Details
The t-shirt color will (probably) be black, but we can look into changing the color depending on the design that is ultimately selected. If the winning design's assumed color is something other than the traditional black, we will try to get the t-shirts in the requested color. If that color is not feasible, the logo will default to white or gray, depending on the requested design contrast, on a black t-shirt.
Submissions
Mat Kelly:
Roman numerals for the conference year, silhouette of "Old Nassau" and the tiger stripes to represent Princeton University, where the conference will be held
Paul Fuller:
I made a simplified version of the Princeton, NJ city logo and added the text "code{4}lib 2025 princeton, nj" in a circle around it.
Devon Murphy:
This design combines Princeton University's mascot, the tiger, and a humorous take on common job duties amongst metadata workers and library IT professionals. The image depicts a cartoon tiger holding a laptop aloft, as if to throw it, with "MIGRATE THIS" in bold text underneath. We are constantly dealing with system changes and migrations, why not laugh at it?
Emma Clarkson:
A simple Helvetica homage to the breadth of conversation in the CODE4LIB community. (All real subject lines from the listserv in 2024.)
