Yup, they are nice :) Now, although they are nice, I'd suggest _avoiding_ designs which include printing outside the regular (i.e. center-chest) area, as the last suggestion. Although those shirts do look sweet, printing them is a logistical nightmare, as they have to be printed before cutting the fabric and making it into proper-shirts (as they go beyond the borders and up to a region with irregular texture). Try to keep all designs with a maximum printout area of an A4 (US letter) area, minus ~2cm on each side. Also, each extra color/ink adds quite a bit of cost. The DC6 shirts were the most complex so far (printed with 6 layers of color, 4 of them needing submilimeter aligning). Before DC6 we had had 1 and 2 inks, and since DC7 we have always had 2 or 3 inks. The DebConf12 logo is quite a challenge now, as it is already by itself five colors. At least two of them (tail+wing) can be "squished" down with very few people noticing. Possibly the dark-yellow head can be made with black dithering over the yellow, but not every printing technique allows for it. Yes, I know the logo is already picked, but try to find a way to reduce its complexity... Maybe we could print its outline rather than each of its hues? I would suggest centering on the bird's head+swirl, but I know the tail is the distinctive item of the guardabarranco... So I'll try not to attempt to be creative, and leave the details up to you :) _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
