There's a lovely, simple t-shirt design that has been used to date [care of pentagram?], just a large XO on an orange or green background. Perhaps we can find a way to have those made on a more continuous basis and made available publicly. I don't think the square OLPC logo makes an ideal shirt design... perhaps as part of a design.
a shirt with the joke warning messages on one side would be neat (perhaps w/ something prettier in the center square)... and the 10m design is interesting (would that be one half on each side?)
