Since I am not a Supreme Unix Guru, yet; I cannot contribute to the source code. I do graphics, and I am ok at that (I like to think). And yes if I would make profit on them I would sell them and donate the remaining to the project, but it is way too much of a hastle to deal with that. I would rather make them and sell them to cut out even... If the Fbsd project really needs more funding, I would be willing to sell them for profit, and donate. At any rate; I don;t want to deal with profits and all that hastle. My tax lawyer already hates me :). I am opened for slogans though. Why don't people send me what they think they would like on the bumper sticker. Obviously the demon will be on most of them. I am willing to make several different logo's and open a voting session. Then I would print out what people are most interested in. I will think of a few slogans, and hopefully take some input from the peanut gallary. And I can put up the designs on the web (thank god, someone for the web ;) So far we have the plain "Powered by FreeBSD" which I am sure will be popular. Any other ideas out there?
