To get the ball rolling again on this I've tried to pull together the various t-shirt designs I have floating about so far onto one page. It includes a tidy up of the Activity logo surrounded by its name in different languages (if there's no strong objection to this design I'd like to do this for a few more activities, say Turtle Art/Blocks, Write, Paint, <insert your fav activity here>). Feedback welcome:

I've linked to it from the Marketing_Team/Swag page.

Another likely design is the Sugar Labs logo, large across the front, with a few activities and users casually positioned about (booth banner/neighbourhood view like).
