Cool stuff!
I think we have the pieces and it's now a matter of finding the right combination.
In the last Summit there was a limited edition of the maemo.org black shirt that looks exactly like http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php...1&d=1249575403
I can tell people LOVE it. I'm not big fan of black shirts (because there are already too many) but this one has a great combination of colors that makes it cool and slick.
Then again, there might be a good winner behind an orange shirt, since both maemo.org and Amsterdam have a preference for that colour.
Then http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php...1&d=1249576944 is a very good idea.
I very much prefer the original "X X X" because in Amsterdam is everywhere recognized and it's still cool if you have never seen this before. the "X" alone might look more stylish but reminds me too much to the Xorg logo and, dunno, looks like totally disconnected from the original local flavour.
National flags are problematic in many countries and contexts, but a local flag referring a local event is different (trust me: I'm Catalan)
The Amsterdam flag specifically is a usual marketing tool used in local souvenir shops, football games, public buildings... Unproblematic. To me, reminds me of beer (don't ask me why).
About the text, "maemo.org - SUMMIT 2009" is a not so strong combination. What about

UPDATE concerning the "FiF" shirt... I've removed it from the wiki so that we could have some talk about the limited edition shirt at the Summit. If Nokia will pay, I'm all for doing it.

Below will be a few posts containing various design/color combinations on a black shirt. Keep in mind that the fewer colors, the less expensive the shirts will be. For instance, one of the posts contains orange/red on the front and orange/white on the back (three colors), but it would be much better to do orange/red on the front and just orange on the back (two colors).
Anyway, I'm doing these as separate posts, because the forum doesn't let me attach more than 5 images at a time.

Actually, the national flag comment you make is exactly why I lean toward the more abstract of the applications. It could...or might not be...the logo image.
