[Scummvm-devel] Volunteer for organizing the T-Shirt design contest

[Henry Bush]

Personally I really like the mocked up shirts, and want one. I don't
see a problem with having two different designs, so I say go ahead
with Dan's design and consider another as well, for which we could
have a contest (if the required people have the motivation ;-).
