Hello all,
I hope my comment doesn't count as an influx ;-)
I think it's sensible to have co-branding where possible. We do need to promote ourselves as a chapter as much as the projects, in some ways.
The mugs that David mentioned (we still have some left if anyone would like one!) are a really good example of this.
Thanks,
Stevie

Without wishing to prompt an influx of comments about visual identity
etc, I
think we should be wary of promoting the chapter (not just with
merchandise)
over the projects which the chapter exists to support. Wikipedia is a much more recognisable brand and the largest and most successful project WMUK supports and thus (imo) makes for the most
desirable
and attention-grabbing merchandise.
We should consider that this isn't merchandise for sale, but giveaway swag - chapters can't sell merchandise (yet), just give it away. (Go visit WMUK and get away without a coffee mug.)
