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

[Lars Aronsson]

Inspired by the creation of Wikimedia Norway (which I attended), 
we are now starting to discuss the formation of a Swedish chapter.  
I hope and think it can be completed before this year's end. The 
recent discussion (in Swedish) can be found on 
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikimedia_Sverige

A similar discussion from a year ago took place on meta, but 
didn't lead to anything real.  The page mentioned above links to 
all such discussions.


Even before the chapter is formed, I think it would be nice to 
print t-shirts with the logotype for the Swedish Wikipedia.  
However, today this logotype doesn't exist in high resolution.  
And the small resolution logotype used on sv.wikipedia.org appears 
to use a font which is slightly different from the one used for 
the other European languages. What is the name of the proper font?  
Is that font available in Gimp?  Or can someone help us with this?

WMF already has a t-shirt shop at cafepress.com (in California) 
and the German chapter has a shop at spreadshirt.de.  Both shops 
charge extra for delivery to Sweden, so the Swedish chapter would 
probably prefer to set up a similar shop based in Sweden. Is there 
any established practice in how to do this?  Does every use of the 
logotypes need to be cleared with the WMF? Should items be sold at 
the price of printing or with a 10% markup, for the benefit of the 
national chapter?

I remember at the first Wikimania (in 2005) there was a large flag 
with the Wikipedia puzzle globe without (?) any text.  Does 
anybody already have a stock of such flags?  I know they can be 
printed in single quantity, but become much cheaper once you can 
print five or ten at a time.  I'd like to buy one or two, and my 
guess is that Wikimedia Norway might also be interested.
