of cockroach image I used for the cover I did a while ago, but I realized it would be silly to have that as a sticker on the cover on which it already exists so I developed the "100" type as cockroach legs before moving on to the circular design which was inspired by looking at reference imagery for cockroach legs for the previous design.

I noticed the MacMillan sticker had little juts coming out of the side and thought it might be more interesting to have the leg extending out of the sticker. It is so I've decided to use that as the final one.
