I think that would be a good idea, but we must also keep in mind that we 
don't know how many people might be interested in submitting a logo design.  
Our artists make their living through paintings and illustrations, so we 
could not expect them to donate their work any more than we could ask a 
medical doctor on the list to do a free diagnosis.  So, we would need to know 
how many people might be interested in doing a design, how much it would cost 
to produce a t-shirt with a logo, and then how many people would actually buy 
one.  

Mailing shirts to list members around the world could get very 
complicated/expensive, so we might also want to think about doing a 
downloadable logo which list members could take to their local print shop and 
have applied to their own choice (and correct size) of t-shirts.
