BTW, I need a new mouse pad and if there were a well-designed one I'd buy it. :)
Yes, thats kind of what I am thinking, just a logo is too plain, but sometimes necessary. I imagine two sets of gear, one with just the plain logo for things like Haiku corporate events at shows etc. and one with a trendy design that can match up to Enties, Flip, Icon, Emerica skateboard gear in terms of fashion, this is the gear we would wear to our real jobs on dress down Friday, and (those of us that are lucky of us to be students) University or college.
If CafePress doesn't work very well for Europeans there is also spreadshirt.net. If anyone wants to design merchandising for us and then setup a shop (where the money goes to Haiku ;) this would be wonderful! FYI, Michael Phipps should have a few more shirts at home, so if you want one, just ask him.
Unless there is someone more active within the Haiku community, I don't mind sorting all the European side of things out and helping set up the details of the contest. -- Thanks, Andrew McCall andrew.mccall@xxxxxxxxx
