Logos![edit]
I am a hack designer, but I really do love helping make logos, stickers, t-shirts, and related things to celebrate projects and events. Some of my work is under a free license so I can share it here. Other works rely on a more liberal interpretation of fair use, but might be spotted on laptops and shirts at Wikimedia technical events.
