They look awesome -- very true to the orginal design. I modified the colors to be mostly 100% Panatone but even the drop shadows came out very nicely. Kudos to makestickers.com for an excellent job.

I'm doing the sticker through makestickers.com outta Chicago. They did a great job with an order I placed a few months back so I'm hoping these are gonna turn out just as well. They have some sister sites for doing pins and t-shirts I believe so I may check into that after the stickers arrive. If either you or Jakub are interested in getting one, I'd be happy to send one yer way. Sweet! I’m doing the sticker through makestickers.com outta Chicago.

Sometimes I find Git terminology to be a little confusing so I appreciate any help I can get. If you have any more great nuggets o' Git wisdom, lay 'em on me.

It is called 'octopus' because while typical, ordinary merge has two parents (two legs), octopus merge has more than two parents (more than two legs). I think the limit is 16 legs... err, parents.
