I like the design. I wear a black T shirt or black golf shirt at exhibition/s as a support volunteer, and this matches the black (Ubuntu) baseball cap. Black has an air of formality about it and can stand out. As long as competing T's are not also black.... I am an enthusiast advocate and not a deeply technical person and I would be a bit embarrassed to be advertising that I am a 'Guru' though. But I love advertising Ubuntu. I have various friends and family who are ubuntu users who would also like to wear tsuff sometimes, but would never wear a 'Guru' comment. It would be aimed at cognoscenti. For events among competing products, the invitation to 'ask me about Ubuntu' is great. Also since I often wear a T shirt under an open sports shirt (sometimes it is not warm enough to use a T shirt only), the centre front of the T shirt is often visible, and I want that to contain the text 'Ubuntu!' In UK I am aware of a traditional popular advocacy for many club activities which would translate into the Ubuntu scene as for example: Do it with Ubuntu! And with the community related implications of Ubuntu the meaning, and any kitsch irony is interesting. My personal choice would be for 'Do it with Ubuntu' on the front, and 'Ask me about Ubuntu' on the rear A text I have used on a LED scrolling badge is Ubuntu Do It With Ubuntu Do It With Ubuntu Do It With Ubuntu Do It With Ubuntu Do It With Ubuntu which attracted a number of positive comments. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
