Remember the Typographic Postcards’ Kickstarter project we mentioned back in June? The project was a big success and Harald ended up printing and shipping tons of postcards! We received our backer’s reward last week, and can confirm that the postcards are gorgeous, printed on high-quality paper with a very smooth finishing. The words on them are simple yet so versatile… there really seems to be a card for every occasion!
Harald kindly included a few extra packs on our reward, which we’re struggling happy to give away to 2 lucky postcrossers! :)
For a chance to win one of two packs of 26 postcards, leave a comment below and let us know of a word or very short sentence you think would be a good fit for these cards! Here are some that have already been printed:
Good luck everyone! Don’t forget to check back on this post around this time week to know whether your name was picked by Paulo’s random number generator.
PS – For fans of Harald’s work, he’s currently crowdfunding the 5th edition of his typographic wall calendar, which is entirely made of the same keyboard keys as these postcards… perfect present for a designer friend? :)

These are great! For a new phrase, how about "You Rock"? Or, "Postcrossing"? :)
What's about: CARDS FOREVER
"YOU GOT MAIL".
"Mail for you!"
FROM ME TO YOU
HAPPY DAY
HAPPY POSTCROSSING !
I love you!
What about "The Keys to Happiness" ?
What about "postcards are therapy"?
"ENJOY" or "ENJOY THIS CARD"
I'm a proud and happy backer of this Kickstarter project! I want my participation to be for a friend: Postcrossing user huesosflojos :)
There have been some great suggestions. A "punny" idea: YOU'RE MY TYPE
"Love is postcard. I'm falling in postcard with you." :)
JE SUIS POSTCROSSING !
Perhaps : WITH LOVE <3
Gut gem8 (=Well done)
Sumares: brilliant!!
So many words/phrases would look cute on these!!
-A Postcard for You
-Knock Knock
-I Love You
"A FRIEND YOU HAVEN'T MET"
I like the phrase 'a stranger is just a friend you haven't met'. Whenever I send or receive a Postcrossing card I always feel I'm connecting with friends - even if we haven't met :)
Peace or Greetings From
just PEACE ...
Q W E R T Y U I O P
that's what I would put on the card. Love them!
"It takes all types"
I would like a card with HAPPY on it, or SNOW, that would be nice.

HELLO!
These are very well done, congratulations.
For my suggestions, many have already been said, or variants there of.
A lot of people suggested "Happy Christmas" I would like to suggest "Seasons Greetings" as an alternative.
Particularly liked the "You've Got Mail" idea, not only for the pun, but the movie reference too.
Another hitchhiker's guide reference could be "Don't Panic!", though "42" is very good too.
"Wish You Were Here" is something I'd love to see (or even receive!)
Great cards!
My idea: WOW! A POSTCARD!
Because I think most non-postcrossing people (and postcrossing people too) get that feeling when they find a postcard in their mailbox.
ME + YOU = HAPPINESS
"TYPO"
:)
'WHAT'S STOPPING YOU?'
Post with love!
Love is a battlefield
I am not a bill
Codes and Keys... :-)
Or, something in text-language like "c u soon" or just "see you soon"... I'm not very creative, but love these cards!
Keyword!
NOW OR NEVER!
Thanks so much :)
I think "You are amazing" would look cute on it
IMAGINE in my postcard.

GREETINGS
"HACK THE PLANET"
Because if you're gonna make postcards out of ancient keyboards, you might as well include a reference to a 20 year old movie.
Put on your red shoes and dance!

How about "Snail Mail" ? ;D
I think it might be a quite positive card:
WORLD NEEDS YOU! AND YOUR SMILE :-)
How about "Bon Voyage"?
"Good Job!" maybe?
"Read me". Wonderful postcards!
postcard thingy : ''Keep me close to your heart''!

How about "From my heart to yours (I shall write)"? These look amazing btw!
My suggestion is: 'Simplicity'. Sending a postcard is such a simple and creative way to let people know you think about them.
Maybe "Sending..."?

These cards are so nice. "POSTCROSSING" would be a very appropriate message for the cards we all send here, of course.
How about "Connecting the World" ? Thanks for the contest!
YOU'VE GOT MAIL!

- Hallo!

etc. (Hello in different languages, with the language below)
Some of those I thought I would surgest, is already taken. But what about: PEACE; LOVE AND POSTCROSSING.
Imagine
"Love what you do and do what you love" :)
We use a lot of emoticons nowadays. Lets go old-school with the smiley face. this :) or this ^-^ or even this :D
It's very cute.
Try not, do. For there is no try.
