Branding idea for merch.

HAVE A NICE DATA!

On Tshirts this would be very large print with a smiley face perhaps positioned before or after and with :gem_stone: OpenRefine logo perhaps below?

On back top near collar perhaps have openrefine.org ?

Designers wanted and invited for this.

Theme: OpenRefine makes your data look nice
