On the other designs: - I really like the heart/person logo of Eugene's (uploaded already). - I love the concept in the open window design, but I would like a bit more of an obvious "KDE" thing on it (perhaps the logo - yes I know it has www.kde org on it). I'm also a sucker for slogans, in principle, though to be honest not on stuff I buy ;-) - Lee's added another design on the wiki http://community.kde.org/Promo/Material/Swag - "it's time" with the K logo built in to a clock. Perhaps it could do with simplifying a bit, but I like the idea. Thoughts? - Win/Mac/KDE, dunno what to do with this really. I can provide a mock-up of the latest suggestions if that's helpful, but I don't think I have the skills (or time anyway) to do the proper version. Personally, I'm not sure I would buy it on a t-shirt, but probably on a mug or something... It could be made quite simple - I can see it but not draw it :-) - I've added another to the wiki, on the theme of "We are KDE". The idea is that it is supposed to look like a crowd holding up cards (like you see at football matches sometimes). Initially I think it could do with less cards (3x6, 2x4?) to make it simpler and maybe some hands holding them, or bits of people visible. any interest in developing this further? I have no time for probably a week or so (writing a presentation, then off to a conference until next Thurs) but I'd be more than happy for someone else to run with it. Btw, spreadshirt shipping costs to Europe are prohibitive for a single item (http://gearwear.spreadshirt.com/shop/info/shipping USD 15 - as much as the bag for example). Can we open a European store too at some point - after we've tested the demand with the US one - or is there another way around this?
