If someone can hook me up with a contact on the xo against green or orange i can make it happen. working towards finding a supplier. cafepress allows for infinite variation.<br><br>suggest letting ranking/voting decide on at least some designs; makes sense from standpoint of those that would get purchased. don't know if caa is controlling branding to the point of choosing/dictating "prime" designs, but ranking would allow lifting out most popular for manufacturing run. manufacturing run would bring back more $$ to kids. right now cafepress pricing is simple $1.00 beyond their price. haven't had time to ask cafepress to do @ cost for olpc. if someone wants to help reach out, or to help on adapting art for a real manufacturing run, etc., let me know.
<br><br>I don't think square logo is ideal, but I really did like it against white. i think it is strong and would have a good response. there's also a horizontal logo layout.<br><br>one option is to float design mockups through phpmyfaq
<br><br>i asked a student in a class i'm teaching to come up with a mockup for a tour t-shirt -- i think this would go over well (attached) -- I was thinking back to my rock n roll days. recently I've been wearing my tour lanyard and backstage pass -- and i think that would be fun too.
<br><br>the idea is to have maybe target countries as tourdates. not sure if cafepress could handle this. i test ordered merch and will receive some fri, some monday. it's a start. there's two doodz who are helping, and maybe a high school class that can do adaptations (I'm thinking of asking them to make adaptations in different languages). want to get away from cafepress but it's a start. and also a way to include more designs.

There's a lovely, simple t-shirt design that has been used to date<br>[care of pentagram?], just a large XO on an orange or green<br>background. Perhaps we can find a way to have those made on a more<br>continuous basis and made available publicly. I don't think the
<br>square OLPC logo makes an ideal shirt design... perhaps as part of a<br>design.<br><br>a shirt with the joke warning messages on one side would be neat<br>(perhaps w/ something prettier in the center square)... and the 10m
<br>design is interesting (would that be one half on each side?)<br><br>SJ<br><br>On 10/25/07, Seth Woodworth <<a href="mailto:seth@isforinsects.com">seth@isforinsects.com</a>> wrote:<br>> Todd, I will be sending you an email about several things for the site in

<br>> people who'd like to suggest designs to load up and vote and promote to<br>> page. for anyone who is tickled by the idea it would be nice to actually<br>> come up with a t-shirt idea that was built with a laptop. perhaps something
