Dear All,
I am planning on ordering Wikimedia UK branded lanyards, polo shirts and notepads to be used at events. If you would like to send across any ideas concerning the design of these, then please do send them here - ideally by 3 August.
Polo shirts: - These would be stitched on, so the smaller design the better. I have seen a couple of chapters having the polo shirts with just the Wikimedia... logo in the upper left corner, and that looked quite professional.
As for the lanyard: - 4 colour print on one side - Another option would be to only use one colour, which is much cheaper
As for the notebook, a cost effective way would be to have: - A5 Wirebound Book with 350gsm Card Cover - Cover printed 4 colour (allowing for Wikimedia UK logo) - 50 insert sheets printed 1 colour both sides
The bigger quantity I order, the cheaper the items get, so it is best if the merchandise designed is of general character and not geared towards a specific event.
I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts. You can also jot them down herehttp://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/2012_Activity_Plan/Outreach_merchandise_%26_publications
Many thanks, Daria
