<br>>><br>>> I would propose KDE-IN written at the front with India Flag's<br>>> tri-colour ( saffron, white, green ) in the style similar to Akademy<br>>> 2005 at Malaga. The KDE gear can replace the "chakra" from the Indian
<br>>> flag. Plus the KDE gear colour can be blue as the "charkra" in the<br>>> Flag is blue as well. :) .<br>> How about the konqii instead of the gear? It can be a fashion<br>> statement too :)
<br>><br><br>Unfortunately the Konqi would be really hard to print, and very<br>expensive to print (due to the small elements of so many different<br>colors). Sticking to two or three colors would greatly reduce the cost
<br>while offering a much broader range of printers to choose from since<br>not many do full color print on t-shirts.<br><br>But the idea of using Konqi is nice :-) Perhaps with time we could come<br>up with a one or two color Konqi for this purpose.
