 The Oboe BBoard

I have an idea for bumper stickers in imitation (and open admiration) of those oval 42.2 bumper stickers earned by marathon runners the world over.
The sticker would sport an African Blackwood-colored oval background and in white would have a tiny A= figure and then a large 442.
The shape could also be that of a Cor Anglais bell, but I like the oval.
Around the upper edge, the text "Oboe Players Club", and around the bottom either "member of the club", or "Stay In Tune".
I don't have either the time or the graphics skills to create this, but I would really like one on my oboe case! Anyone selling these at IDRS would make a small and satisfying profit, I should think.
Anyone willing to do this?
P.S., Imitations of this sticker abound, I have seen one that says "0.0" - which is about my limit.

Hi I made a car bumper sticker ..... which I have on my car:
Oboists are a pain in the "A" 440.

Love that phrase, Mark! Although in my case, I'm usually a pain in the A-415.

@Faith, not sure how to contact you ..
Regarding A442 - it is the standard where I live and it is pretty much the middle of the range. In Germany where A=443 is the standard, there are still some orchestras that use A=444 (as does the Vienna Philharmonic).
For the full list, look here.
