[Wikipedia-l] New CafePress designs

Mon Apr 3 00:17:02 UTC 2006

Upon request I created a new CafePress shop for Wikipedia that only features the Wikipedia logo -
no text or anything else. See
http://www.cafepress.com/wikipedia/1330270

I also uploaded Tlogmer's neat designs for two bumper stickers: One sticker has an abstract of the
English Wikipedia's [[Bumper sticker]] article and another has an abstract of the [[Automobile]]
article. I've already asked him to create [[Mousepad]] and [[T-shirt]] article designs. Hopefully
many more article designs will follow that will be suitable for placement on shirts (an abstract
of the [[Exploding whale]] article on a shirt, for example).  
See:

Tlogmer's neat 'wiki-swoosh' design is still waiting for me or somebody else to figure out what to
use it for or even what to name it (I'd like to avoid using the 'swoosh' name for obvious
trademark reasons with a certain shoe company). Might be a good logo for the whole Wikimedia
community in order to distinguish it from the foundation.... 

For those of you not familiar with it, the design is here:

All rights to that logo have already been assigned to the Wikimedia Foundation.

Another great thing Tlogmer created was a very unique design for possible Wikimania logo. You can
see it here:

No matter what logo is used, I do think that it would be a bit boring to use the Wikimedia logo
again for Wikimania. Something unique is needed. However, we need to choose a logo fast so that we
can promote it for Wikimania and order plenty of shirts and other items with it.
