The prices are a bit high, but plot prints look reeeeeally good.
Maybe we could transfer the designs to Cafepress, but keep them on
spreadshirt as well, with a notice next to the cafepress entries that
higher quality versions are available. (I'll head over to that meta
link and stop clogging up the mailing list now.)

Hi -- I've made a new store for wikipedia,
and come up with a few new
shirt designs. I posted this on WikiEN-L and was told to bring it
here, so I'll copy that message:
Great designs! I like the swoosh-like W. However, the base prices are a bit eye-popping;
I thought
the base prices of CafePress were high.
The store is at
https://www.spreadshirt.com/shop.php?sid=21410 -- let
me know what you think (though for god's sake don't buy anything from
it yet; nobody but the hosting/shirtmaking company will get any
money).
I didn't use any of the current logos, mostly because I couldn't see
myself wearing them; instead, threw together a new vector design (in
any case, wikipedia's logo is too detailed to be plot printed). I was
wondering where to go from here -- who to contact, whether the new
store should be Official or if I should run it on my own, and give
wikimedia some or all of the profits (and how to go about that).
I'd rather simply create a new section of the CafePress store that had your and
similar designs.
We will need to work out the copyright and trademark issues though. Right now we have a
policy
that all CafePress designs need to have their copyright owned by the foundation. And, of
course,
the Foundation already has a trademark on the term 'Wikipedia.'
I do also have some ideas for bumper stickers and
such (spreadshirt
only does shirts); I was told Maveric runs the english-language
wikipedia cafepress store, but wasn't able to find a user of that
name.
Maveric149 - What, you never heard of me? I need to edit more often. :) Please add more
ideas
