Re: [guadec-list] GUADEC 2017 design proposals

Thanks for the designs, Gary!

In general, it's probably best to be consistent with the rest of the 
GUADEC branding. It's also a good idea to ensure that the t-shirts will 
be understandable to people who won't have been at GUADEC and won't be 
familiar with Manchester, since the shirts need to effectively 
advertise the conference after it has happened. Elements like the 
Manchester bee, Angry Beetham or even I ♥ MCR might not work in that 
regard.

I did a basic design myself the other day, which might work -

Though it's maybe not the most interesting, and is quite similar to the 
2014 design.
