Yes, I believe this is often used for designs that we would consider, well, inappropriate. I would like to follow up on Andreas's sentiment by vetoing all use of naked garden gnomes. On a more productive note, I've always loved the "official desktop of happy people" tag line. It's very positive, and very mass-appeal. Although I do think the Gnome logo should be on the mug. Maybe reverse side? I would avoid hacking-oriented mugs (for FOG, at least. They could be great for sale.) Our Friends might not be hackers. They might just be grateful and satisfied users. We certainly don't want the Gnome image to be hackers-only. -- Shaun -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
