BizTalk Server 2020 – 20 days, 20 posts – day 20. Finally, the last blog post of this season. What was supposed to be 20 blog posts in 20 days has become a challenge difficult to fulfill because of the current circumstances all over the world, in which parents are working from home with their children, also studying from home. Nevertheless, I only needed twice the time (an additional 22 days) to finish the initial goal.

And to finalize this season, I reserved the best for the end :). My new BizTalk Server Lord Darth Vader sticker. I wasn’t supposed to share this sticker in this way, the initial intention was to present and give it away (physical sticker) at the INTEGRATE 2020 event in London but do the circumstances and the fact that INTEGRATE 2020 will be an online event now, I decided to share here the support files for you to print it in a graphics shop if you want to have this Welcome To The Dark Side of the force sticker :).

📝 One-Minute Brief

Closes the 20 days, 20 posts series with a fun community moment by introducing the Lord BizTalk Darth Vader sticker, a creative take on BizTalk Server’s “bad‑boy” reputation, shared with downloadable print‑ready assets.

Welcome To The Dark Side of the Force

BizTalk Server was always the bad boy of integration, the one that nobody likes (but everyone admires or wishes to have its skills). As a reference, the first BizTalk marketing campaign produced by Microsoft was a T-Rex (a bad boy).

Because I’m a Star Wars fan, and when I decided to create this new sticker version, it coincided a little bit with the release of the last film, I decided to create this new Lord BizTalk Darth Vader version, maintaining the bad boy concept.

This package is a collection of 3 different image formats of the new Lord BizTalk Darth Vader sticker, two of them are available in vector format, which will allow you to use and resize without losing quality:

  • BizTalk-Darth-Vader.ai
  • BizTalk-Darth-Vader.pdf
  • BizTalk-Darth-Vader-01.png

All of the resources are in the original size, ready to print in a graphics shop.

Thanks to Cristóvão Silva (Graphic & Web Designer @ DevScope) for helping me create these resources.

I hope you enjoy!

I already have several stickers printed that I will give away in future events or ship to some of you who will organize events.
