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 here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_ideas/Cafe_Press
