That's why I suggested our motto (the one on the wiki) instead. Also, as the poster will be at the booth, we will be there to explain it. And yes, Alexandre Dumas unfortunately "stole" the motto, I learned it in elementary school as being the words said in 1291 on the Rütli :-) But then, I also learned Wilhelm Tell and Winkelried to have been historical figures and not legends... > But anyways: It's a nice idea.

Well, rather not, we have a very nice logo and I don't think we should overdo it with the "historical" hints. Also, we only have space for one poster, this would really be too much. I think there's enough space on a A1 poster for more than one language.
