Oh, sorry for that, thanks for pointing it out, Thomas.

2, designing T-shit: T-shit will be given to volunteers on that day, which need to be remarkable, and represent our logo.
That would be T-*shirt*, Zeyi...
I would (although not yet a WMF-GB member) be delighted to chase up Chamber's Street Museum in Edinburgh to do a day.
I got dragged round there from around age 8 (32 years ago) by my grandfather. He was a teacher and ex-mining engineer from WWII. At that thime they had a lot of hand-made (but look like Hornby) models of engineering work. I would be most interested in knowing if they still have them hidden away somewhere. As a kid I loved going round and pushing all the buttons to make things like bridges raise and mineheads run. Those would make great little video clips for commons if I can borrow some sort of decent vid-cam.

I assume we need the small, middle and large sizes to fit different volunteers. and for color, I would like to know what do members think about?

I was talking about image size and colour. What requirements does the image need to meet?
From a personal point of view, having a really whacky colour would be nice
-- like a vibrant pink logo, á la Amnesty International's colour schemes (but WMUK :)). However, I doubt that the Wikimedia Identity Guidelines would let us.
Perhaps a logo such as [love needed], although that's more of an inside joke? There's some alternative fundraising banners floating around at Meta that we could adapt if we wanted slogans. A WMUK logo with a monospace "<3", as we're internet based, washed out in the background?

If we come up with rough consensus on something plausible, it wouldn't hurt to at least ask WMF about a logo variant.

Sometimes it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission. ;-)
If you're prepared to quickly take down anything deemed too horrific you should not have any issue experimenting with logo design variants. Based on the current fundraiser, I think the volunteers can do better than most pro advertising agencies. It's in the metrics the ad agencies are really good for.
