Hmmm... this is I think the first FUDCon of the year, so now it the time
to set a graphic theme for this year's FUDCons, in 2008 we had the
cityscapes
(
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Artwork_T%282d%29Shirt_fudcon-boston-2...)
and in 2009 the tag clouds
(
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Artwork_T%282d%29Shirt_fudcon-boston-2...).
Let me tr to start the process with a simple question: what people liked
better, the white shirts of 2008 or the black ones of 2009? (for the
record, my preference is for black)
Everyone I've talked to said they really preferred the black and were
happy to get black last time around. I think it might be nice to have a
blue one though... :)
Please everyone feel free to submit ideas, I think the constraints we
have to work with are:
- a small number of colors, the number of color will directly affect the
price, 2 colors would be OK, 3 colors would be high and we can use 4
only if our sponsor agree;
- no small details on the design: small details are hard to print
cheaply, the clouds design had *too small* letters and we had problems
with printing.
Other than that, I think not even the sky is the limit for our
imagination, let's play.
Does anyone have a fashion designer t-shirt design that they like? We
should make something that someone would want to wear even if they
didn't know what Fedora was - then they will start a conversation with
the T-shirt wearer - 'where did you get that shirt?' which opens up the
opportunity to sell Fedora :)
I obviously like Hello Kitty t-shirts like the ones on
sanrio.com but I
don't think that helps :) These are some top-rated ones on threadless
that might be inspirational!

Every distro and conference has a t-shirt with a logo slapped on it.
Let's use this as an opportunity to shine :)
