Two quirky stickers, two different jobs
The Long Goose and Bigfoot stickers both come from independent Portland artists, but they solve different sticker problems. One is a long, narrow illustration of a goose with two goslings; the other is a compact, waterproof Bigfoot portrait. The right pick depends on where you plan to stick it and how much visual space you have.
Neither sticker is a bad choice. They simply have different shapes, finishes, and stories, and the catalog confirms only some of those details. Here is what the records actually say, so you can compare without guessing.
What the catalog confirms
- Bigfoot Vinyl Sticker: Bigfoot Vinyl Sticker measures 2" x 3" and is described as waterproof, scratch resistant, and resistant to fading over time. A small, weather-ready format suits water bottles, laptops, and other gear that sees handling and light exposure.
Bigfoot Vinyl Sticker - Long Goose Sticker: Long Goose Sticker is approximately 4" inches long and made from weather-resistant matte vinyl. The longer format and matte finish change where it fits and how it looks on a surface.
Long Goose Sticker
Size and shape: compact vs. long and narrow
The Bigfoot sticker is a 2" x 3" rectangle, so it fits in tighter spots. The Long Goose is about 4" long, which gives it a more horizontal footprint. Measure your intended surface before you commit, especially if you are decorating a laptop lid or a curved bottle.
- Bigfoot Vinyl Sticker: 2" x 3". A small, upright format that works on narrow bottle panels, laptop corners, or small flat items.
- Long Goose Sticker: Approximately 4" long. A horizontal format that needs a wider, flatter area to sit cleanly.
Finish and durability: what each record states
The Bigfoot record explicitly lists waterproof, scratch-resistant, and fade-resistant properties. The Long Goose record lists weather-resistant matte vinyl but does not mention scratch resistance or fade resistance. That does not mean the goose sticker lacks those qualities; it means the supplied information does not confirm them. If you need a sticker for a bottle that gets washed or a surface that sees sun, the Bigfoot record gives you more explicit reassurance.
- Bigfoot Vinyl Sticker: Waterproof, scratch resistant, and will resist fading over time, per the catalog.
- Long Goose Sticker: Weather-resistant matte vinyl. Scratch and fade resistance are not confirmed in the supplied record.
Artwork and mood: cryptid cute vs. silly long goose
The Bigfoot sticker comes from Michele Maule Illustration and is described as a cute little sticker for any sasquatch or cryptid lover. Maule is a Portland State University art graduate who works primarily in gouache, pencil, and ink, inspired by nature and cute things. The Long Goose comes from Crowlines, a Portland-based pattern and apparel designer known for bright, colorful animal illustrations. The goose is described as a very loooong goose with two little goslings.
In practice, the Bigfoot reads as a compact character portrait, while the Long Goose reads as a playful, horizontal scene. If you want a single focal sticker, Bigfoot is the simpler choice. If you want a sticker that stretches across a wider area and invites a second look, the goose is the more distinctive shape.
Where each sticker fits best
Use the confirmed dimensions and finishes to match the sticker to the surface. These are suggestions, not manufacturer instructions.
- Bigfoot sticker for a water bottle: The 2" x 3" size and waterproof, scratch-resistant record make it a practical candidate for a bottle panel. Keep in mind that curved surfaces need a smooth application, and the catalog does not provide a step-by-step application method.
- Goose sticker for a laptop: The 4" long format can run along a laptop lid or beside a trackpad area if you have a wide, flat space. The matte vinyl gives a softer look than a gloss finish, though the record does not specify gloss level beyond matte.
- Bigfoot sticker for a small gift or journal: The compact size suits small flat items and adds a cryptid-themed touch without dominating the surface.
- Goose sticker for a wide flat surface: The horizontal 4" length works on wider areas such as a notebook cover, a storage box, or a laptop lid where a longer illustration can sit without bending around a curve.
What the records leave open
The catalog does not provide application instructions, removal guidance, or a full list of compatible surfaces for either sticker. It also does not confirm whether the Long Goose is scratch resistant or fade resistant. Treat those as unknowns rather than assuming either way. If you need a sticker for a high-wear item, the Bigfoot record gives you more explicit durability language to work with. If you are choosing mainly for the artwork and shape, the goose offers a longer, more scene-like illustration.
Both stickers are standard variants with no additional options listed, so the choice comes down to size, finish, artwork, and the surface you have in mind.
