[[LogoPage]] The winning logo is Anon #1's green state shaped logo.  We need you to look into finding printing locations, prices, and products available to print on.  So far we have information on the following:
 


-local print shop such as Superior Screeners. Probably would require bulk order.  More details needed, someone please do some research.


-Printfection, bulk discount information available [http://www.printfection.com/customer/custom.php?tab=3 here].  This was the source of the blue K-LUG shirt Tim brought to the Second Life March meeting. 


-www.cafepress.com. Probably slightly more expensive, but would not require a bulk order.  We've been warned they won't look great.  For items that can be printed on, see [http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/ Cafe Press].  Tim has already done some research, see the following pages:  [http://www.cafepress.com/k_lug 1] , [http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/help/help_bulkpricing.aspx 2].
