[Foundation-l] Logotype font, t-shirts, Wikimedia Sweden

[Jon Harald Søby]

I made the logo a year ago or so, but didn't have the appropriate font
at the time; I can redo it again now with the correct font, in any
resolution you'd like (well, up to about 1000 pixels or so, which is
the biggest resolution logo we have, AFAIK).
