When you say newest black one do you mean the one at the top of the first
page?  Or the one at the end of the second page?  A lot of the items do have
www.kde.org on them.

To the group, when marketing these things do we prefer just kde.org over
www.kde.org?  I didn't think about that until now.  I can change them if
shorter is better.

Also, adding a line of text seems to add 3 dollars to the cost of the
shirt.  If we submit logos that has text built in we could avoid that price
hike.  See this item as an example:
http://gearwear.spreadshirt.com/kde-messenger-bag-A5875456/customize/color/126.
It would be 3 bucks cheaper if we put the "www.kde.org" in the actual vector
graphic.

By the way, so everyone knows, we can upload one more vector graphic and
then no more until we sell 10 items.  It starts out at 3 total, but will get
the ability to add 5 more after we sell 10 things.
