Hoi,
I have at the moment a green and a blue T-shirt that stands for particular
CC licenses. They also have a circle with the logo for the license in it.
The green one has a circle with the little man inside it, the blue one has a
circle with the equal sign.
Thanks,
GerardM
PS I used to have many T-shirts for the jogging I did. Now I am getting more
and more T-shirts for the good causes that gave me their T-shirt.

This is fantastic. I'm quite surprised actually, that you were able
to convince them to take such a bold step.
It's always annoyed me, the casualness with which many people use the
highly ambiguous phrase "Creative Commons License". I think it's the
complicated specific names (like
"Attribution-NonCommerical-ShareAlike") that are causing people to
gloss over the differences.
One thing that has occurred to me, is maybe they should consider
color-coding their licenses, like NBC used to due with their different
radio networks in the USA (they had "Red", Blue", "Orange",
"Gold" and
"White" Networks ). This would not be a replacement of the current
names, but rather "nicknames" for colloquial use.
For, example, this is one possible scheme:
Creative Commons Violet (by)
Creative Commons Blue (by-sa)
Creative Commons Green (by-nc)
Creative Commons Yellow (by-nc-sa)
Creative Commons Orange (by-nd)
Creative Commons Red (by-nc-nd)
