Why not utilise some of that area as free space to accentuate the rest?
Then you could say more with less, and arouse curiosity, e.g.

 |---------------------------|
1     The power to serve
2
3   http://www.FreeBSD.org
4

or use line 4 instead of 3 (I'm not sure whether line 4 would lead onto
line 1 without a gap or not, and that's important), so that some text
is visible at any angle. People don't usually spend much time reading
pens :-) The name is obvious from the URL.

Another way to spice up the mystery would be something like:

 |---------------------------|
1  My other writing tool is
2         FreeBSD
3
4   http://www.FreeBSD.org


 |---------------------------|
1  My other writing tool has
2     the power to serve.
3
4   http://www.FreeBSD.org


 |---------------------------|
1 My other communication tool
2  has the power to serve.
3
4   http://www.FreeBSD.org


Come on folks, think of something better. Whatever doesn't get used
on pens will give us ideas for other uses.
