Re: DML T-shirts anyone?

[MKIRKALDY@aol.com]

It is great to see the continued interest in the DML t-shirt idea--thanks to 
those who have done research and offered suggestions.

A few points of clarification from Dino List Central, however:   

1) No one would "own" the DML t-shirt franchise; it would be owned by the 
list.  

2) This would not be a for-profit enterprise, and if for some reason there 
was money left over from the sale of the shirts, those funds would be donated 
to a paleontological cause on behalf of the DML.  Mickey Rowe is a scientist 
so he doesn't need millions of dollars in t-shirt monies.

3) The logo should encompass the purpose and essence of the dinosaur list.  
We have had several good suggestions as to this so far (thank you to Pat 
Norton and Tom Lipka for their input).  

4) Logo entries should contain the words "The Dinosaur Mailing List" in some 
form. 

5) The winning artist will receive an as-yet unspecified sum as payment for 
the exclusive and perpetual use of the DML logo, along with full credit for 
the design.  We obviously don't want someone to get mad and take his logo 
with him. 

6) We can probably create a web page for the purposes of selecting the 
design, ascertaining how many people are interested in ordering, and giving 
details on how to do so.  I think that a printing and fulfillment company 
would be the best choice so that no one on the list has to bother with 
payments and mailing.  No company has been selected for this.  

7) Since this would "officially" represent the dinosaur list, Mickey Rowe and 
I reserve the right to veto any aspect of the proposed enterprise.

7) (Hairy/feathery issues that I have forgotten?)
