[sudo-discuss] Sudo Shirts: 2nd Edition

[Daniel Finlay]

Sorry about this, seems like the list only now forwarded this email that came from an un-approved address of mine.  This was an email from many months ago, and is not up to date, there was a good deal of discussion on the logo in its wake.  Anyways, I'm running to work right now, just apologizing for the repeated email.

Also since this design would be a one-screen design, it would be ideal for doing an in-house screen printing workshop using water based inks (another environmentally superior decision), not to mention the possibility of keeping the screen on location for impromptu sudo prints.

That said, this is a more precise sudo logo than we've had before, let me know if the subtle imperfections were cherished and I can revert this design.  (Btw- What's the constellation depicted?  Any?)

If resold at $20 each, there would be a 339% profit on each shirt sold, which is probably a good thing to ask, since it doesn't require change, and it's a fundraising shirt anyway.
