I guess I should step in. I haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to 
GNOME lately but I have kept an eye on this thread. This is definitely 
something I'm interested in doing. I've actually worked on some stuff 
(posters[1], t-shirts[2], and docs[3]). All of it was done with nothing 
but experimentation in mind; it's probably not "optimized" for public 
consumption.

I suppose the first thing to do would be to create plain b&w (cheap) 
posters (logo, project name, foundation's address?). In terms of size, 
I'd shoot for large though that's mostly up to whomever would be 
printing them. Good scalable graphics designed for ISO A-sizes should 
work on anything from A4 to A0.

Somewhere down the road it'd be nice to have thematic posters. That's 
sort of what I meant to do with [1] though what I have in mind now is 
different. I'd like to try something less dogmatic and better targeted 
(GNOME for developers, examples of large scale deployments, &c)

I'll get started on the identity posters. We can talk some more about 
what the thematic posters could be if someone's interested.
