[Reclaimmayday] Fwd: Re: T-Shirts

[anna at phonecoop.coop]

People seemed fairly happy with something approximating to what Lukas 
suggested - the words "Bradford Mayday" or "Mayday Bradford" (I forget 
which) and the Maypole, but he was quite clear that it was not 
pretending to be the finished article. I thought a simplified version 
in black and red (which might cover the punking-up aspect) would work 
on most colours of T-shirt, and maybe white could be substituted for 
black on black T-shirts. Alternatively, if the whole design 
incorporated some sort of box then the same colour scheme might work 
regardless of background colour.
