I suppose I could do a couple, though: "In a universe of starships, we're still stuck in the mud: STAR GRUNT" or "DIRT SIDE: what else need be said?" : )

Actually, Maybe we could get some shirts done (semi) professionally for gencon 2K, that way all the listers would know each other, later Chris [quoted original message omitted]

> want to look into a Vacuum Head, [...] At GZG-ECC II Nick Caldwell came in with some simple t-shirts for the con. The main logo across the back was: "The best games are played at GROUND ZERO!". The t-shirts, for any who didn't see, or forgot, can be found at: http://people.canoe.ca/jhan/ft/gzgecc/gzgecc2/images/SatAft/ECC2_Misc2.j pg Mk

Sorry, I've been off-line for a few days, but as this is sort of my original comment, may I suggest: The designing of some logo's should start the process, then worrying about who and what could follow. I think small logo's with vacuumheads for FTII, perhaps the other suggested mottos for DSII and SGII, are good, but some sort of art would be nice, but I'm not sure what. Wildly improbably suggestions include doing both polo's and t-shirts, with the small logo's on the polo's, and small logo's on front, and large sayings on reverse. I do like both the older, used one and the 'grass' one. However, if there's anyone interested in doing the art first, I'd hope the structure above would be useful to keeping options open. I know that doing it as a contest certainly generated a lot of logo's for our department when 'team building' was the big watchword and t-shirts seemed a path. I still liked my big parted lips with teeth holding a striped beetle for the Husker's old nickname, Bugeaters. ;->= Next questions: Does someone want to run the contest? JT willing to judge?
