Over the past couple of months I have put together a group order based on this
logo, which is just now resulting in merchandise trickling out to members of
this list all over the world. To order something at this time, you will need
to contact Image Graphics directly to place your order. (An order form is
attached at the end of this message.) They may or may not give you the
pricing listed here, and they may or may not require a $25 minimum order (then
again, they may - we have collectively ordered over $1,500.00 worth of stuff
so far!):
